Use this skill before any multi-file feature, architectural decision, or complex bug fix.
Activate with: @create-prd
Location and naming
All PRDs live in prds/ folder
File name: prds/<feature-or-problem-slug>.md
Extension is always .md, not .prd
Use kebab-case for the filename (e.g., prds/adding-email-auth.md)
Template
Copy and fill in this template:
# [Feature or problem name]
## Summary
1-2 sentence description of what this is and why it matters.
## Problem
What is broken or missing. Include symptoms, error messages, or user-facing impact.
## Root cause (for bugs)
What actually caused it. Do not skip this for bugs.
## Proposed solution
How to fix or build it. Be specific about the approach chosen and why.
## Files to change
- `path/to/file.ts` - what changes and why
- `convex/schema.ts` - if schema changes are needed
## Edge cases and gotchas
Anything non-obvious that came up during analysis. This section saves the next session.
## Verification
How to confirm the fix or feature works:
- [ ] Step 1
- [ ] Step 2
## Related
Links to related PRDs, issues, or external docs if any.
When to create a PRD
3+ files will change
Schema changes are involved
Architectural decisions are being made (auth, hosting, data model)
A bug required significant investigation to diagnose
A feature needs to be referenced later as a migration guide or implementation reference
When to skip a PRD
Single file bug fix obvious from logs or types
Typo, CSS tweak, or label change
Copy change to markdown content
After creating the PRD
Add the feature tasks to TASK.md under ## To Do as checkable items
Reference the PRD path in the TASK.md entry if useful
Begin implementation only after the plan is clear
