Writing PRDs

by refoundai · 3K installs

The skill

The writing prds skill helps turn ideas into short product requirement documents: a clear problem, measurable success metrics, bounded scope and a clarity review.

Only when you ask.

The habit

Short PRDs with clear problems.

↻ Runs by itselfnew PRD draft

How the habit works.
You don't have to.

Three questionsWhen does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?

01

It starts by itself

new PRD draft. Runs in Claude Code routine.

  • ↻ new PRD draft
  • a PRD or one-pager file is added or changed

02

It checks its work

core sections present. If a check fails, it tells you.

  • ✓the draft has a problem statement near the top
  • ✓at least one success metric is listed
  • ✓a non-goals or out-of-scope section exists
  • ✓the draft fits on about one page

03

It remembers

PRD review notes. The next run reads it first: earlier reviews and unanswered questions per PRD.

loops/prd-review-loop/notes.md

One run, step by step.
Then it stops.

Stop ruleStops after one PRD per run, with no automatic rewrites.

  1. 01

    Draft the problem

    Your agent helps state the core problem in a few sentences without naming a solution.

  2. 02

    Set metrics

    It helps define specific, measurable outcomes that later filter feature requests.

  3. 03

    Bound the scope

    It narrows fuzzy requests with shaping techniques and lists what is out of scope.

  4. 04

    Ask questions

    It asks you the key questions about the problem, metrics, non-goals, engineering input and time budget.

  5. 05

    Review clarity

    It audits the draft for brevity and readability and flags over-specification.

  6. 06

    Flag mistakes

    It flags the common mistakes, like the word just, early high-fidelity mocks, missing non-goals and waterfall handoffs.

What it may do.
Nothing more.

Safe by defaultIt writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.

Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.

Quick checkRead both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the Writing PRDs skill helps.

Use it when

  • ✓ writing a new PRD or one-pager
  • ✓ reviewing a spec draft
  • ✓ defining success metrics for a project

Skip it when

  • – you need a technical design doc
  • – the work is already fully specified
