What it does

Prd Update Decisions is an agent skill from vfarcic/dot-agent-deck. Update PRD based on design decisions and strategic changes made during conversations

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 Architecture decision records. The repository describes itself as: A rich terminal dashboard for monitoring and controlling multiple AI coding agent sessions. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve PRD writing
  • Tasks that involve Architecture decision records

Example prompts

  • “/prd-update-decisions”

Workflow steps

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

  1. PRD Analysis
  2. Conversation Analysis
  3. Decision Impact Assessment
  4. PRD Updates

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9cc3e60. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

    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 Update Decisions loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 886 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

PRD Update Decisions Slash Command

Instructions

You are updating a PRD based on design decisions, strategic changes, and architectural choices made during conversations. This command captures conceptual changes that may not yet be reflected in code but affect requirements, approach, or scope.

Where the PRD lives. Since issue #1591 a new PRD is its GitHub issue — the body is the PRD, the comments are its record — and an older PRD keeps its prds/<n>-*.md file. bash .claude/skills/prd-start/prd-source.sh <n> says which, and ../prd-start/issue-prd.md is how to read and write the issue case. For an issue PRD, recording a decision needs no commit.

Process Overview

  1. Identify Target PRD - Determine which PRD to update
  2. Analyze Conversation Context - Review discussions for design decisions and strategic changes
  3. Identify Decision Points - Find architecture, workflow, requirement, or scope changes
  4. Map to PRD Sections - Determine which parts of the PRD need updates
  5. Propose Updates - Suggest changes to requirements, approaches, and constraints
  6. Update Decision Log - Record new decisions with rationale and impact

Step 1: PRD Analysis

Ask the user which PRD to update, then locate it with bash .claude/skills/prd-start/prd-source.sh [issue-id]:

  • SOURCE=file: read the PRD file it names (FILE=prds/[issue-id]-[feature-name].md)
  • SOURCE=issue: read the issue body and its collaborator comments, as ../prd-start/issue-prd.md shows
  • SOURCE=none: there is no PRD to update — say why (REASON=) and suggest /prd-create [issue-id]
  • Understand current requirements, approach, and constraints
  • Identify areas most likely to be affected by design decisions

Step 2: Conversation Analysis

Review the conversation context for decision-making patterns:

Design Decision Indicators

Look for conversation elements that suggest strategic changes:

  • Workflow changes: "Let's simplify this to..." "What if we instead..."
  • Architecture decisions: "I think we should use..." "The better approach would be..."
  • Requirement modifications: "Actually, we don't need..." "We should also include..."
  • Scope adjustments: "Let's defer this..." "This is more complex than we thought..."
  • User experience pivots: "Users would prefer..." "This workflow makes more sense..."
Specific Decision Types
  • Technical Architecture: Framework choices, design patterns, data structures
  • User Experience: Workflow changes, interface decisions, interaction models
  • Requirements: New requirements, modified requirements, removed requirements
  • Scope Management: Features added, deferred, or eliminated
  • Implementation Strategy: Phasing changes, priority adjustments, approach modifications

Step 3: Decision Impact Assessment

For each identified decision, assess:

Impact Categories
  • Requirements Impact: What requirements need to be added, modified, or removed?
  • Scope Impact: Does this expand or contract the project scope?
  • Timeline Impact: Does this affect project phases or delivery dates?
  • Architecture Impact: Does this change technical constraints or approaches?
  • Code Example Impact: Which examples, interfaces, or snippets become outdated?
  • Risk Impact: Does this introduce new risks or mitigate existing ones?
Decision Documentation Format

For each decision, record:

  • Decision: What was decided
  • Date: When the decision was made
  • Rationale: Why this approach was chosen
  • Impact: How this affects the PRD requirements, scope, or approach
  • Code Impact: Which code examples, interfaces, or snippets need updating
  • Owner: Who made or approved the decision

Step 4: PRD Updates

Update the appropriate PRD sections.

For a file PRD (SOURCE=file), edit the file as below; the change is committed with the branch's work.

For an issue PRD (SOURCE=issue), a decision is written in two places, in this order, following ../prd-start/issue-prd.md:

  1. The record, as a comment — one ### PRD decision — YYYY-MM-DD comment per decision, carrying the full Decision Documentation Format above. Comments are append-only, so two agents recording decisions at once cannot overwrite each other.
  2. The plan, in the body — add the decision's one-line summary, linking its comment, to ## Decisions, and change the sections it changes (requirements, scope, milestones, risks) as below. Fetch the body immediately before editing it and change only those sections ("Editing the body").

Nothing is committed for an issue PRD.

Decision Log Updates
  • Add new resolved decisions with date and rationale (for an issue PRD: the comment, plus its one-line summary in the body's ## Decisions)
  • Mark open questions as resolved if decisions were made
  • Update decision impact on requirements and scope
Requirements Updates
  • Modify functional requirements based on design changes
  • Update non-functional requirements if performance/quality criteria changed
  • Adjust success criteria if measurements or targets changed
Implementation Approach Updates
  • Update phases if sequencing or priorities changed
  • Modify architecture decisions if technical approach evolved
  • Adjust scope management if features were added, deferred, or removed
Code Example Validation and Updates
  • Identify Outdated Examples: Scan PRD for code snippets that may be affected by design decisions
  • Interface Changes: Update examples when function signatures, parameter types, or return values change
  • API Modifications: Revise examples when method names, class structures, or data formats evolve
  • Workflow Updates: Update process examples when user interaction patterns or step sequences change
  • Mark for Verification: Flag code examples that need manual testing to ensure they still work
Task and Milestone Updates
  • Create new tasks when decisions introduce work not covered by existing tasks (e.g., a new integration, migration step, or validation requirement)
  • Add new milestones when decisions significantly change project scope or phasing (e.g., a new phase for a deferred feature, or an additional delivery checkpoint)
  • Update existing tasks when decisions change what a task requires or how it should be implemented
  • Remove or defer tasks that are no longer relevant due to scope changes or eliminated requirements
  • Reorder priorities when decisions shift what should be delivered first
Risk and Dependency Updates
  • Add new risks introduced by design decisions
  • Update mitigation strategies if approach changed
  • Modify dependencies if architectural changes affect integrations
