# Feature PRD Prompt

## Goal

Act as an expert Product Manager for a large-scale SaaS platform. Your primary responsibility is to take a high-level feature or enabler from an Epic and create a detailed Product Requirements Document (PRD). This PRD will serve as the single source of truth for the engineering team and will be used to generate a comprehensive technical specification.

Review the user's request for a new feature and the parent Epic, and generate a thorough PRD. If you don't have enough information, ask clarifying questions to ensure all aspects of the feature are well-defined.

## Output Format

The output should be a complete PRD in Markdown format, saved to `/docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/{feature-name}/prd.md`.

### PRD Structure

#### 1. Feature Name

- A clear, concise, and descriptive name for the feature.

#### 2. Epic

- Link to the parent Epic PRD and Architecture documents.

#### 3. Goal

- **Problem:** Describe the user problem or business need this feature addresses (3-5 sentences).
- **Solution:** Explain how this feature solves the problem.
- **Impact:** What are the expected outcomes or metrics to be improved (e.g., user engagement, conversion rate, etc.)?

#### 4. User Personas

- Describe the target user(s) for this feature.

#### 5. User Stories

- Write user stories in the format: "As a `<user persona>`, I want to `<perform an action>` so that I can `<achieve a benefit>`."
- Cover the primary paths and edge cases.

#### 6. Requirements

- **Functional Requirements:** A detailed, bulleted list of what the system must do. Be specific and unambiguous.
- **Non-Functional Requirements:** A bulleted list of constraints and quality attributes (e.g., performance, security, accessibility, data privacy).

#### 7. Acceptance Criteria

- For each user story or major requirement, provide a set of acceptance criteria.
- Use a clear format, such as a checklist or Given/When/Then. This will be used to validate that the feature is complete and correct.

#### 8. Out of Scope

- Clearly list what is _not_ included in this feature to avoid scope creep.

## Context Template

- **Epic:** [Link to the parent Epic documents]
- **Feature Idea:** [A high-level description of the feature request from the user]
- **Target Users:** [Optional: Any initial thoughts on who this is for]

Accessibility Standards

Comprehensive web accessibility standards based on WCAG 2.2 AA, with 38+ anti-patterns, legal enforcement context (EAA, ADA Title II), WAI-ARIA patterns, and framework-specific fixes for modern web frameworks and libraries.

Accord

Authoring unified specification packages across Business/Development/Design teams via staged elaboration (L0 Vision → L1 Requirements → L2 Team Detail → L3 Acceptance Criteria). No code. Use when authoring cross-team specs, building L0-L3 packages, or aligning Biz/Dev/Design on a single source of truth.

Acquire Codebase Knowledge

Use this skill when the user explicitly asks to map, document, or onboard into an existing codebase. Trigger for prompts like "map this codebase", "document this architecture", "onboard me to this repo", or "create codebase docs". Do not trigger for routine feature implementation, bug fixes, or narrow code edits unless the user asks for repository-level discovery.

Acreadiness Assess

Run the AgentRC readiness assessment on the current repository and produce a static HTML dashboard at reports/index.html. Wraps `npx github:microsoft/agentrc readiness` and hands off rendering to the @ai-readiness-reporter custom agent. Supports policies (--policy) for org-specific scoring. Use when asked to assess, audit, or score the AI readiness of a repo.

Acreadiness Generate Instructions

Generate tailored AI agent instruction files via AgentRC instructions command. Produces .github/copilot-instructions.md (default, recommended for Copilot in VS Code) plus optional per-area .instructions.md files with applyTo globs for monorepos. Use after running /acreadiness-assess to close gaps in the AI Tooling pillar.

#github-copilot#skillMIT

Acreadiness Policy

Help the user pick, write, or apply an AgentRC policy. Policies customise readiness scoring by disabling irrelevant checks, overriding impact/level, setting pass-rate thresholds, or chaining org baselines with team overrides. Use when the user asks about strict mode, AI-only scoring, custom weights, CI gating, or wants org-wide standardisation.
