What it does

Product Capability is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. Translate PRD intent, roadmap asks, or product discussions into an implementation-ready capability plan that exposes constraints, invariants, interfaces, and unresolved decisions before multi-service work starts. Use when the user needs an ECC-native PRD-to-SRS lane instead of vague planning prose.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs an ECC-native PRD-to-SRS lane instead of vague planning prose
  • Tasks that involve PRD writing

Example prompts

  • “/product-capability”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Restate the capability
  2. Resolve capability constraints
  3. Define the implementation-facing contract
  4. Translate into execution

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d515e4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Product Capability loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 474 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Product Capability

This skill turns product intent into explicit engineering constraints.

Use it when the gap is not "what should we build?" but "what exactly must be true before implementation starts?"

When to Use

  • A PRD, roadmap item, discussion, or founder note exists, but the implementation constraints are still implicit
  • A feature crosses multiple services, repos, or teams and needs a capability contract before coding
  • Product intent is clear, but architecture, data, lifecycle, or policy implications are still fuzzy
  • Senior engineers keep restating the same hidden assumptions during review
  • You need a reusable artifact that can survive across harnesses and sessions

Canonical Artifact

If the repo has a durable product-context file such as PRODUCT.md, docs/product/, or a program-spec directory, update it there.

If no capability manifest exists yet, create one using the template at:

  • docs/examples/product-capability-template.md

The goal is not to create another planning stack. The goal is to make hidden capability constraints durable and reusable.

Non-Negotiable Rules

  • Do not invent product truth. Mark unresolved questions explicitly.
  • Separate user-visible promises from implementation details.
  • Call out what is fixed policy, what is architecture preference, and what is still open.
  • If the request conflicts with existing repo constraints, say so clearly instead of smoothing it over.
  • Prefer one reusable capability artifact over scattered ad hoc notes.

Inputs

Read only what is needed:

  1. Product intent
    • issue, discussion, PRD, roadmap note, founder message
  2. Current architecture
    • relevant repo docs, contracts, schemas, routes, existing workflows
  3. Existing capability context
    • PRODUCT.md, design docs, RFCs, migration notes, operating-model docs
  4. Delivery constraints
    • auth, billing, compliance, rollout, backwards compatibility, performance, review policy

Core Workflow

Show full SKILL.md (208 more words)Show less
1. Restate the capability

Compress the ask into one precise statement:

  • who the user or operator is
  • what new capability exists after this ships
  • what outcome changes because of it

If this statement is weak, the implementation will drift.

2. Resolve capability constraints

Extract the constraints that must hold before implementation:

  • business rules
  • scope boundaries
  • invariants
  • trust boundaries
  • data ownership
  • lifecycle transitions
  • rollout / migration requirements
  • failure and recovery expectations

These are the things that often live only in senior-engineer memory.

3. Define the implementation-facing contract

Produce an SRS-style capability plan with:

  • capability summary
  • explicit non-goals
  • actors and surfaces
  • required states and transitions
  • interfaces / inputs / outputs
  • data model implications
  • security / billing / policy constraints
  • observability and operator requirements
  • open questions blocking implementation
4. Translate into execution

End with the exact handoff:

  • ready for direct implementation
  • needs architecture review first
  • needs product clarification first

If useful, point to the next ECC-native lane:

  • project-flow-ops
  • workspace-surface-audit
  • api-connector-builder
  • dashboard-builder
  • tdd-workflow
  • verification-loop

Output Format

Return the result in this order:

text
CAPABILITY
- one-paragraph restatement

CONSTRAINTS
- fixed rules, invariants, and boundaries

IMPLEMENTATION CONTRACT
- actors
- surfaces
- states and transitions
- interface/data implications

NON-GOALS
- what this lane explicitly does not own

OPEN QUESTIONS
- blockers or product decisions still required

HANDOFF
- what should happen next and which ECC lane should take it

Good Outcomes

  • Product intent is now concrete enough to implement without rediscovering hidden constraints mid-PR.
  • Engineering review has a durable artifact instead of relying on memory or Slack context.
  • The resulting plan is reusable across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and ECC 2.0 planning surfaces.
