FAQPage Schema

How do I close a PRD and archive it when it is no longer needed?▼

To close a PRD, you can run the prd-close command with a specific PRD number or use interactive mode. The workflow marks the PRD as complete, moves it to the prds/done directory, and updates related GitHub issues and roadmaps.

What is the best way to update GitHub issues and roadmaps when a PRD is deprecated?▼

Closing a deprecated PRD automatically synchronizes your GitHub issues and roadmap references. This ensures that all related project tracking elements reflect the PRD's closure, maintaining overall project clarity without manual updates.

Can I close multiple PRDs interactively, or do I need to provide a PRD number directly?▼

You can close a PRD using either direct arguments or interactive prompts. Running the command with a specific number like /prd-close 20 closes it immediately, while running it without arguments initiates interactive mode to guide you through the process.

When should I archive a PRD instead of keeping it active in the project lifecycle?▼

You should archive a PRD when it has already been implemented elsewhere or is no longer needed. Archiving moves the document to the prds/done directory to preserve project history while removing it from active planning.

Does closing a PRD delete the original document from my repository?▼

Closing a PRD does not delete the original document. It archives the PRD by moving it to the prds/done directory, which preserves the history and context of the completed or deprecated product requirements document.
