PRD generation converts validated discovery artifacts into a production-ready Product Requirements Document by applying structured templates. The Skill automates PRD creation with goals, background, functional and non-functional requirements, user journeys, and KPIs, validating inputs via checklist and outputting PRD.md to your documentation repository.

An epic roadmap organizes features into sequenced epics with explicit dependencies and traceability links back to PRD requirements. The Skill generates epics.md showing feature ordering, dependencies between epics, and connections to individual stories, enabling stakeholders to understand prioritization and delivery phases.

Yes. Traceability is built into the Skill's output—PRD requirements map directly to epics and downstream stories. This ensures every requirement has a tracked path through planning to implementation, making it easier to validate coverage and manage scope across stakeholders and disciplines.

You need validated discovery artifacts—research findings, user insights, business goals, and scope definition. The Skill includes a CHECKLIST.md that validates these inputs before processing. Once validated, the templates in assets/ generate your PRD.md and epics.md outputs.

Yes. The Skill is designed for Level 2–4 product initiatives requiring structured planning across multiple teams and disciplines. It handles complex roadmaps with sequenced epics, stakeholder alignment, and cross-functional traceability, making it suitable for phased rollouts and dependent features.

The CHECKLIST.md validation step flags missing or incomplete inputs before PRD generation begins, preventing downstream rework. You address gaps in discovery artifacts first, then re-run the generator to produce valid, traceable PRD and epic artifacts.
