At a glance

Create a PRD through user interview, codebase exploration, and module design, then save it as a file.

  • Works in 5 steps: Collect the plan → Explore the codebase → Interview the user → …
  • The user wants to write a PRD
  • SKILL.md covers Process, Problem Statement, Solution and User Stories, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Write A Prd is an agent skill from maiobarbero/my-ai-workflow. Create a PRD through user interview, codebase exploration, and module design, then save it as a file. Use when the user wants to write a PRD, create a product requirements document, or plan a new feature.

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.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to write a PRD
  • Create a product requirements document
  • Plan a new feature

Example prompts

  • “/write-a-prd”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Collect the plan
  2. Explore the codebase
  3. Interview the user
  4. Design the modules
  5. Write the PRD

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7748c8e. 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

Write A Prd loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 662 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 662 words (~1,140 tokens).

“Turn a free-form description of a problem into a structured PRD file through codebase exploration and relentless user interview.”
