Create PRD: Generate Product Requirements Document

Overview

Generate a comprehensive Product Requirements Document (PRD) based on conversation context. This PRD will serve as the single source of truth for project-specific requirements.

Important: The PRD is the ONLY project-specific file. All other Agent Kit files are reusable.

Output File

Write the PRD to: .claude/PRD.md

If a PRD already exists, ask before overwriting.

Before Starting

1. Gather Project Context

Ask the user for (if not already discussed):

• Project Name: What is this project called?
• Client/Domain: Who is this for? What industry?
• Core Problem: What problem are we solving?
• Target Users: Who will use this?
• MVP Scope: What's the minimum viable product?

2. Reference Agent Kit Standards

Read these files to ensure PRD aligns with our standards:

• CLAUDE.md - Tech stack and code standards
• .claude/reference/architecture.md - Architecture patterns
• .claude/reference/design-system.md - UI/UX standards
• .claude/reference/mastra-best-practices.md - AI agent patterns

PRD Structure

Create a well-structured PRD with the following sections:

---

# [Project Name] - Product Requirements Document

## Instructions

### 1. Extract Requirements

- Review the entire conversation history
- Identify explicit requirements and implicit needs
- Note technical constraints and preferences
- Capture user goals and success criteria

### 2. Synthesize Information

- Organize requirements into appropriate sections
- Fill in reasonable assumptions where details are missing
- Maintain consistency across sections
- Ensure alignment with Agent Kit standards

### 3. Write the PRD

- Use clear, professional language
- Include concrete examples
- Use markdown formatting (headings, lists, code blocks, checkboxes)
- Keep Executive Summary concise but comprehensive

### 4. Quality Checks

- All required sections present
- User stories have clear benefits
- MVP scope is realistic
- Aligns with Agent Kit tech stack (CLAUDE.md)
- Implementation phases are actionable
- Success criteria are measurable

## After Creating PRD

### 1. Update PROJECT-STATUS.md

```markdown
## Project Info
- **Project:** [Name]
- **PRD:** Created [date]
- **Phase:** Planning

2. Output Confirmation

Provide:

1. Confirm the PRD was written to .claude/PRD.md
2. Brief summary of contents
3. Assumptions made (if any)
4. Suggested next steps

3. Next Steps

Recommend:

1. Review the PRD and refine if needed
2. Run /prime to load project context
3. Start planning with /plan-feature [first-feature]

Notes

• If critical information is missing, ask clarifying questions BEFORE generating
• The PRD should be project-specific; technical standards come from CLAUDE.md
• For AI agent projects, emphasize the Agent Specification section
• For CRUD apps, emphasize Feature Specification and API sections
