Generates professional Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) following industry-standard methodologies. This skill activates when the user asks to write PRD, create a product requirements document, draft product requirements, do product planning, do feature planning, write a product spec, or create a product document. It synthesizes best practices from the Google PRD framework, the Amazon Working Backwards methodology, and the Stripe Product Spec approach to produce comprehensive, actionable…

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 Generation Skill

## What Is a PRD?

A Product Requirements Document (PRD) is the central artifact that bridges product strategy and engineering execution. It captures the why, what, and how of a product initiative so that every stakeholder -- from designers and engineers to leadership and QA -- operates from a single source of truth. A well-written PRD reduces ambiguity, prevents scope creep, and provides a measurable framework against which the team can evaluate success.

Within the product development lifecycle a PRD typically sits between the discovery phase (where problems are identified and validated) and the design/engineering phase (where solutions are built). It is not a static document; it evolves through drafts, reviews, and revisions as the team's understanding deepens. This skill treats the PRD as a living document and structures it accordingly.

## Five-Step Workflow

Every PRD generated by this skill follows a disciplined five-step process. Each step must be completed before moving to the next.

### Step 1 -- Understand Context

Before writing a single line, scan the project to build situational awareness.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tercel/spec-forge/prd-generation@sha256:f840b4e227430515

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.268f496, 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.
