What it does

Prd V03 Features Value Planning is an agent skill from mattgierhart/PRD-driven-context-engineering. Define and prioritize features with strategic traceability during PRD v0.3 Commercial Model. Triggers on requests to define features, prioritize capabilities, scope MVP, map features to pricing tiers, identify parity vs. delta features, or when user asks "what features do we build?", "what's in MVP?", "which features matter?", "feature priority", "parity features", "what's our delta?". Consumes KPI- (Outcome Definition), BR- (Pricing Model, Moat), and CFD- (Market Moat Analysis) from v0.3. Outputs FEA- entries…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/competitive-feature-matrix.md`, `assets/fea.md` and `references/examples.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering PRD writing, Pricing strategy and Physical and earth sciences. The repository describes itself as: PRD-Led Context Engineering — Memory as Infrastructure. An ontology layer for product teams building products that solve real problems — with AI agents that remember. Gated PRD… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Requests to define features
  • Prioritize capabilities
  • Map features to pricing tiers
  • Identify parity vs

Example prompts

  • “what features do we build?”
  • “s in MVP?”
  • “which features matter?”
  • “/prd-v03-features-value-planning”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, WebFetch

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 30ed1b0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebSearch
    • WebFetch

    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 V03 Features Value Planning loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 158 tokens; SKILL.md has 737 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~158
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.6k

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.

Feature Value Planning

Position in workflow: v0.3 Commercial Model → v0.3 Feature Value Planning → v0.4 User Journeys

Features are the unit of scope. Every feature must trace back to why it exists: outcome, moat, competitive position, or pricing tier.

Consumes

This skill requires prior work from v0.1-v0.3:

  • CFD-* entries (customer feedback, from v0.1-v0.2) — Evidence for what users need/want
  • KPI-* entries (outcome definitions, from v0.3 Outcome Definition) — What metrics does each feature support
  • BR-* moat entries (from v0.3 Moat Definition) — What features defend our competitive position
  • BR-* pricing entries (from v0.3 Pricing Model) — What features differentiate tiers
  • Market landscape analysis (from v0.2) — Competitive feature comparison

This skill assumes v0.1-v0.2 research is complete and risk/tech decisions (v0.5) are not yet made.

Produces

This skill creates/updates:

  • FEA-* entries (feature definitions, with confidence scoring) — Every feature in scope with traceability
  • BR-FEA-* entries (governance rules for feature decisions) — Scope protection rules
  • MVP-SCOPE artifact — Explicit list: "These X features (FEA-001, FEA-005, FEA-008) define our MVP"
    • Example: MVP-SCOPE: 5 P0 features + 3 P1 features = 8 total. Rationale: Delivers value on [KPI-001, KPI-002]. Competitive parity [FEA-001-003], Delta [FEA-004], Pricing [FEA-005]
    • This becomes the definition for v0.4 user journeys and v0.7 build scope

All FEA- entries include confidence:

  • confidence: 2-3/5 (based on CFD- evidence strength)
  • Evidence: "CFD-001, CFD-005, competitive-analysis"
  • Forward target: "Would move to 4/5 if beta cohort uses it"

Feature Classification Framework

TypeDefinitionStrategic PurposeEvidence Required
MoatBuilds/defends competitive advantageSupports BR- moat ruleHigh (CFD- proving differentiation)
OutcomeDirectly drives success metricTied to KPI- entryHigh (KPI- link mandatory)
ParityMatches competitor baselineFrom Competitive LandscapeMedium (CFD- competitor evidence)
DeltaDifferentiation from competitorsOur advantage over marketHigh (CFD- gap evidence)
TierDifferentiates pricing packagesFrom Pricing BR-Medium (BR- tier assignment)
Table StakesExpected but not differentiatingIndustry standardLow (common knowledge)

Rule: P0 features require Moat, Outcome, or Delta classification. Table Stakes alone cannot justify P0.

Product Type × Feature Strategy

Feature focus varies by product type (from v0.2 classification):

Product TypePrimary FocusParity ApproachDelta Approach
Fast FollowParity + focused delta1:1 critical feature matchSingle compelling improvement
InnovationMoat-building featuresMinimal (new category)Core differentiation IS the product
SliceSegment-specific featuresPartial (niche needs differ)Deep fit for underserved segment
Fast Follow Constraint

BR-FEA-PARITY-FIRST: No delta features until parity features complete. Users compare to incumbent first.

