PRD Template
A reusable PRD template that produces artifacts agents and reviewers can execute against reliably.
Strong PRDs reduce ambiguity before a loop ever starts.
Inputs you need
- problem statement
- user impact
- constraints (tech, policy, business)
- measurable success criteria
- known risks
Template
# <Feature name>
## Problem
What's broken, missing, or underserved today? Keep it one or two paragraphs.
## Desired Outcome
What does the world look like once this ships? State the behavior change, not the implementation.
## User Stories
- As a <role>, I want to <action> so that <outcome>.
- As a <role>, I want to <action> so that <outcome>.
Keep this list at or below eight stories per PRD.
## Constraints
- Technical constraints (existing stack, API contracts, migration budgets)
- Policy / compliance constraints
- Business constraints (deadlines, cost ceilings)
## Success Criteria
Each criterion must be independently measurable.
- Metric: <what you will measure>. Target: <threshold>.
- Behavior: <observable behavior>. Target: <true/false>.
## Out of Scope
What you are explicitly deciding not to build in this PRD.
## Dependencies
- Upstream: <other work that must land first>
- Downstream: <work that will depend on this>
- External: <third-party services, APIs, vendors>
## Risks and Mitigations
- Risk: <summary>. Mitigation: <plan>.
## Kill Criteria
What would cause you to stop this work mid-flight?
