create-prd

Create a lean, decision-ready Product Requirements Document with an 8-section template: summary, contacts, background, objective, market segments, value propositions (6-part JTBD template), solution, and release. Lean by default (about one to two pages), with a fuller spec on request. Use when writing a PRD, documenting product requirements, preparing a feature spec, or reviewing an existing PRD.

Quality

Content

75%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-crafted instruction skill: it gives an unambiguous, correctly-ordered workflow with genuine decision checkpoints, concrete per-section guidance, and a discipline against padding that it also practices itself. The main improvement levers are removing the redundant Notes section, adding a short worked example of a 6-part value proposition, and closing the loop by verifying the finished PRD against the review checklist.

Suggestions

Cut or merge the Notes section: 'Lean is the default; detail is on request' and 'Flag assumptions clearly' restate the Lean-by-default section and step 7.4, trimming ~4 redundant lines.

Add a one-paragraph worked example of a completed 6-part value proposition (Who through Alternatives plus the closing statement) so the template's format is unambiguous on first use.

Add a final instruction step to re-check the finished PRD against the 'Reviewing an existing PRD' checklist (segments present, value propositions per segment, Solution delivers the How, Key Results measure the What after) before presenting it.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body teaches only what Claude would not already know — the specific template, lean-by-default philosophy, and question-asking protocol — using terms like "SMART OKR format" and "6-part JTBD template" without tutorials. It is not a 5 because the Notes section restates earlier points ("Lean is the default; detail is on request" and "Flag assumptions clearly" duplicate the Lean-by-default and 7.4 guidance).

4 / 5

Actionability

Guidance is concrete and executable for a document-writing skill: a numbered interaction protocol ("up to three short questions in one message"), a named 6-part value proposition template with per-part definitions, per-section question checklists, and a specific output filename (`PRD-[product-name].md`). It falls short of fully copy-paste-ready because there is no worked example PRD or sample value proposition statement to anchor the format.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The 7-step instruction sequence (gather input → ask clarifying questions → research → think → write → save → report omissions) is clearly ordered with real checkpoints ("stop and ask about them first... no PRD in that reply"; "If they don't line up, fix that before anything else") and a review checklist section. It is not a 5 because there is no final step verifying the written PRD against the review checklist before presenting it.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The single-file body is well organized with clear headers (Purpose, Lean by default, Instructions, Reviewing, Notes) and no nested references; all content is appropriately inline for a template skill of ~95 lines. It is not a 5 because it exceeds the simple-skill threshold and its external pointers (the optional value-proposition plugin skill, Further Reading links) are soft mentions rather than a clearly signaled reference structure.

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description: it states precisely what the skill produces (a lean 8-section PRD with a 6-part JTBD value proposition template), includes an explicit 'Use when...' trigger clause, and stays in third person without padding. The only gap is a few missing natural synonyms (e.g., 'requirements doc', 'product brief') in the trigger list.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description enumerates multiple concrete actions comprehensively: creating a PRD with a fully named 8-section template ("summary, contacts, background, objective, market segments, value propositions (6-part JTBD template), solution, and release"), plus "reviewing an existing PRD" and offering "a fuller spec on request". It matches the comprehensive-coverage anchor; there is no meaningful capability left unstated for this domain.

5 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both questions: the "what" is concrete ("Create a lean, decision-ready Product Requirements Document with an 8-section template...") and the "when" is an explicit "Use when..." clause with concrete trigger phrases. Both are stated as clearly as the 5-anchor example.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

"Use when writing a PRD, documenting product requirements, preparing a feature spec, or reviewing an existing PRD" covers good natural terms users would say. It misses common synonyms such as "requirements doc", "product spec", or "product brief", so it falls just short of the comprehensive-synonyms anchor.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It occupies a clear niche (PRD writing) with distinct triggers (PRD, product requirements, feature spec) unlikely to fire for unrelated skills. Third-person voice is used consistently, and specificity of the template enumeration further separates it from generic document-writing skills.
