Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/fradser/dotclaude --skill create-prd- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads create-prd automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
PRD Creation
Follow the phases below to transform product ideas into a complete PRD document. All PRD content is written in Chinese (the target audience is Chinese-speaking teams).
Output Mode
Determine output mode from $ARGUMENTS:
| Argument | Mode | Output |
|---|---|---|
--md (default) | Local Markdown | Save as .md file to project directory |
--lark | Feishu Cloud Doc | Create via lark-cli using Lark rich-text features |
--lark mode accepts optional location arguments (mutually exclusive), supporting token or Feishu URL:
--folder-token— Target folder (token or URL)--wiki-node— Target wiki node (token or URL)--wiki-space— Target wiki space root (ID or URL, ormy_library)
Pass URL directly to lark-cli — no manual token extraction needed. Defaults to user's personal space root when no location specified.
Phase 0: Import Context
Check for existing design or requirements documents:
- Search for
docs/,prd/directories or user-specified files - If found, extract key information (problem statement, target users, core features) as pre-filled content
- If nothing found, skip this phase
Phase 1: Determine PRD Type
Ask the user which PRD type they need:
- Full (recommended): All standard sections, suitable for complex features
- Brief: Core sections only, suitable for small features or quick iteration
- One-pager: Single-page summary, suitable for concept validation and executive reporting
Phase 2: Gather Information
Follow the interview questions in references/prd-interview-questions.md, one question at a time. Wait for the answer before continuing.
- Basic info (7 items): required for all types
- Full version extras (5 items): full type only
- AI Agent boundaries: needed when the PRD will be consumed by AI coding agents
If Phase 0 found pre-filled content, show it to the user for confirmation and skip covered questions.
Phase 3: Generate PRD Document
-
Select template:
- Full:
references/prd-template-full.md - Brief:
references/prd-template-brief.md - One-pager:
references/prd-template-onepager.md
- Full:
-
Fill content: Use gathered information for each section, following
references/prd-best-practices.mdwriting principles -
AI Agent consumability:
- Write each requirement as a discrete, verifiable item (lists over long paragraphs)
- Express non-goals as positive constraints
- Split P0 features into 5-15 minute agent work stages with testable checkpoints
- Full version includes a three-layer boundary framework: autonomous / needs confirmation / prohibited
-
Quality requirements:
- Problem statement backed by specific data or research
- Goals follow SMART principles
- Success metrics are quantifiable
- Avoid vague terms ("approximately", "maybe", "try to")
- Use active voice and concrete verbs
-
Format:
--mdmode: Standard Markdown with clear heading hierarchy--larkmode: Lark-flavored Markdown (see Feishu enhancements section)
Phase 4: Validate and Save
Run validation per references/prd-validation-checklist.md — completeness, SMART goals, content quality, BDD acceptance criteria.
--md Mode
Save file after validation:
- Filename:
PRD-[ProductName]-[YYYYMMDD].md - Prefer
docs/orprd/directory, otherwise current working directory - Report path and file summary
--lark Mode
Create Feishu document after validation:
- CRITICAL — Confirm standalone
larkplugin (lark@frad-dotclaude) is installed; follow itslark-sharedskill for authentication - Follow the lark plugin's
lark-docskill for document creation guidance - Refer to
lark-doc-create.mdfor fulldocs +createparameters and Lark-flavored Markdown syntax - Convert PRD content to Lark-flavored Markdown (see Feishu enhancements section)
- Create document:
lark-cli docs +create --title "PRD-[ProductName]-[YYYYMMDD]" \ [--folder-token TOKEN_OR_URL | --wiki-node TOKEN_OR_URL | --wiki-space ID_OR_URL] \ --markdown "<lark-flavored-markdown>" - For longer PRDs, split:
docs +createfor first half, thendocs +update --mode appendfor remaining sections - If
board_tokensare present:- Follow the lark plugin's
lark-whiteboardskill - Fill each whiteboard with actual content (flowcharts, architecture diagrams)
- All whiteboards must have real content before task is complete
- Follow the lark plugin's
- Report the document URL
Phase 5: Next Steps
After saving, suggest follow-up options:
- Convert PRD into implementation tickets
- Refine design decisions in open questions
- Share with team for review and feedback
Feishu Document Enhancements
CRITICAL — In --lark mode, use Lark-flavored Markdown syntax to leverage Feishu's rich-text capabilities.
Required Feishu Features by PRD Section
| PRD Section | Feishu Feature | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Project metadata (version/date/owner) | <lark-table> | Enhanced table with header row |
| Key risks/assumptions/dependencies | <callout> | Color-coded: risk=red, assumption=blue, dependency=yellow |
| Core goals / success metrics | <callout emoji="..." background-color="light-green"> | Highlight key OKRs |
| Priority comparison (P0/P1/P2) | <grid cols="3"> | Three-column side-by-side layout |
| User journey / business process | <whiteboard type="blank"> | Flowchart, filled via lark-whiteboard |
| System architecture | <whiteboard type="blank"> | Architecture diagram, filled via lark-whiteboard |
| Milestones / timeline | <whiteboard type="blank"> | Timeline chart |
| Non-goals / scope exclusions | <callout emoji="..." background-color="light-red"> | Red highlight for prohibited scope |
| Glossary / abbreviations | Two-column Markdown table | Compact reference |
| Decision records | <callout> + blockquote | Key decisions with rationale |
Whiteboard Rules
Insert whiteboards for: user journeys, system architecture, data flows, milestones, team organization. Skip for pure text, data-heavy content (use tables), or when user requests text-only.
Format Principles
- Max 4 heading levels
- Use
---dividers between sections - Do NOT write a top-level heading duplicating the title (Feishu auto-generates it)
- Use callouts sparingly; bold only core terms
- Use
<text color="red">for key metrics or status - Feishu auto-generates table of contents — do not add manually
Quality Principles
- Data-driven: Support problem statements with specific data and user research
- SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound
- Concise and clear: Avoid verbosity; descriptions must be clear enough for dev teams to implement directly
- Collaboration-oriented: PRD is a collaboration tool; tone promotes discussion, not command
- Dual-audience design: Serve both human teams and AI coding agents
