Product Design Expert Skill
1. Overview
This skill takes a validated, clear requirement context (status: PASS) and transforms it into a structured, visual representation suitable for expert review. It acts as the "Concept Artist" of the product team.
2. Input
- Validated Requirement: A structured JSON or markdown block from the
requirement-analyst.
- Project Decisions: The existing
project_decisions.md (to ensure architectural fit).
3. Actions
The skill executes the following pipeline:
Step 1: Conceptualization
- Core Value: What is the single most important user benefit?
- MVP Scope: What is the minimum set of features to achieve that value? (Exclude nice-to-haves).
- User Journey: Identify the happy path.
Step 2: Visualization (Mermaid)
- Flowchart: Create a high-level business process diagram. Use
graph TD or sequenceDiagram.
- Entity: Identify the core data models needed (e.g., User, Order, Product). (Optional: Class diagram).
Step 3: Documentation (Drafting)
- Structure: Create a standard Draft PRD (
docs/prd/[name]-draft.md).
- Content: Include Background, Goals, User Stories, Functional Requirements (High-Level), and the Flowchart.
4. Output Logic (File Generation)
File Path: docs/prd/[kebab-case-name]-draft.md
Template:
