SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python3, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the common issue of inconsistent, low-density, or non-compliant Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) that lead to downstream development failures. It enforces the BMAD (Build-Measure-Analyze-Design) method to ensure requirements are precise, measurable, and testable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Compliance Checking: Validates PRDs against BMAD standards, including information density, traceability, and domain-specific requirements.
  • Gap Analysis: Identifies missing core sections and provides actionable feedback to reach BMAD parity.
  • Use Case: A Product Manager can use this skill to validate a draft PRD before sharing it with engineering, ensuring that all functional and non-functional requirements are clearly defined and traceable to user needs.

Quick Start

Use the bmad-validate-prd skill to validate the PRD located at path/to/your/prd.md.

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

PRD validation against BMAD standards is performed by analyzing document structure, traceability chains, and information density to ensure requirements are precise, measurable, and testable. The skill identifies missing sections and provides actionable gap analysis feedback.

What makes a Product Requirement Document compliant with BMAD requirements?

A BMAD-compliant Product Requirement Document enforces the separation of functional capabilities from implementation details. It maintains high information density and ensures all requirements are directly traceable to user needs for downstream AI-driven development.

Can I check PRD compliance for domain-specific industries like healthcare or fintech?

PRD compliance checking supports domain-specific requirements for complex industries like healthcare or fintech. The validation process analyzes traceability chains and enforces non-functional requirements tailored to these specialized regulatory environments.

How do I ensure my requirements are testable before engineering handoff?

To ensure requirements are testable before engineering handoff, validate your draft PRD to enforce the separation of functional capabilities from implementation details. This process checks that all requirements are clearly defined and traceable to user needs.

Do I need Python3 to run automated PRD validation?

Python3 is required as a dependency to run the automated PRD validation scripts. The skill utilizes these scripts to analyze document structure, traceability chains, and information density against BMAD methodology standards.

Why does my PRD fail downstream AI-driven development?

PRDs fail downstream AI-driven development when they contain inconsistent, low-density, or non-compliant requirements. Validating your PRD against BMAD standards ensures high information density and the separation of functional capabilities from implementation details.
