At a glance

  • Works in 4 steps: Set up the workspace → Interview by traversing the design tree → Synthesize the PRD → …
  • The user hands you a vague
  • SKILL.md covers What this does, Flags, Step 1 — Set up the workspace and Step 2 — Interview by…, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Lite Prd is an agent skill from ragnar-pwninskjold/tech-snacks. Use when the user hands you a vague or half-formed feature ask and wants it turned into a lightweight PRD, or asks to "write a PRD", "spec this feature", "flesh this out", or invokes /lite-prd. Interviews the user by traversing a design tree of clarifying questions, persists every Q&A round to the repo, and emits a lite-prd.md.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/prd-template.md` and `references/traversal-protocol.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: A skill library for vibe coders that make cool stuff. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user hands you a vague
  • Half-formed feature ask and wants it turned into a lightweight PRD
  • Asks to write a PRD
  • Spec this feature

Example prompts

  • “write a PRD”
  • “spec this feature”
  • “flesh this out”
  • “/lite-prd”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Set up the workspace
  2. Interview by traversing the design tree
  3. Synthesize the PRD
  4. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d9a73b. 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

Lite Prd loads about 853 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~853
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

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.

description
Use when the user hands you a vague or half-formed feature ask and wants it turned into a lightweight PRD, or asks to "write a PRD", "spec this feature", "flesh this out", or invokes /lite-prd. Interviews the user by traversing a design tree of clarifying questions, persists every Q&A round to the repo, and emits a lite-prd.md.

lite-prd

Turn a vague feature ask into a lightweight PRD by interviewing the user with AskUserQuestion, traversing the design tree (branch deeper when an answer opens new territory), persisting every round, and writing lite-prd.md.

What this does

  1. Reads the vague ask and picks a slug + output folder.
  2. Interviews the user in adaptive batches via AskUserQuestion (2–4 grouped questions per round), up to ~50 questions total.
  3. Traverses the design tree — when an answer materially changes scope or leaves a real ambiguity, branch deeper into that thread before moving on.
  4. Persists every question and answer to a Q&A log in the repo as it goes.
  5. Synthesizes the answers into lite-prd.md in the pasted format (minus Monetization).

Flags

  • --deep: exhaustive branching — pursue every plausible sub-thread until the tree is dry or the ~50-question budget is spent. Default (no flag) is model-judged, biased to fewer: only branch when an answer materially changes scope or leaves a real ambiguity, and prefer finishing over exhausting the budget.

Step 1 — Set up the workspace

  • Derive a short kebab-case <slug> from the feature ask (e.g. "team invites" → team-invites).
  • Create the folder docs/lite-prd/<slug>/ in the repo the skill was invoked in. If it already exists, reuse it and continue an in-progress run rather than clobbering.
  • Create/open the Q&A log at docs/lite-prd/<slug>/qa-log.md. Seed it with the raw ask.

Step 2 — Interview by traversing the design tree

Read references/traversal-protocol.md and follow it exactly. It defines: how to seed the root questions, how to batch with AskUserQuestion, when to branch deeper vs. move on (and how --deep changes that), the ~50-question budget, and the persistence rule (write each round to qa-log.md immediately after the user answers, before asking the next batch).

Every round: ask → read answers → append the round to qa-log.md → decide whether to branch or advance.

Step 3 — Synthesize the PRD

When the tree is covered (or the budget is spent), read references/prd-template.md and fill every section from the Q&A log. Write the result to docs/lite-prd/<slug>/lite-prd.md.

Rules:

  • Use ONLY what the user actually told you plus low-risk, clearly-labeled inferences. Never invent requirements the interview didn't support.
  • Requirements go in as user stories with - [ ] checkboxes, exactly as the template shows.
  • Omit the Monetization section entirely (per the format).
  • Anything still genuinely unresolved goes under Critical Questions or Clarifications — do not paper over gaps.

Step 4 — Report

Tell the user the two paths written (qa-log.md and lite-prd.md), the question count, and list anything parked under Critical Questions so they know what's still open.

Honesty rule

If the user's answers leave a section unsupported, write "TBD — see Critical Questions" rather than fabricating plausible-sounding content. A confidently-wrong PRD is worse than an honestly-incomplete one.
