Transforms Product Requirements Documents into structured, actionable tasks with automatic complexity analysis and technology research. Parses markdown PRDs, extracts features, scores complexity, researches technologies, and generates implementation roadmap.
/plugin marketplace add jrc1883/popkit-claude/plugin install popkit-dev@popkit-claudeinheritTransform Product Requirements Documents into structured, actionable implementation plans with automatic complexity analysis and technology research. This agent demonstrates seamless integration between PopKit features (complexity analyzer, research provider, TodoWrite, GitHub issues).
Example:
š prd-parser T:15 P:60% | Features: 12 | Complexity: 5.8/10
Parse PRD structure and extract features:
Read PRD document
from popkit_shared.utils.prd_parser import parse_prd_file
result = parse_prd_file(prd_path)
Validate structure
Extract metadata
Automatic - happens during parsing, user doesn't see this:
# PRD parser automatically invokes complexity analyzer
# for each feature during parse_prd_file()
for feature in result.features:
# Already has complexity_score and complexity_analysis
# from automatic integration
pass
Output to user:
Automatic research for unfamiliar technologies:
# Identify technologies that need research
for tech in result.technologies:
if tech.should_research:
# Research via WebSearch
research_query = f"{tech.name} {tech.version or ''} overview best practices 2026"
# Store research results
tech.research_notes = research_results
Technologies to research:
Skip research for:
Generate structured tasks with proper breakdown:
Build TodoWrite list
todos = []
for feature in result.features:
# Only top-level features (H2)
if feature.level == 2:
todos.append({
"content": f"{feature.title} (Complexity: {feature.complexity_score}/10)",
"status": "pending",
"activeForm": f"Implementing {feature.title}",
"metadata": {
"complexity": feature.complexity_score,
"subtasks": feature.complexity_analysis["recommended_subtasks"],
"risks": feature.complexity_analysis["risk_factors"],
"phases": feature.complexity_analysis["phase_distribution"]
}
})
# Write todos
TodoWrite(todos=todos)
Generate implementation order
Create detailed breakdown file
.workspace/prd-breakdown-<name>.mdAsk user first:
Create GitHub issues for features?
Options:
1. All features - Create issue for each top-level feature
2. HIGH priority only - Only complexity >= 7
3. Skip for now - Just keep the breakdown
If user selects option 1 or 2:
# Create issues with proper formatting
for feature in selected_features:
gh issue create \
--title "[Feature] ${feature.title}" \
--body "$(generate_issue_body $feature)" \
--label "feature,prd-parsed,complexity-${feature.complexity_level}"
Use structured planning output:
š PRD PARSER COMPLETE
## Document Analyzed
**PRD:** <document title>
**Path:** <file path>
**Features:** 12 identified (4 LOW, 6 MEDIUM, 2 HIGH)
## Complexity Analysis
**Average Complexity:** 5.8/10
**Distribution:**
- LOW (1-3): 4 features - Quick wins, start here
- MEDIUM (4-6): 6 features - Foundation building
- HIGH (7-10): 2 features - Requires planning
**Highest Complexity:**
1. User Authentication (8/10) - security_critical, breaking_changes
2. Real-time Collaboration (7/10) - integration_complexity, architecture_impact
## Technologies Researched (via WebSearch)
### Next.js 15 (researched)
- Server Actions stable in production
- Partial Prerendering enabled by default
- Enhanced caching with new APIs
- Turbopack stable for dev/build
- Best practices: Use Server Components by default, minimize client JS
### Prisma ORM (from existing knowledge)
- Schema-first approach
- Strong TypeScript integration
- Migration management built-in
### Redis (from existing knowledge)
- In-memory data structure store
- Common use: session management, caching

**Phase 3: Complex Features (HIGH complexity)**
11. User Authentication (8/10) - 6-9 subtasks, 5-7 days
- Risk factors: security_critical, breaking_changes
- Requires: Security review, OAuth integration, JWT implementation
12. Real-time Collaboration (7/10) - 5-7 subtasks, 4-6 days
- Risk factors: integration_complexity, architecture_impact
- Requires: WebSocket setup, conflict resolution, state sync
## Generated Artifacts

- Complete feature list with complexity scores
- Technology research notes
- Implementation recommendations
2. **TodoWrite List:** 12 tasks created and ready
- Each task includes complexity, subtasks, risks

## Integration Points
### Complexity Analyzer Integration
**Automatic invocation during parsing:**
```python
# In prd_parser.py, during parse_file():
from popkit_shared.utils.complexity_scoring import get_complexity_analyzer
analyzer = get_complexity_analyzer()
for feature in features:
analysis = analyzer.analyze(
feature.description,
metadata={
"acceptance_criteria": feature.acceptance_criteria,
"dependencies": feature.dependencies
}
)
feature.complexity_score = analysis.complexity_score
feature.complexity_analysis = analysis.to_dict()
Benefits:
Automatic research for new technologies:
For each technology where should_research == True:
1. Use WebSearch tool
2. Query: "{tech} {version} overview best practices 2026"
3. Extract key points
4. Store in tech.research_notes
5. Include in final output
Research triggers:
Skip research for:
Automatic task list generation:
# After parsing and analysis, generate todos
todos = []
for feature in top_level_features: # Only H2 headers
todos.append({
"content": f"{feature.title} (Complexity: {feature.complexity_score}/10)",
"status": "pending",
"activeForm": f"Implementing {feature.title}",
# Include complexity analysis metadata for downstream use
})
TodoWrite(todos=todos)
Benefits:
/popkit:dev workflowsOptional bulk issue creation:
# For each selected feature (after user confirmation)
gh issue create \
--title "[Feature] User Authentication" \
--body "$(cat <<EOF
## Overview
Implement secure user authentication system.
## Complexity Analysis
- Score: 8/10 (Complex)
- Subtasks: 6-9 recommended
- Risk factors: security_critical, breaking_changes
## Acceptance Criteria
- User can login with email/password
- OAuth integration (Google, GitHub)
- JWT token with refresh rotation
## Technology Stack
- Next.js 15 App Router

- Redis for sessions
## Implementation Phases
1. Discovery (1 subtask)
2. Architecture (2 subtasks)
3. Implementation (4 subtasks)
4. Testing (2 subtasks)
5. Review (1 subtask)
## Recommended Approach
Start with basic email/password auth, then add OAuth, finally implement refresh token rotation.
