When the user needs to define a product feature, write a product requirements document, or translate an idea into a structured spec.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# PRD Writing

## When to Use
Activate when a founder or PM needs to turn a product idea, feature request, or strategic initiative into a structured Product Requirements Document. This includes situations where the user says things like "write a PRD," "spec out this feature," "define requirements for X," or "I need to document what we're building."

## Context Required
- **From startup-context:** company stage, target customer segments, current product state, team size, technical constraints.
- **From the user:** the feature or initiative to spec, known user problems it addresses, any prior research or customer feedback, desired timeline, and scope preference (lightweight vs. full PRD).

## Workflow
1. **Clarify scope level** -- Ask whether this needs a lightweight PRD (early-stage exploration, 2-3 pages) or a full PRD (committed initiative, 5-8 pages). Default to lightweight if the company is pre-product-market-fit.
2. **Gather inputs** -- Collect the problem statement, target users, any existing research, success criteria, and known constraints. Identify key contacts and their roles.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add maudeunfledged834/startup-founder-skills/prd-writing@sha256:8fbf54160c1ca597

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260403.b0c6483, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
