What it does

Factory Product is an agent skill from tikalk/adlc-team-skills. Use when orchestrating a product lifecycle (specify/init → clarify → implement → analyze) to generate or verify PRD.md.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `workflow.yml`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills for the Agentic SDLC: team lifecycle (team-boot, team-learn, team-init, team-repair), software factory, evals, CDR lifecycle with confidence scoring, and… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Orchestrating a product lifecycle (specify/init → clarify → implement → analyze) to generate
  • Tasks that involve PRD writing

Example prompts

  • “/factory-product”

Workflow steps

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

  1. specify (generate phase) -> Invoke product-specify to collaboratively capture PDR drafts in .adlc/drafts/pdr/.
  2. clarify⭐ (clarify phase) -> Invoke product-clarify to run interactive quality checks and mark PDRs Accepted (human sign-off gate).
  3. implement (build phase) -> Invoke product-implement to compile accepted PDRs into docs/adlc/product/PRD.md and promote them to…
  4. analyze (analyze phase) -> Invoke product-analyze to verify PRD/PDR consistency and output a severity-ranked report.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c4ad44. 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

Factory Product loads about 914 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 405 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~914

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.

factory-product

What this skill does

factory-product orchestrates the product-decisions lifecycle. It coordinates individual product-related skills (product-init, product-specify, product-clarify, product-implement, product-analyze) to maintain a consistent PRD.md at docs/adlc/product/PRD.md (ADR-401).

It operates as a Kind-A DAG orchestrator in alignment with the shared executor engine contract in factory-mission/references/executor.md.

When to use

  • You want to bootstrap, refine, or analyze a product's requirements and decisions (PDRs) end-to-end.
  • You want a guided, accept-gated, and verified product definition process with a resume checkpoint.

When NOT to use:

  • For software implementation task execution (use factory-mission instead).
  • For architecture decision records (use factory-architect instead).

Lifecycle DAG & Step Resolution

factory-product implements a fixed named-skill DAG (fixed step resolution):

Greenfield Route (default on empty project)
  1. specify (generate phase) -> Invoke product-specify to collaboratively capture PDR drafts in .adlc/drafts/pdr/.
  2. clarify⭐ (clarify phase) -> Invoke product-clarify to run interactive quality checks and mark PDRs Accepted (human sign-off gate).
  3. implement (build phase) -> Invoke product-implement to compile accepted PDRs into docs/adlc/product/PRD.md and promote them to docs/adlc/memory/pdr/.
  4. analyze (analyze phase) -> Invoke product-analyze to verify PRD/PDR consistency and output a severity-ranked report.
Brownfield Route (default if code exists but no PDRs)
  1. init (generate phase) -> Invoke product-init to reverse-engineer draft PDRs from the existing codebase.
  2. clarify⭐ → implement → analyze (same as Greenfield).
Refresh Route (default if PRD.md and memory PDRs already exist)
  1. analyze (analyze phase) -> Run product-analyze first to detect drift.
  2. clarify⭐ → implement → analyze (drift-correction cycle).

Shared Executor Overrides

factory-product overrides the shared executor engine primitives as follows:

  1. Publish Target: Fixed to local. Outputs are written to docs/adlc/memory/pdr/ and docs/adlc/product/PRD.md. If tracker-integrated, a tracker completion summary comment is also posted.
  2. Output Types: Steps use the following output_type assignments:
    • specify/init → draft (PDR drafts stay in .adlc/drafts/pdr/, not published to comment bus)
    • clarify⭐ → decision (accepted/rejected PDR list published to comment bus)
    • implement → artifact-ref (PRD.md path reference published, content stays on disk)
    • analyze → findings (severity-ranked consistency report published to comment bus)
  3. Correction Loop: If analyze returns CRITICAL or HIGH consistency errors, the executor routes back to clarify with the analyze marker in reads_from. clarify reads the findings from the PR/MR/issue comment bus (or local fallback). This loop is bounded by max_corrections (default 2); if exceeded, the orchestrator halts for human review.
  4. Supervision Default: hybrid. A human gate is hard-enforced at clarify⭐ (for PDR approvals) and at final PRD.md review.
  5. Pre-flight Check: Verifies that the product-* lifecycle skills are installed in the workspace before beginning Phase 0.
