SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

PRDs often drift as design decisions and strategic changes occur. This Skill captures, documents, and applies those decisions to the correct product documents to maintain alignment across planning artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Decision capture and logging: records the decision, date, rationale, and impact for traceability.
  • Targeted PRD updates: updates prds/[issue-id]-[feature-name].md and related sections.
  • Cross-artifact consistency: aligns PRDs with architectural and workflow changes to reduce drift.
  • Use Case: during a design review, you decide to change the scope for feature X; this Skill updates the corresponding PRD and logs the decision for audit.

Quick Start

Update the PRD for prds/1234-feature.md to reflect the latest decision, rationale, and impact.

FAQPage Schema
How do I keep PRDs synchronized with evolving design decisions?

To keep PRDs synchronized with design decisions, you need a process that captures conversation outcomes, logs the rationale and date, and updates relevant prds/[issue-id]-[feature-name].md sections to prevent documentation drift.

What is the best way to log product management decisions for audit traceability?

Logging product management decisions for audit traceability involves recording the specific design change, the date it was made, the strategic rationale behind it, and its impact on scope within a structured decision log linked to your PRDs.

How do I update product requirements when scope changes during a design review?

To update product requirements after a scope change, apply the strategic decisions identified during the review directly to the corresponding PRD sections, ensuring you capture the new requirements and record the decision rationale for cross-artifact consistency.

Can I apply strategic changes across multiple PRD sections automatically?

Yes, you can apply strategic changes across multiple PRD sections by targeting the prds/[issue-id]-[feature-name].md documents, updating the affected requirements, and aligning the workflow changes to reduce cross-artifact drift.

Why does PRD documentation drift from actual product development decisions?

PRD documentation drifts from actual product development because design decisions and strategic scope changes occur during conversations without being systematically captured, logged with rationale, and applied back to the original product requirements documents.
