v7.8.12: PRD Clarification Phase

on GitHub

Improved: PRD Clarification Phase

PRD skill now asks clarifying questions before writing, resulting in better targeted PRDs.

Problem

v7.8.10 PRD scored 96/100 vs v7.8.1's 98/100 because it skipped clarification:

• More generic problem statements
• Missing user segment breakdown
• Less targeted success metrics
• 6+ minute execution due to excessive research

Solution

Added mandatory Phase 0: Clarification that asks 5 key questions:

I'll create a PRD for: user authentication

To make this PRD highly targeted, please answer briefly:

1. **Target Users**: Who will use this?
2. **Core Problem**: What pain point does this solve? Metrics?
3. **Success Criteria**: How will you measure success?
4. **Constraints**: Technical, budget, timeline?
5. **Existing Context**: Greenfield or integration?

Also limited research to max 2 web searches (60 second cap) to speed up execution.

Expected Results

• More targeted PRDs with specific user personas
• Better quantified problem statements
• Faster execution (targeting <3 minutes vs 6+)
• Higher PRD scores
