What it does

Evanflow Prd is an agent skill from evanklem/evanflow. Synthesize a PRD (Product Requirements Document) for a big new feature. Synthesis (not interview) — uses existing project context and explicit ADRs. Asks before gh issue create. Use when scoping a substantial new feature in PRD shape (e.g., before a sprint).

Its SKILL.md is about 820 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: A TDD-driven iterative feedback loop for software development. 16 cohesive Claude Code skills walk an idea from brainstorm → plan → execute → iterate, with checkpoints throughout.

When your agent uses it

  • Scoping a substantial new feature in PRD shape (e.g.
  • Before a sprint)

Example prompts

  • “/evanflow-prd”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read Context (don't interview)
  2. Identify Major Modules
  3. Validate Architecture
  4. Write the PRD
  5. Optional: Create GitHub Issue

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c9ae21f. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Evanflow Prd loads about 817 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 293 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~817

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 293 words (~817 tokens).
