SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This command helps teams begin PRD implementation efficiently by validating readiness, establishing a dedicated feature branch, and preparing the local environment so work can commence immediately.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated PRD readiness validation: Checks readiness criteria (functional requirements, dependencies, risks) and surfaces gaps.
  • Branch and environment setup: Creates a feature branch from main (or uses an existing one) and sets up development environment scaffolding.
  • PRD handoff readiness: Prepares to hand off to /prd-next for task identification and planning.

Quick Start

Provide the PRD number to start (e.g., PRD 12). The system will validate readiness, create the feature branch, and prepare the environment, then hand off to /prd-next.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a development branch for PRD implementation?▼

To set up a development branch for PRD implementation, the Skill creates a dedicated feature branch off main and prepares your local environment scaffolding so work can start immediately. It also validates PRD readiness criteria beforehand.

What is PRD readiness validation and how does it work?▼

PRD readiness validation checks functional requirements, dependencies, and risks to surface gaps before development begins. This ensures your product requirements document has all necessary criteria met prior to creating a feature branch.

Do I need a specific PRD number to start environment setup?▼

You do not need a specific PRD number to start environment setup, but providing an optional prdNumber tailors the branch creation and readiness check for a specific PRD across your projects.

How do I prepare for a PRD handoff to task identification?▼

To prepare for a PRD handoff, the Skill validates readiness, establishes the feature branch, and configures local development. It then hands off to the next planning phase to identify tasks.

What happens if a feature branch already exists when starting PRD work?▼

If a feature branch already exists when starting PRD work, the Skill uses the existing branch rather than creating a new one off main. It proceeds with applying the readiness checklist and preparing the environment.
