What problem does it solve?
AI coding agents frequently implement PRD requirements that conflict with existing code or miss stale implementations, leading to rework and technical debt. This skill validates product requirement documents against actual codebases before coding begins, ensuring requirements are feasible and conflicts are caught early.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Conflict Detection: Cross-analyzes PRD requirements against code using ripgrep, producing evidence-backed reports with file paths and line numbers.
- Diff Mode: Audits only changed requirements when a PRD is updated incrementally, reducing audit time by up to 90% on typical changes.
- Documentation Health Check: Detects stale or inaccurate project documentation before relying on it for implementation.
- Use Case: Ideal for teams using spec-kit or Superpowers, where an audit report feeds directly into specification generation and implementation planning.
Quick Start
Use the prd-pilot skill to audit the provided PRD document against the current project codebase and generate a structured conflict report with code evidence.
