Can I use this on existing codebases?

Yes, you can initiate the workflow by pointing it to a specific file path or directory to plan features or refactors within your existing context.

What files does the skill generate?

It produces a comprehensive specification (spec.md) and a structured list of tasks (prd.json) within a dedicated plans directory.

What does the PRD Workflow skill do?

It guides you through a structured process to turn vague feature ideas into detailed technical specifications and small, implementable tasks called atomic stories.

How many questions will the interview phase ask?

The skill typically asks 8-15 questions across multiple waves to ensure it covers the core problem, success criteria, technical constraints, and edge cases.

What defines an 'atomic story' in this workflow?

An atomic story is a task that takes 15-30 minutes, touches 3 or fewer files, has no more than 7 verification steps, and is independently testable.

Productivity & Workflow

Streamlines the transition from vague feature ideas to implementable technical specifications through structured AI-led interviews and background research.

The PRD Workflow skill acts as an automated product manager and architect within Claude Code, guiding developers through a rigorous six-phase process to define feature requirements. It employs a thorough interview philosophy to uncover non-obvious edge cases and technical constraints, utilizes background agents for codebase research, and generates atomic, testable stories ready for implementation. By enforcing strict story atomization rules—such as limiting file changes and verification steps—this skill ensures that complex features are broken down into manageable, 15-30 minute tasks, significantly reducing technical debt and scope creep.
