Generates Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) for features via clarifying questions on goals, users, and scope. Structures into user stories, requirements; saves to tasks/prd-[feature].md.
From ralph-skillsnpx claudepluginhub snarktank/ralph --plugin ralph-skillsThis skill uses the workspace's default tool permissions.
Designs and optimizes AI agent action spaces, tool definitions, observation formats, error recovery, and context for higher task completion rates.
Implements structured self-debugging workflow for AI agent failures: capture errors, diagnose patterns like loops or context overflow, apply contained recoveries, and generate introspection reports.
Compares coding agents like Claude Code and Aider on custom YAML-defined codebase tasks using git worktrees, measuring pass rate, cost, time, and consistency.
Create detailed Product Requirements Documents that are clear, actionable, and suitable for implementation.

Ask only critical questions where the initial prompt is ambiguous. Focus on:
1. What is the primary goal of this feature?
A. Improve user onboarding experience
B. Increase user retention
C. Reduce support burden
D. Other: [please specify]
2. Who is the target user?
A. New users only
B. Existing users only
C. All users
D. Admin users only
3. What is the scope?
A. Minimal viable version
B. Full-featured implementation
C. Just the backend/API
D. Just the UI
This lets users respond with "1A, 2C, 3B" for quick iteration. Remember to indent the options.
Generate the PRD with these sections:

.md)tasks/prd-[feature-name].md (kebab-case)# PRD: Task Priority System
## Introduction
Add priority levels to tasks so users can focus on what matters most. Tasks can be marked as high, medium, or low priority, with visual indicators and filtering to help users manage their workload effectively.
## Goals
- Allow assigning priority (high/medium/low) to any task
- Provide clear visual differentiation between priority levels
- Enable filtering and sorting by priority
- Default new tasks to medium priority
## User Stories
### US-001: Add priority field to database
**Description:** As a developer, I need to store task priority so it persists across sessions.
**Acceptance Criteria:**
- [ ] Add priority column to tasks table: 'high' | 'medium' | 'low' (default 'medium')
- [ ] Generate and run migration successfully
- [ ] Typecheck passes
### US-002: Display priority indicator on task cards
**Description:** As a user, I want to see task priority at a glance so I know what needs attention first.
**Acceptance Criteria:**
- [ ] Each task card shows colored priority badge (red=high, yellow=medium, gray=low)
- [ ] Priority visible without hovering or clicking
- [ ] Typecheck passes
- [ ] Verify in browser using dev-browser skill
### US-003: Add priority selector to task edit
**Description:** As a user, I want to change a task's priority when editing it.
**Acceptance Criteria:**
- [ ] Priority dropdown in task edit modal
- [ ] Shows current priority as selected
- [ ] Saves immediately on selection change
- [ ] Typecheck passes
- [ ] Verify in browser using dev-browser skill
### US-004: Filter tasks by priority
**Description:** As a user, I want to filter the task list to see only high-priority items when I'm focused.
**Acceptance Criteria:**
- [ ] Filter dropdown with options: All | High | Medium | Low
- [ ] Filter persists in URL params
- [ ] Empty state message when no tasks match filter
- [ ] Typecheck passes
- [ ] Verify in browser using dev-browser skill
## Functional Requirements
- FR-1: Add `priority` field to tasks table ('high' | 'medium' | 'low', default 'medium')
- FR-2: Display colored priority badge on each task card
- FR-3: Include priority selector in task edit modal
- FR-4: Add priority filter dropdown to task list header
- FR-5: Sort by priority within each status column (high to medium to low)
## Non-Goals
- No priority-based notifications or reminders
- No automatic priority assignment based on due date
- No priority inheritance for subtasks
## Technical Considerations
- Reuse existing badge component with color variants
- Filter state managed via URL search params
- Priority stored in database, not computed
## Success Metrics
- Users can change priority in under 2 clicks
- High-priority tasks immediately visible at top of lists
- No regression in task list performance
## Open Questions
- Should priority affect task ordering within a column?
- Should we add keyboard shortcuts for priority changes?
