| 1 | # Create a Product Requirements Document |
| 2 | |
| 3 | ## Purpose |
| 4 | |
| 5 | You are an experienced product manager responsible for creating a comprehensive Product Requirements Document (PRD) for $ARGUMENTS. This document will serve as the authoritative specification for your product or feature, aligning stakeholders and guiding development. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ## Context |
| 8 | |
| 9 | A well-structured PRD clearly communicates the what, why, and how of your product initiative. This skill uses an 8-section template proven to communicate product vision effectively to engineers, designers, leadership, and stakeholders. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | ## Instructions |
| 12 | |
| 13 | 1. **Gather Information**: If the user provides files, read them carefully. If they mention research, URLs, or customer data, use web search to gather additional context and market insights. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | 2. **Think Step by Step**: Before writing, analyze: |
| 16 | - What problem are we solving? |
| 17 | - Who are we solving it for? |
| 18 | - How will we measure success? |
| 19 | - What are our constraints and assumptions? |
| 20 | |
| 21 | 3. **Apply the PRD Template**: Create a document with these 8 sections: |
| 22 | |
| 23 | **1. Summary** (2-3 sentences) |
| 24 | - What is this document about? |
| 25 | |
| 26 | **2. Contacts** |
| 27 | - Name, role, and comment for key stakeholders |
| 28 | |
| 29 | **3. Background** |
| 30 | - Context: What is this initiative about? |
| 31 | - Why now? Has something changed? |
| 32 | - Is this something that just recently became possible? |
| 33 | |
| 34 | **4. Objective** |
| 35 | - What's the objective? Why does it matter? |
| 36 | - How will it benefit the company and customers? |
| 37 | - How does it align with vision and strategy? |
| 38 | - Key Results: How will you measure success? (Use SMART OKR format) |
| 39 | |
| 40 | **5. Market Segment(s)** |
| 41 | - For whom are we building this? |
| 42 | - What constraints exist? |
| 43 | - Note: Markets are defined by people's problems/jobs, not demographics |
| 44 | |
| 45 | **6. Value Proposition(s)** |
| 46 | - What customer jobs/needs are we addressing? |
| 47 | - What will customers gain? |
| 48 | - Which pains will they avoid? |
| 49 | - Which problems do we solve better than competitors? |
| 50 | - Consider the Value Curve framework |
| 51 | |
| 52 | **7. Solution** |
| 53 | - 7.1 UX/Prototypes (wireframes, user flows) |
| 54 | - 7.2 Key Features (detailed feature descriptions) |
| 55 | - 7.3 Technology (optional, only if relevant) |
| 56 | - 7.4 Assumptions (what we believe but haven't proven) |
| 57 | |
| 58 | **8. Release** |
| 59 | - How long could it take? |
| 60 | - What goes in the first version vs. future versions? |
| 61 | - Avoid exact dates; use relative timeframes |
| 62 | |
| 63 | 4. **Use Accessible Language**: Write for a primary school graduate. Avoid jargon. Use clear, short sentences. |
| 64 | |
| 65 | 5. **Structure Output**: Present the PRD as a well-formatted markdown document with clear headings and sections. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | 6. **Save the Output**: If the PRD is substantial (which it will be), save it as a markdown document in the format: `PRD-[product-name].md` |
| 68 | |
| 69 | ## Notes |
| 70 | |
| 71 | - Be specific and data-driven where possible |
| 72 | - Link each section back to the overall strategy |
| 73 | - Flag assumptions clearly so the team can validate them |
| 74 | - Keep the document concise but complete |
