What problem does it solve?
Editing existing Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) without a structured workflow often leads to inconsistent quality, missing required sections, and content that fails to meet BMAD method standards for downstream product development work. This skill eliminates that risk by providing a guided, step-by-step edit process that ensures PRDs meet information density, traceability, and completeness requirements.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Guided Edit Workflow: Step-by-step process covering discovery, deep review, change planning, and implementation of PRD edits, with user confirmation checkpoints at every stage.
- Validation Report Integration: Auto-detects and loads existing PRD validation reports to prioritize fixes for known issues, reducing redundant work.
- Legacy PRD Support: Assesses and converts non-standard legacy PRDs to BMAD format, with gap analysis and effort estimates for users.
- Use Case: You have a PRD with vague functional requirements and missing success criteria. Use this skill to systematically improve the document, add missing sections, and ensure it meets BMAD standards for use in UX design and architecture workflows.
