SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Projects often drift from PRD requirements as plans evolve. This Skill helps Product Owners verify that implementation plans and their tasks accurately reflect the Product Requirements Document, reducing misalignment and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PRD-to-plan alignment checks: ensure plan goals map to PRD MUST/SHOULD/MAY requirements.
  • Coverage validation: verify that MUST items are addressed and assess SHOULD items with clear rationale.
  • Incremental delivery guidance: validate that slices are independently valuable and well scoped.
  • Change attribution: assist in PRD updates when scope changes occur.

Quick Start

Edit docs/PRD.md with your updated requirements. Create or update docs/plans/<plan-name>.md. Run the PO review pass with this skill to assess alignment and readiness.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate implementation plans against PRD requirements?

PRD validation checks plan goals against MUST, SHOULD, and MAY requirements to ensure alignment. It maps implementation tasks directly to PRD coverage, reducing scope drift and rework.

What is PRD-driven plan review and when do I need it?

PRD-driven plan review is the process of verifying that evolving implementation tasks accurately reflect the Product Requirements Document. You need it when projects drift from original requirements during incremental delivery.

How do I ensure each incremental delivery slice has measurable acceptance criteria?

Plan validation enforces measurable acceptance criteria for each delivery slice to verify it is independently valuable. It checks edge cases and rollout strategy to confirm slices are well scoped.

Can I use PRD validation for risk management and edge case coverage?

Yes, PRD validation supports risk management by checking edge cases and rollout strategy during plan review. It ensures SHOULD items have clear rationale and verifies MUST items are fully addressed.

How do I update a PRD when scope changes occur during implementation?

PRD validation assists in change attribution by identifying scope deviations during plan review. It helps Product Owners update the PRD to reflect approved changes while maintaining requirement traceability.

Does PRD validation work without specific framework dependencies?

PRD validation operates directly on markdown documents without requiring external dependencies or components. It functions independently to assess alignment between your requirements and implementation plans.
