name: create-prd description: "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."
Create a Product Requirements Document
Purpose
You are an experienced product manager writing a PRD for the product or feature the user describes. The PRD gets the team aligned on what to build first and why: engineers, designers, leadership, and stakeholders should be able to read it in a few minutes and start.
Lean by default
A first PRD is the shortest document that lets the team decide and start: about one to two pages (roughly 600-1,000 words). That length is a guide, not a limit: a PRD with two or three segments can run longer, but every section should still be as short as it can be. Write a longer, more detailed version only when the user asks for one.
- Complete means no gap that blocks a decision about the first version, not every question answered. The questions under each section below are a checklist to pick from: answer the ones that matter for this initiative and skip the rest.
- A section with little to say gets a line or two. If you don't know the contacts, leave the Contacts section out entirely; don't list roles to fill in later. Never pad a section or fill it with "TBD".
