SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams assess whether a product requirements document is complete, measurable, traceable, and aligned with BMAD standards before downstream design, architecture, and development work begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured PRD Validation Workflow: Runs a disciplined multi-step review covering format detection, information density, measurability, traceability, implementation leakage, completeness, and overall quality.
  • Context-Aware Compliance Checks: Adapts validation based on PRD domain and project type, including regulated industries and platform-specific documentation needs.
  • Actionable Reporting: Creates a validation report with findings, severity levels, strengths, critical gaps, and prioritized improvement recommendations.
  • Use Case: A product manager finishes a PRD for a fintech web app and wants to verify that its requirements are testable, compliant, and suitable for AI-assisted architecture and story generation before handing it to the team.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to validate your PRD by providing the PRD path or saying validate this PRD.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a product requirements document before development?

You can validate a PRD by running a structured review workflow that checks format classification, requirement measurability, and traceability to ensure it is ready for downstream architecture and development work.

What makes a product requirement measurable and testable for compliance?

A measurable and testable product requirement must pass measurability analysis and domain compliance checks during PRD validation, ensuring it meets quality standards before build begins.

Can I check if my PRD is compliant for a regulated industry project?

Yes, PRD validation can perform context-aware compliance checks that adapt based on your specific PRD domain and project type, including requirements for regulated industries.

What is traceability analysis in product requirements documents?

Traceability analysis in PRD validation examines the links between stated requirements and overall document completeness, identifying gaps and implementation leakage.

How do I get an actionable report for PRD quality assurance?

You can generate an actionable PRD validation report by running a sequential multi-step review that outputs findings, severity levels, critical gaps, and prioritized improvement recommendations.

When should I not use an automated PRD validation workflow?

You should avoid automated PRD validation if your document lacks frontmatter for parsing or if your project type falls outside standard domain compliance categories, as the sequential validation stages require structured input.
