What problem does it solve?
PRD lifecycles are often complex, error-prone, and hard to coordinate across multiple phases and artifacts. This Skill automates the end-to-end PRD lifecycle, ensuring living artifacts, consistent state management, and gated progression from discovery through release.
Core Features & Use Cases
- 5-phase lifecycle management (Discover, Design, Sprint, Review, Release) with clear handoffs and persistent state.
- Living artifacts and roadmaps: automatically generates and updates CONTEXT.md, DESIGN.md, PLAN.md, SUMMARY.md, VERIFICATION.md, REVIEW.md, PRD docs, and ROADMAP entries to reflect progress.
- Autonomous and interactive operation: supports fully autonomous runs or user-guided decisions, including iteration routing and compaction hooks.
- Cross-phase governance: enforces gates, quality checks, secrets management, and iteration loops to reduce risk and ensure traceability.
Quick Start
Initialize a PRD project with /cks:new and follow the 5-phase lifecycle to ship features.
