PRD Writer

Goal

Create a detailed Product Requirements Document (PRD) in Markdown from an initial feature prompt, suitable for a junior developer.

Process

1. Receive initial prompt from user.
2. Ask clarifying questions before writing. Provide options in letter/number lists for easy replies.
3. Generate the PRD using the structure below.
4. Save as [n]-prd-[feature-name].md under /tasks/ where n is zero‑padded (e.g., 0001-prd-user-authentication.md).

Clarifying questions (guide)

• Problem/Goal: What problem does this solve? What is the main goal?
• Target User: Who is the primary user?
• Core Functionality: Key actions the user must perform?

• Acceptance Criteria: How do we know it’s done/successful?
• Scope/Boundaries: Any explicit non-goals?

• Design/UI: Any mockups/guidelines? Desired look/feel?
• Edge Cases: Potential edge cases and error conditions?
