Foreman To Prd Agent Skill

PRD template and authoring rules for Foreman. Synthesizes a PRD from the approved plan and the grilled decisions and writes it as a local file in the Foreman feature directory. Does not interview the user and does not publish to any external issue tracker.

The instruction itself

11 sections, as written by the author

foreman-to-prd

(Adapted from mattpocock/skills to-prd — see NOTICE. Removed: live "check with

the user" seam confirmation and the GitHub publish + ready-for-agent label step.

Output is a local prd.md file, not a tracker post.)

This skill is the PRD template authority. The foreman-grill-docs skill calls

it to produce prd.md. Synthesize from the approved plan, the codebase, and the

grilled decisions — do NOT interview anyone.

Process

  • Explore the target repo to understand the current state, if you haven't. Use

the project's domain glossary (CONTEXT.md) throughout, and respect ADRs in

the area you're touching.

  • Identify the seams at which the feature will be tested. Prefer existing

seams; use the highest seam possible. If a new seam is needed, propose it at

the highest point you can — and if whether that seam is acceptable is a genuine

product/architecture call you cannot settle from the code, add it to the

## Open questions for reviewer block rather than asking interactively.

  • Write prd.md into the feature directory using the template below. Begin the

file with the open-questions block (see foreman-grill-docs). Do not publish

anywhere and do not apply any labels.

<prd-template>

Open questions for reviewer

<unresolved product/architecture questions, or "_None — all resolved._">

Problem Statement

The problem the user is facing, from the user's perspective.

Solution

The solution to the problem, from the user's perspective.

User Stories

A LONG, numbered list of user stories, each: `As an <actor>, I want a <feature>,

so that <benefit>`. Extremely extensive — cover all aspects of the feature. These

stories are the basis for the slicer (foreman-to-issues) and for the e2e flows,

so make each one concrete and verifiable.

User Flows

For each end-to-end flow a user can perform, list the ordered steps and the

observable outcome. These flows are what Foreman's e2e phase will turn into

automated tests, so be precise about preconditions, steps, and expected results.

Implementation Decisions

Modules built/modified, interfaces changed, technical clarifications,

architectural decisions, schema changes, API contracts, specific interactions. No

file paths or code snippets (they go stale) — *exception*: a prototype-derived

snippet that encodes a decision more precisely than prose (state machine, reducer,

schema, type shape) may be inlined, trimmed to the decision-rich parts.

Testing Decisions

What makes a good test here (test external behavior, not implementation details);

which modules will be tested; prior art for the tests (similar tests already in

the codebase); the test/lint/typecheck commands Foreman will run to verify work.

Out of Scope

What is explicitly not part of this PRD.

Further Notes

Anything else worth recording.

Doc Coauthoring
by anthropics
vendor ×10

Guide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.

Creative research ideation and exploration. Use for open-ended brainstorming sessions, exploring interdisciplinary connections, challenging assumptions, or identifying research gaps. Best for early-stage research planning when you do not have specific observations yet. For formulating testable hypotheses from data use hypothesis-generation.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take visionforge-ou/foreman-to-prd from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
