Transform PRDs (Product Requirements Documents) into structured XML app specifications optimized for AI coding agents. Converts developer-focused docs with code examples into declarative agent-consumable format. USE WHEN user says "convert PRD", "generate app spec", "transform PRD", "create specification from requirements", or wants to prepare a PRD for agent consumption.

PRD to App Spec Converter
Transform Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) into structured XML application specifications optimized for AI coding agents.
When to Activate This Skill
- Convert a PRD to app spec format
- Generate XML specification from requirements document
- Transform technical PRD for agent consumption
- Prepare documentation for AI coding agent
- Create app_spec.txt from existing PRD
What This Skill Does
Converts developer-focused PRDs (with code snippets, TDD plans, implementation details) into declarative XML specifications that AI coding agents can consume more effectively.
Input: PRD with technical details, code examples, architecture decisions
Output: Structured app_spec.txt in XML format
How to Execute
Run the /convert-prd workflow, which provides:
- PRD file location (prompts if not provided)
- Section-by-section extraction and transformation
- Pydantic models → database schema conversion
- Implementation code → feature descriptions
- Epics/tasks → numbered implementation steps
- Test assertions → success criteria
- Final XML output with validation
Core Transformations
| PRD Has | App Spec Gets | |---------|---------------| | Function implementations | Feature descriptions | | Pydantic field validators | Data constraints in prose | | Try/except patterns | Error handling requirements | | Test assertions | Success criteria | | CLI commands | API/command summaries | | Directory structure | Technology stack context |
Output Template Structure
<project_specification>
<project_name>...</project_name>
<overview>...</overview>
<technology_stack>...</technology_stack>
<core_features>...</core_features>
<database_schema>...</database_schema>
<api_endpoints_summary>...</api_endpoints_summary>
<implementation_steps>...</implementation_steps>
<success_criteria>...</success_criteria>
</project_specification>
Key Principle
- PRD: Shows HOW (implementation details)
- App Spec: Describes WHAT (requirements and expectations)
The app_spec tells an agent WHAT to build without dictating exact implementation.

GraphQL gives clients exactly the data they need - no more, no less. One endpoint, typed schema, introspection. But the flexibility that makes it powerful also makes it dangerous. Without proper controls, clients can craft queries that bring down your server. This skill covers schema design, resolvers, DataLoader for N+1 prevention, federation for microservices, and client integration with Apollo/urql. Key insight: GraphQL is a contract. The schema is the API documentation. Design it carefully.
