What this skill does

# Create a Product Requirements Document

## Purpose

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.

## Context

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.

## Instructions

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.

2. **Think Step by Step**: Before writing, analyze:
- What problem are we solving?
- Who are we solving it for?
- How will we measure success?
- What are our constraints and assumptions?

3. **Apply the PRD Template**: Create a document with these 8 sections:

**1. Summary** (2-3 sentences)
- What is this document about?

**2. Contacts**
- Name, role, and comment for key stakeholders

**3. Background**
- Context: What is this initiative about?
- Why now? Has something changed?
- Is this something that just recently became possible?

**4. Objective**
- What's the objective? Why does it matter?
- How will it benefit the company and customers?
- How does it align with vision and strategy?
- Key Results: How will you measure success? (Use SMART OKR format)

**5. Market Segment(s)**
- For whom are we building this?
- What constraints exist?
- Note: Markets are defined by people's problems/jobs, not demographics

**6. Value Proposition(s)**
- What customer jobs/needs are we addressing?
- What will customers gain?
- Which pains will they avoid?
- Which problems do we solve better than competitors?
- Consider the Value Curve framework

**7. Solution**
- 7.1 UX/Prototypes (wireframes, user flows)
- 7.2 Key Features (detailed feature descriptions)
- 7.3 Technology (optional, only if relevant)
- 7.4 Assumptions (what we believe but haven't proven)

**8. Release**
- How long could it take?
- What goes in the first version vs. future versions?
- Avoid exact dates; use relative timeframes

4. **Use Accessible Language**: Write for a primary school graduate. Avoid jargon. Use clear, short sentences.

5. **Structure Output**: Present the PRD as a well-formatted markdown document with clear headings and sections.

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`

## Notes

- Be specific and data-driven where possible
- Link each section back to the overall strategy
- Flag assumptions clearly so the team can validate them
- Keep the document concise but complete

jax-development

Included

Use this skill when the user is writing, debugging, profiling, refactoring, reviewing, benchmarking, parallelising, exporting, or explaining JAX code, or when they mention JAX, jax.numpy, jit, grad, value_and_grad, vmap, scan, lax, random keys, pytrees, jax.Array, sharding, Mesh, PartitionSpec, NamedSharding, pmap, shard_map, Pallas, XLA, StableHLO, checkify, profiler, or the JAX repo. It helps turn NumPy or PyTorch-style code into pure functional JAX, fix tracer/control-flow/shape/PRNG bugs, remove recompiles and host-device syncs, choose transforms and sharding strategies, inspect jaxpr/lowering/IR, and benchmark compiled code correctly.

Writing & Docsscripts

nature-article-writer

Included

Drafts, rewrites, diagnostically critiques, and style-calibrates primary research manuscripts for Nature and Nature Portfolio journals. Use when the user wants a Nature-style title, summary paragraph or abstract, introduction, results, discussion, methods, figure legends, presubmission enquiry, cover letter, reviewer response, or when a scientific draft sounds generic, jargon-heavy, structurally weak, or AI-ish and needs precise, broad-reader-friendly prose without inventing data, analyses, or references. Best for primary research articles and letters rather than reviews or press releases unless explicitly adapting one.

Writing & Docsscripts

deckrd

Included

Document-driven framework that derives requirements, specifications, implementation plans, and executable tasks from goals through structured AI dialogue. Use when user says "write requirements", "create spec", "plan implementation", "derive tasks", "structure this feature", "break down into tasks", or "document this module". Also use for reverse engineering existing code into docs (/deckrd rev). Do NOT use for direct code writing — use /deckrd-coder after tasks are generated. Do NOT use when the user only wants to run or fix existing code without planning.

Writing & Docsscripts

clinical-decision-support

Included

Generate professional clinical decision support (CDS) documents for pharmaceutical and clinical research settings, including patient cohort analyses (biomarker-stratified with outcomes) and treatment recommendation reports (evidence-based guidelines with decision algorithms). Supports GRADE evidence grading, statistical analysis (hazard ratios, survival curves, waterfall plots), biomarker integration, and regulatory compliance. Outputs publication-ready LaTeX/PDF format optimized for drug development, clinical research, and evidence synthesis.

Writing & Docsscripts

handling-sf-data

Included

Salesforce data operations with 130-point scoring. Use this skill to create, update, delete, bulk import/export, generate test data, and clean up org records using sf CLI and anonymous Apex. TRIGGER when: user creates test data, performs bulk import/export, uses sf data CLI commands, needs data factory patterns for Apex tests, or needs to seed/clean records in a Salesforce org. DO NOT TRIGGER when: SOQL query writing only (use querying-soql), Apex test execution (use running-apex-tests), or metadata deployment (use deploying-metadata).

Writing & Docsscripts

accelint-ac-to-playwright

Included

Convert and validate acceptance criteria for Playwright test automation. Use when user asks to (1) review/evaluate/check if AC are ready for automation, (2) assess if AC can be converted as-is, (3) validate AC quality for Playwright, (4) turn AC into tests, (5) generate tests from acceptance criteria, (6) convert .md bullets or .feature Gherkin files to Playwright specs, (7) create test automation from requirements. Handles both bullet-style markdown and Gherkin syntax with JSON test plan generation and validation.
