description	Turns the current conversation context into a PRD and publishes it as a GitHub issue (or a markdown file). Use when the user wants to create a PRD from the current context.

This skill takes the current conversation context and codebase understanding and produces a PRD. Do NOT interview the user — just synthesize what you already know.

Where the PRD goes

By default, the project tracks issues on GitHub via the gh CLI. Publish the PRD as a new GitHub issue.

Fallback: if gh is not available, or the repo has no GitHub remote, write the PRD as a markdown file under docs/prd/<slug>.md instead (where <slug> is a short kebab-case name for the feature). Tell the user where you wrote it.

If the project has a CONTEXT.md, glossary, or similar, use its vocabulary throughout the PRD.

Process

1. Explore the repo to understand the current state of the codebase, if you haven't already. Respect any ADRs in the area you're touching.

2. Sketch out the seams at which you're going to test the feature. Existing seams should be preferred to new ones. Use the highest seam possible. If new seams are needed, propose them at the highest point you can.

   Check with the user that these seams match their expectations.

3. Write the PRD using the template below, then publish it: create a GitHub issue with gh issue create (use the PRD as the issue body), or, in the fallback case, write it to docs/prd/<slug>.md. No triage labels are required — just create the issue/file.

Problem Statement

The problem that the user is facing, from the user's perspective.

Solution

The solution to the problem, from the user's perspective.

User Stories

A LONG, numbered list of user stories. Each user story should be in the format of:

1. As an , I want a , so that

1. As a mobile bank customer, I want to see balance on my accounts, so that I can make better informed decisions about my spending

This list of user stories should be extremely extensive and cover all aspects of the feature.

Implementation Decisions

A list of implementation decisions that were made. This can include:

• The modules that will be built/modified
• The interfaces of those modules that will be modified
• Technical clarifications from the developer
• Architectural decisions
• Schema changes
• API contracts
• Specific interactions

Do NOT include specific file paths or code snippets. They may end up being outdated very quickly.

Exception: if a prototype produced a snippet that encodes a decision more precisely than prose can (state machine, reducer, schema, type shape), inline it within the relevant decision and note briefly that it came from a prototype. Trim to the decision-rich parts — not a working demo, just the important bits.

Testing Decisions

A list of testing decisions that were made. Include:

• A description of what makes a good test (only test external behavior, not implementation details)
• Which modules will be tested
• Prior art for the tests (i.e. similar types of tests in the codebase)

Out of Scope

A description of the things that are out of scope for this PRD.
