Overview

This skill orchestrates a complete PRD creation workflow that guides you from an initial idea to an implementation-ready specification. It combines ideation, scoping, requirements generation, validation, design handoff, and implementation planning into a repeatable process. The workflow uses integrated templates, checklists, and role-specific outputs to deliver a production-ready PRD package.

How this skill works

The skill assesses your input for clarity, complexity, scope, and stakeholders, then selects an appropriate starting phase (Exploration, Project Foundation, Requirements, Validation, Design, Implementation). It runs structured tools and templates—brainstorm sessions, BMAD PRD templates, SpeckKit feature specs, and OpenSpec change proposals—then validates requirements with automated checks and expert review. Finally, it generates deliverables and role-specific prompts for PMs, designers, architects, and developers.

When to use it

• Launching a new product or major feature
• Specifying complex features with multiple stakeholders
• Redesigning systems or architecture
• Creating testable, traceable requirements for engineering
• Preparing handoff artifacts for design and development

Best practices

• Start the workflow early during concept formation to reduce rework
• Use the quality validation phase to catch ambiguity and enforce testability
• Customize BMAD templates to reflect your organization’s standards
• Produce role-specific prompts and checklists for clear handoffs
• Iterate: run progressive validations after each major revision

Example use cases

• New product: full PRD for a task management app including market analysis and implementation roadmap
• Single feature: rapid SpeckKit specification and validation for user authentication
• System redesign: OpenSpec change proposals and strict validation for microservices restructuring
• Team handoff: generate UX brief, architect constraints, and dev implementation workflow from a validated PRD
• Risk mitigation: run multi-expert business panels for high-impact changes
