SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps refine an existing product requirements document through a structured editing workflow, so teams can improve clarity, completeness, measurability, and alignment before downstream design and engineering work begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured PRD editing workflow: Guides the user from PRD discovery through review, planning, editing, and completion.
  • BMAD format detection and legacy handling: Detects whether a PRD follows BMAD structure and offers conversion assessment for legacy documents.
  • Validation-informed improvements: Loads existing validation reports when available to prioritize fixes such as missing sections, vague requirements, implementation leakage, and weak traceability.
  • Use Case: A product manager has an older PRD that needs cleanup before architecture work starts, and wants help identifying gaps, planning changes, restructuring sections, and applying targeted improvements.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to edit an existing PRD and provide the path to the PRD.md file you want reviewed and improved.

FAQPage Schema
How do I edit and improve an existing product requirements document?

Editing a product requirements document involves a structured workflow of discovery, review, planning, and targeted updates to improve clarity and measurability. You provide the existing PRD file, and the system identifies gaps and applies prioritized edits.

What is the best way to update legacy PRDs before architecture work?

The best way to update legacy PRDs is through format detection and conversion assessment, which evaluates the document against current standards. This process identifies missing sections and vague requirements to ensure alignment before architecture work.

How do I fix vague requirements and missing sections in a PRD?

To fix vague requirements and missing sections in a PRD, use validation-guided revisions that load existing validation reports to prioritize fixes. This workflow plans targeted improvements to restructure sections and strengthen traceability.

Can I use validation reports to guide PRD revisions?

Yes, you can use validation reports to guide PRD revisions by loading existing reports to prioritize targeted fixes. The workflow addresses implementation leakage and weak traceability, offering an optional handoff to further validation workflows.

Does this PRD editing workflow support BMAD-standard documents?

Yes, this PRD editing workflow supports BMAD-standard documents through built-in format detection during the discovery phase. It applies section-by-section requirement refinement and frontmatter updates to maintain BMAD structure compliance.
