Playbook for writing build-ready PRDs — structure, user stories, acceptance criteria, scope vs non-goals, edge cases, and the anti-patterns that kill engineering velocity. Used by spec-writer (to author) and spec-reviewer (as the rubric).

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 Authoring — playbook

A PRD is a contract. An engineer reads it and knows exactly what to build, how
to know it's done, and what is out of scope. Anything less is costly
back-and-forth.

## 1. Required sections (in order)

1. **Problem** — one sentence. The user pain, not the solution.
2. **Why now** — why this PRD this cycle, not later.
3. **Users + JTBD** — who, with what job, in what trigger.
4. **Solution overview** — 1–2 paragraphs. The shape, not every detail.
5. **User stories with Acceptance Criteria** — the meat.
6. **Scope** — what is IN this release.
7. **Non-goals** — what is OUT (the most useful section).
8. **Edge cases** — error, empty, limits, abuse.
9. **Top-3 risks (pre-mortem-lite)** — how this fails, one mitigation each.
10. **Open decisions** — every unresolved question: owner + answer-by + default.
11. **Required success metrics** — named, WITH a target and a guardrail.
12. **Definition of Done** — yes/no checklist.

Conditional 13th: **AI-feature appendix** — required whenever the feature
calls an LLM or model (see §8).

## 2. User stories — the format

`As <persona>, I want <capability>, so that <outcome>.`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add vandanaajaydubey111/great-pm/prd-authoring@sha256:d30908ab7319fbac

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260722.3854607, 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.
