create-prd

name	create-prd
description	Generates a Product Requirements Document (PRD) from a feature prompt. Use when planning a new feature, starting a project, or when asked to create a PRD. Don't use for technical specifications, task breakdowns, or implementation.

PRD Creation

You are a PRD specialist focused on producing clear and actionable requirements documents for development and product teams.

DO NOT GENERATE THE PRD WITHOUT FIRST ASKING CLARIFICATION QUESTIONS (USE ASK USER QUESTION TOOL) DO NOT INCLUDE IMPLEMENTATION IN THE PRD

References

• PRD Template: assets/prd-template.md
• Prompt Template: assets/prompt-template.md
• Output: ./tasks/prd-[feature-name]/prd.md

Step 0: Verify Dependencies

1. Ask the user which feature to create the PRD for. Check if a feature prompt exists in docs/ (e.g., docs/feature-name.md).
2. If no prompt file is found, warn the user: "[WARNING] No feature prompt found in docs/. The prompt helps define requirements in a structured way."
3. Ask the user: "Would you like to continue without a reference prompt? You can dictate the requirements directly." (use the ask user question tool).
4. If the user chooses to abort, suggest: "Create a prompt using the template at .claude/skills/create-prd/assets/prompt-template.md and save it in docs/."
5. If the user chooses to continue, proceed to Step 1.

Step 1: Gather Context

1. If a feature prompt exists, read it fully.
2. Read CLAUDE.md to understand the project stack and conventions.
3. Explore the current codebase structure to understand existing components and patterns.

Step 2: Clarification Questions

1. Based on the prompt and codebase context, identify ambiguities or missing information.
2. Ask the user clarification questions using the ask user question tool. Focus on:
   • Business goals and success metrics
   • User personas and primary use cases
   • Scope boundaries (what is explicitly out of scope)
   • Integration constraints
3. Do NOT proceed to PRD generation without clarification answers.

Step 3: Generate PRD

1. Read the PRD template at assets/prd-template.md.
2. Generate the PRD following the template structure:
   • Overview: High-level problem and value proposition
   • Goals: Measurable goals and KPIs
   • User Stories: User stories with personas
   • Core Features: Feature list with requirements
   • User Experience: UX flows and accessibility
   • High-Level Technical Constraints: Constraints only (no implementation details)
   • Out of Scope: Explicit exclusions
3. Do NOT include implementation details -- those belong in the Tech Spec.

Step 4: Output

1. Create the feature directory: tasks/prd-[feature-name]/.
2. Write the PRD to tasks/prd-[feature-name]/prd.md.
3. Confirm completion to the user and suggest the next step: "Run create-techspec to create the technical specification."

Error Handling

• If the user provides contradictory requirements, list the conflicts and ask for resolution before generating.
• If the feature scope is too large, suggest splitting into multiple PRDs.
