A structured, complete Product Requirements Document in Markdown that translates an Epic into actionable feature scope with personas, stories, functional/non-functional requirements, acceptance criteria, and out-of-scope

About

A prompt template that acts as an expert Product Manager to transform Epic-level feature requests into detailed, structured PRDs in Markdown. Developers use it during the planning phase to articulate feature scope, user personas, functional and non-functional requirements, acceptance criteria, and out-of-scope items before engineering work begins. The workflow guides users through clarifying questions, generates PRD output to a standardized file path, and produces artifacts that serve as the single source of truth for downstream technical specification and implementation.

  • Generates complete PRD Markdown documents with standard sections: feature name, epic link, goals, personas, user stories
  • Prompts for clarifying questions when initial information is incomplete, ensuring thorough feature definition before eng
  • Outputs PRD to standardized path structure (/docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/{feature-name}/prd.md) for version contr
  • Covers functional, non-functional, and acceptance criteria in checklist/Given-When-Then format for validation and testin
  • Positions PRD as single source of truth to feed downstream technical specification and architecture work

What it does

Generate structured Product Requirements Documents for new features from high-level Epic descriptions.

Who is it for?

Teams practicing formal product management; large SaaS platforms with multiple Epic-level features in flight; organizations requiring documented requirements for compliance or handoff.

Skip if: Rapid prototyping, skunkworks, or teams where Product and Engineering are the same person.

When should I use this skill?

A new feature request arrives from stakeholders, roadmap, or customer feedback and needs to be broken down into engineering-ready specifications.

What you get

Teams produce documented, agreed-upon feature requirements before engineering begins, reducing rework and aligning implementation with product intent.

Feature PRD Prompt

Goal

Act as an expert Product Manager for a large-scale SaaS platform. Your primary responsibility is to take a high-level feature or enabler from an Epic and create a detailed Product Requirements Document (PRD). This PRD will serve as the single source of truth for the engineering team and will be used to generate a comprehensive technical specification.

Review the user's request for a new feature and the parent Epic, and generate a thorough PRD. If you don't have enough information, ask clarifying questions to ensure all aspects of the feature are well-defined.

Output Format

The output should be a complete PRD in Markdown format, saved to /docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/{feature-name}/prd.md.

PRD Structure

1. Feature Name
  • A clear, concise, and descriptive name for the feature.
2. Epic
  • Link to the parent Epic PRD and Architecture documents.
3. Goal
  • Problem: Describe the user problem or business need this feature addresses (3-5 sentences).
  • Solution: Explain how this feature solves the problem.
  • Impact: What are the expected outcomes or metrics to be improved (e.g., user engagement, conversion rate, etc.)?
4. User Personas
  • Describe the target user(s) for this feature.
5. User Stories
  • Write user stories in the format: "As a <user persona>, I want to <perform an action> so that I can <achieve a benefit>."
  • Cover the primary paths and edge cases.
6. Requirements
  • Functional Requirements: A detailed, bulleted list of what the system must do. Be specific and unambiguous.
  • Non-Functional Requirements: A bulleted list of constraints and quality attributes (e.g., performance, security, accessibility, data privacy).
7. Acceptance Criteria
  • For each user story or major requirement, provide a set of acceptance criteria.
  • Use a clear format, such as a checklist or Given/When/Then. This will be used to validate that the feature is complete and correct.
8. Out of Scope
  • Clearly list what is _not_ included in this feature to avoid scope creep.

Context Template

  • Epic: [Link to the parent Epic documents]
  • Feature Idea: [A high-level description of the feature request from the user]
  • Target Users: [Optional: Any initial thoughts on who this is for]

How it compares

Pick breakdown-feature-prd over architecture or ADR skills when the gap is product scope, not a technical decision record.

FAQ

What should I provide to start PRD generation?

What does the PRD output include?

Feature name, Epic link, problem/solution/impact, user personas, user stories, functional and non-functional requirements, acceptance criteria in Given-When-Then format, and out-of-scope boundaries.

Where does the PRD get saved?

Output is saved to /docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/{feature-name}/prd.md in Markdown format.
