How to use this prompt well

Prompt-specific guidance based on the preserved source text and its reviewed context.

Why Promptcred selected this prompt

The prompt joins product scope, requirements, user stories, architecture, interfaces, security, and compliance in one planning record.

Best use cases

Drafting a first PRD when product and technical stakeholders have supplied the core decisions.
Checking whether a feature brief covers both user requirements and implementation boundaries.

Required inputs

The productFeature, requested documentType, problem, objectives, stakeholders, and scope decisions.
Known functional, non-functional, architecture, interface, security, and compliance requirements.

How to adapt it

Choose PRD or technical documentation explicitly instead of asking for both by default.
Replace the e-commerce example and remove sections for which the team has no established decision or evidence.

Limitations and failure modes

Sparse stakeholder input can turn unresolved decisions into polished but invented requirements.
Combining PRD and technical design too early can make implementation choices look like approved product needs.

Practical worked example

Editorial analysis reviewed Aug 23, 2026.

Promptcred-authored application and illustrative output. This is not a recorded model execution.

Scenario: Draft a PRD for account export with a technical appendix deferred.
Inputs: Provide user problem, export formats, data scope, access rules, retention limits, success measures, and exclusions.
Promptcred-adapted instruction: Set documentType to PRD for `Account data export`. Write requirements only from the supplied formats, data scope, access rules, retention limits, success measures, and exclusions. Put architecture and API design under Open Questions.
Illustrative result: Illustrative requirement: `An authenticated account owner can request a JSON or CSV export of the listed account data; the request excludes deleted workspace content.` Open question: export-job architecture and delivery API are not established by the brief.
Evaluation: Requirements should be testable, trace to the stated problem, and separate approved scope from open questions.

How to evaluate the output

Each requirement has a clear actor, behavior, boundary, and acceptance condition.
The document labels assumptions and unresolved technical choices instead of presenting them as facts.

# PRD and Technical Documentation Generator

This skill is designed to assist in the creation of detailed Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) and accompanying technical documentation.

## Instructions

1. **Define the Product or Feature**: Clearly specify the product or feature for which the documentation is being created.

   - **Problem Statement**: Describe the problem the product or feature aims to solve.
   - **Objectives**: Outline the main goals and objectives.
   - **Scope**: Define the scope, including what is included and excluded.
   - **Requirements**: Detail functional and non-functional requirements.
   - **User Stories**: Include user stories to illustrate usage scenarios.
4. **Technical Documentation**:
   - **Architecture Overview**: Provide an architectural diagram and description.
   - **Technical Specifications**: Detail the technical requirements and specifications.
   - **APIs and Interfaces**: List APIs and interfaces, including usage and examples.
   - **Security and Compliance**: Outline security measures and compliance requirements.
