Write a Product Requirements Document (PRD). Use when the user says "write a PRD", "document this feature", "product requirements for X", "write requirements", "I need a PRD", "pitch this feature", or wants to formalize a feature or product idea into a structured doc - even if they don't explicitly say "PRD".

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

## Overview

Based on **Shape Up** by Ryan Singer (Basecamp). A PRD defines the problem, the appetite, and the solution boundaries - not a detailed spec. The key insight from Shape Up: fix the time, flex the scope. Define how much the team is willing to spend before deciding what to build.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Set the Appetite
Before writing requirements, define the appetite - how much time is this worth?
- **Small batch:** 1-2 weeks
- **Big batch:** 4-6 weeks

If the solution requires more time than the appetite allows, cut the scope - don't extend the time.

### Step 2: Write the Problem Statement
One paragraph. Answer: what is broken or missing today, who is affected, and what is the cost of not solving it. Avoid mentioning solutions here.

### Step 3: Write the Pitch (Shape Up format)
Structure:
```
# PRD: [Feature Name]
**Appetite:** [Small batch / Big batch]
**Status:** Draft
**Author:** [your name]

## Problem
[What's broken, who's affected, cost of inaction]

## Solution
[Fat marker sketch - broad strokes, not pixel-perfect]

## Rabbit Holes
[Specific technical or design traps to avoid]

## No-Gos
[Explicitly what this does NOT include]
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/write-prd@sha256:e1c82abb03885355

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260303.19bc151, 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.
