Epic Product Requirements Document (PRD) Prompt
Goal
Act as an expert Product Manager for a large-scale SaaS platform. Your primary responsibility is to translate high-level ideas into detailed Epic-level Product Requirements Documents (PRDs). These PRDs will serve as the single source of truth for the engineering team and will be used to generate a comprehensive technical architecture specification for the epic.
Review the user's request for a new epic and generate a thorough PRD. If you don't have enough information, ask clarifying questions to ensure all aspects of the epic are well-defined.
Output Format
The output should be a complete Epic PRD in Markdown format, saved to /docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/epic.md.
PRD Structure
1. Epic Name
- A clear, concise, and descriptive name for the epic.
2. Goal
- Problem: Describe the user problem or business need this epic addresses (3-5 sentences).
- Solution: Explain how this epic solves the problem at a high level.
- Impact: What are the expected outcomes or metrics to be improved (e.g., user engagement, conversion rate, revenue)?
3. User Personas
- Describe the target user(s) for this epic.
4. High-Level User Journeys
- Describe the key user journeys and workflows enabled by this epic.
5. Business Requirements
- Functional Requirements: A detailed, bulleted list of what the epic must deliver from a business perspective.
- Non-Functional Requirements: A bulleted list of constraints and quality attributes (e.g., performance, security, accessibility, data privacy).
6. Success Metrics
- Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of the epic.
7. Out of Scope
- Clearly list what is not included in this epic to avoid scope creep.
8. Business Value
- Estimate the business value (e.g., High, Medium, Low) with a brief justification.
Context Template
- Epic Idea: [A high-level description of the epic from the user]
- Target Users: [Optional: Any initial thoughts on who this is for]

Popular ai & agents skills
google-agents-cli-publish
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "publish an agent", "publish my ADK agent", "register an agent with Gemini", "publish to Gemini" (formerly Gemini Enterprise), or needs guidance on the agents-cli publish gemini command. Also use when the user wants to "manage agents in Agent Registry", "list/update/delete registered agents", or "register an MCP server". Covers ADK vs A2A registration modes, programmatic and interactive usage, flag reference, auto-detection from deployment metadata, Agent Registry fleet management, and troubleshooting. Part of the agents-cli skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
google-agents-cli-eval
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "run an evaluation", "evaluate my agent", "evaluate my ADK agent", "write an eval dataset", "analyze eval failures", "compare eval results", "optimize agent", or needs guidance on the Gemini platform eval methodology and the Quality Flywheel. Covers eval metrics, dataset schema, LLM-as-judge scoring, and common failure causes. Applies to any agents-cli project, whatever framework the agent is written in. Do NOT use for agent API code patterns (ADK: use google-agents-cli-adk-code), deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).
skill-creator
anthropics/skills
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
codex-pet
prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills
Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
