SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Converting a PRD markdown into a structured prd.json plan enables automated task generation and deterministic execution within Forgeloop.

Core Features & Use Cases

Explodes PRDs into granular, machine-verifiable tasks suitable for automation.
Outputs prd.json containing project, branchName, description, and an ordered tasks array for the tasks lane.
Use Case: given specs/prd-feature.md, generate a ready-to-run plan in the repo root.

Quick Start

Provide a PRD Markdown file at specs/prd-feature.md and run the generator to produce prd.json in the repo root.

FAQPage Schema

How do I convert a PRD markdown into a structured task plan for automation?▼

To convert a PRD markdown into a structured task plan, provide your product requirements document at specs/prd-feature.md. The generator processes this markdown and outputs a machine-readable prd.json specification containing an ordered tasks array for deterministic execution.

What is the required task granularity when generating a prd.json from product requirements?▼

The required task granularity when generating a prd.json from product requirements is 8-15 tasks. This ensures product specifications are decomposed into granular, machine-verifiable tasks with explicit dependencies and priority order for automated workflows.

How does PRD task generation handle dependencies and acceptance criteria for automated execution?▼

PRD task generation handles dependencies and acceptance criteria by enforcing machine-verifiable validation rules within the output. It structures the prd.json with an ordered tasks array, ensuring each task has explicit dependencies and priority order for deterministic workflow execution.

Can I use this PRD task generator without Forgeloop for automated task planning?▼

You cannot effectively use this PRD task generator without Forgeloop, as the output prd.json specification is specifically designed for deterministic execution within Forgeloop's tasks workflow. The generated branchName and task structure integrate directly with that environment.

What is included in the prd.json output when exploding a PRD markdown file?▼

The prd.json output includes the project name, a consistent branchName, a description, and an ordered tasks array. This deterministic output provides the exact structure needed to run automated task generation and execution in the tasks lane.