Innovation Pattern

Moat features = 60%+ of scope. Table stakes minimized. Delta is the entire value proposition.

Slice Pattern

80/20 rule: Match 20% of incumbent features that serve 80% of niche use cases. Delta = niche-specific depth.

Priority Tier Criteria

TierCriteriaEvidence Threshold
P0 — Must HaveBlocks launch without it; tied to primary KPI- or moat BR-CFD- proof + KPI-/BR- link
P1 — Should HaveMeaningfully improves outcome; supports tier differentiationCFD- user signal
P2 — Nice to HaveEnhances experience; no direct KPI impactReasonable assumption OK
P3 — Defer/CutScope creep signal; can add post-launchNone (remove from scope)

Kill criterion: If >40% of features are P2/P3, scope is bloated. Re-evaluate.

FEA- Output Template

Create FEA- entries in this format:

FEA-XXX: [Feature Name]
Type: [Moat | Outcome | Parity | Delta | Tier | Table Stakes]
Priority: [P0 | P1 | P2 | P3]
Description: [What the feature does — user-facing capability]
Outcome Link: [KPI-XXX this supports, or "N/A"]
Moat Link: [BR-XXX moat rule this supports, or "N/A"]
Pricing Link: [BR-XXX tier this belongs to, or "All tiers"]
Competitor Comparison: [Parity with X | Delta vs X | Unique | Table stakes]
Validation: [CFD-XXX evidence, or validation method]
Acceptance Criteria: [Testable condition for "done"]

Example entries:

FEA-001: One-Click Scheduling
Type: Parity
Priority: P0
Description: Schedule meetings with single click from availability view
Outcome Link: KPI-002 (activation rate)
Moat Link: N/A
Pricing Link: All tiers
Competitor Comparison: Parity with Calendly
Validation: CFD-012 (competitor feature audit)
Acceptance Criteria: User completes scheduling in ≤3 clicks

FEA-002: Offline Mode
Type: Delta
Priority: P0
Description: Full functionality without internet connection
Outcome Link: KPI-001 (TTFV for field users)
Moat Link: BR-012 (moat: works anywhere)
Pricing Link: BR-045 (Pro tier differentiator)
Competitor Comparison: Delta vs Notion (requires connection)
Validation: CFD-018 (user interviews: connectivity complaints)
Acceptance Criteria: All core features function with 0 connectivity for 24h

BR-FEA- Governance Rules

Create governance rules for feature decisions:

BR-FEA-XXX: [Rule Name]
Type: [Scope Protection | Prioritization Rule | Validation Gate]
Rule: [Constraint statement]
Rationale: [Why this rule exists]
Enforcement: [When/how applied]

Standard rules to establish:

  • BR-FEA-001: Outcome Link Required — P0/P1 features must link to KPI- entry
  • BR-FEA-002: Validation Before Build — P0 features require CFD- evidence before development
  • BR-FEA-003: Scope Freeze Gate — Feature list locked after v0.4; changes require EPIC

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

Anti-PatternSignalFix
Feature creepP2/P3 > 40% of scopeCut ruthlessly; defer to backlog
Implementation masquerading as feature"Use Redis caching"Reframe as user outcome
Orphaned featuresNo KPI-, BR-, or CFD- linkAdd traceability or cut
Assumption-based priority"Users will love this"Require CFD- evidence
Parity inflationEverything is "parity"Challenge: is competitor feature actually used?
Delta without moatDelta feature easy to copyTie to defensible BR- moat

Downstream Connections

This skill's outputs feed into multiple downstream skills:

ConsumerConsumesPurpose
v0.4 User JourneysFEA-* entries + MVP-SCOPE artifactDesign journey paths through MVP features
v0.5 Red Team ReviewFEA-* entriesAssess technical/risk feasibility of features
v0.6 ArchitectureFEA-* entries + MVP-SCOPEDesign system that supports MVP features
v0.7 Build ExecutionFEA-* entries + MVP-SCOPEDefine EPIC scope (which features = which EPICs)
v0.9 GTMFEA-* entries (especially Delta)Build launch messaging around delta features

Critical handoff: The MVP-SCOPE artifact is the boundary. Everything in the list goes to v0.4+. Everything outside gets deferred to post-launch backlog.
