PRD Stress Test

Run a multi-agent PRD review to answer: "Is this PRD ready to build?" Three reviewers analyze different dimensions in parallel, cross-reference findings, and deliver a consolidated review report.

Usage

/agent-teams:prd-stress-test path/to/prd.md

Overview

This command spawns three specialist reviewers to stress-test a PRD from different angles:

• market-fit-reviewer: Does this solve a real problem for a real market?
• feasibility-reviewer: Are the requirements clear and buildable?
• scope-reviewer: Is this appropriately sized for V1?

After parallel review, reviewers cross-reference findings to catch conflicts (e.g., scope-reviewer wants to cut a feature that market-fit-reviewer considers critical). The lead compiles everything into a consolidated review report with per-dimension scores and an actionable revision checklist.

What you get:

• Three independent review dimensions scored 1-5
• Blocking issues (must fix before building)
• Suggestions (nice to fix)
• Conflicts between reviewers
• Overall verdict: READY TO BUILD / NEEDS REVISION / MAJOR REWORK
• Specific revision checklist

Instructions

Pre-Flight Check

1. Verify Agent Teams is available in your Claude Code version. If teammates cannot be spawned, display:

   This command requires Claude Code's Agent Teams feature.
   Check https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code for setup instructions.
   

   If not available, stop.

2. Read the PRD file from the path in the "PRD to Review" section above.

   • If file not found, display error and stop:

     Error: PRD file not found at [path].
     Please provide a valid path to a PRD markdown file.

Phase 1: PRD Intake

1. Parse the PRD content and identify key sections (features, requirements, target users, etc.).

2. Check for existing product context:

   • Read .claude/product-context/product-info.md if it exists
   • Read .claude/product-context/competitive-landscape.md if it exists

3. Display briefing:

Phase 2: Parallel Review

Spawn 3 teammates simultaneously using Agent Teams:

Teammate 1: market-fit-reviewer

Prompt: "Review this PRD for market fit. Score 1-5.

PRD CONTENT:
[full PRD content]

[Include any product context found in Phase 1]

Your job: Evaluate target user clarity, problem validation, value proposition,
differentiation, and market context. Use your market-fit-reviewer expertise.

Deliver your review in the standard market-fit-reviewer output format.
Score 1-5 using the team-deliverables rubric."

Teammate 2: feasibility-reviewer

Prompt: "Review this PRD for technical feasibility and requirements clarity. Score 1-5.

PRD CONTENT:
[full PRD content]

Your job: Evaluate requirements clarity, acceptance criteria, technical
feasibility, edge cases, and integration points. Flag every ambiguity.
Use your feasibility-reviewer expertise.

Deliver your review in the standard feasibility-reviewer output format.
Score 1-5 using the team-deliverables rubric."

Teammate 3: scope-reviewer

Prompt: "Review this PRD for scope appropriateness. Score 1-5.

PRD CONTENT:
[full PRD content]

Your job: Assess total scope, classify every feature as MUST-HAVE / CUT FROM V1 /
DEFER TO V2, identify scope creep, and estimate effort reduction from cuts.
Use your scope-reviewer expertise. Apply the 3-Feature MVP Rule.

Deliver your review in the standard scope-reviewer output format.
Score 1-5 using the team-deliverables rubric."

Wait for all three reviewers to complete their reviews.

---

Phase 3: Cross-Reference

Send each reviewer the other two reviewers' findings to flag conflicts.

To market-fit-reviewer:

"Here are your fellow reviewers' findings. Flag any conflicts with your review.

FEASIBILITY REVIEW:
[feasibility-reviewer output]

SCOPE REVIEW:
[scope-reviewer output]

Specifically check:
- Are features you consider critical for differentiation marked 'CUT' by scope-reviewer?
- Do feasibility concerns affect market-critical features?
Flag conflicts and explain your position."

To feasibility-reviewer:

"Here are your fellow reviewers' findings. Flag any conflicts with your review.

MARKET FIT REVIEW:
[market-fit-reviewer output]

SCOPE REVIEW:
[scope-reviewer output]

Specifically check:
- Do features market-fit-reviewer considers critical have clear requirements?
- Do scope cuts remove technically risky components (positive) or create gaps?
Flag conflicts and explain your position."

To scope-reviewer:

"Here are your fellow reviewers' findings. Flag any conflicts with your review.

MARKET FIT REVIEW:
[market-fit-reviewer output]

FEASIBILITY REVIEW:
[feasibility-reviewer output]

Specifically check:
- Are features you marked 'CUT' considered critical by market-fit-reviewer?
- Do your cuts align with feasibility concerns?
Flag conflicts and explain your position. Be willing to reconsider cuts if
market-fit evidence is strong."

Wait for all three cross-reference responses.

Phase 4: Consolidated Report

As the lead agent, compile all findings into the PRD Review Report.

1. Read all review reports and cross-reference responses.

2. Invoke the team-deliverables skill for the PRD review report template.

3. Score each dimension using the rubrics from team-deliverables:

   • Market Fit (1-5): From market-fit-reviewer
   • Feasibility (1-5): From feasibility-reviewer
   • Scope (1-5): From scope-reviewer

4. Compile blocking issues from all three reviewers.

5. Document reviewer conflicts:

   • Where scope-reviewer and market-fit-reviewer disagree on cuts
   • Where feasibility-reviewer flags risks in market-critical features
   • Provide resolution recommendation for each conflict

6. Determine verdict:

   • READY TO BUILD: All scores 4+, no blocking issues, conflicts resolved
   • NEEDS REVISION: Average score 3+, blocking issues are fixable, no fundamental problems
   • MAJOR REWORK: Any score below 2, or fundamental problems across dimensions

7. Generate revision checklist:

   • Must Fix (Blocking): Issues from all reviewers marked as blocking
   • Should Fix (Important): Non-blocking but significant improvements
   • Nice to Fix (Polish): Minor improvements

8. Present the completed report to the user.

Phase 5: Cleanup

1. Shut down all three teammates.

2. Display completion:

PRD stress test complete.

Verdict: [READY TO BUILD / NEEDS REVISION / MAJOR REWORK]
Scores: Market Fit [X]/5 | Feasibility [X]/5 | Scope [X]/5

[If NEEDS REVISION or MAJOR REWORK]:
Use the revision checklist above to address the findings,
then run the stress test again to verify.

Error Handling

• If a reviewer fails to produce output, note the gap in the report and proceed with available reviews.
• If the PRD is very short or missing major sections, note this upfront but still run the review (the reviews will surface the gaps).
• If the PRD file is not markdown, attempt to read it anyway and note any parsing issues.
