SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the systematic validation of Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) against the BMAD methodology to reduce manual review time, surface critical gaps, and ensure downstream readiness for design, architecture, and implementation teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Workflow Execution: Runs a disciplined, step-file driven validation pipeline (discovery, format detection, density checks, measurability, traceability, domain and project-type compliance, completeness).
  • Traceability & Measurability Checks: Identifies orphan requirements, missing success criteria, and non-measurable FRs/NFRs to ensure requirements are testable and justified.
  • Parity & Remediation Options: For non-standard PRDs, it provides gap analysis and effort estimates to reach BMAD parity and supports guided next steps such as targeted edits.
  • Use Case: Run this on an existing Markdown PRD in a BMAD project to produce a comprehensive validation report that teams can act on.

Quick Start

Run PRD validation on product/prd.md and generate a validation report saved next to the PRD.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a PRD against BMAD methodology standards?

To validate a PRD against BMAD methodology, run a step-file workflow that systematically checks Markdown documents for structure, information density, measurability, traceability, and completeness, generating an actionable validation report.

What is the best way to check PRD traceability and measurability for orphan requirements?

Checking PRD traceability and measurability involves scanning requirements to identify orphan features, missing success criteria, and non-measurable functional constraints, ensuring all items are testable and justified for downstream teams.

Can I validate non-standard product requirement documents for BMAD compliance?

You can validate non-standard product requirement documents for BMAD compliance by performing gap analysis and providing effort estimates to reach parity, alongside guided remediation options for targeted edits.

How do I automate PRD completeness checks for downstream design and architecture teams?

Automating PRD completeness checks requires executing a structured validation pipeline that detects document formats and surfaces critical gaps, ensuring downstream readiness for design, architecture, and implementation teams.

Does the BMAD PRD validation workflow require specific project configurations?

The BMAD PRD validation workflow requires read and write access to the Markdown PRD and workspace, alongside access to workflow configuration and related input documents to append the validation report next to the PRD.
