What it does

Prd Writer is an agent skill from holaboss-ai/holaOS. Turn a feature idea into a clear PRD — problem, users, requirements, and success metrics.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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 and Product metrics. The repository describes itself as: Open-source agentic workspace enterprises can make their own. Connect the systems you already run — 100+ integrations, MCP, chat tools, apps, browser, local files — with shared…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve PRD writing
  • Tasks that involve Product metrics

Example prompts

  • “/prd-writer”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Pin down the problem and the user before anything else.
  2. Set goals and non-goals; they bound everything after.
  3. Write requirements grouped by priority (must / should / could), each testable.
  4. Add success metrics, then list risks and open questions honestly.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4684714. 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

Prd Writer loads about 571 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 326 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~571

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 326 words (~571 tokens).

“Write the spec that gets a team building the right thing. A good PRD isn't a feature list — it's a shared understanding of the problem, who has it, what "done" means, and how you'll know it worked. It closes…”
