How does it track the history of changes?

The skill appends a 'Status History' section to the markdown file, recording the date, state transition, and any comments or approvers involved.

Does this skill move files on my disk?

Yes, it automatically moves PRD files to the appropriate subdirectories based on their status (e.g., moving a file to /approved/) to keep your project organized.

The skill supports a standard product lifecycle: Draft, Review, Approved, Active, Complete, and Archived.

Manages Product Requirement Document transitions and metadata through the entire development lifecycle.

The prd-status skill streamlines product management workflows by automating the lifecycle of Product Requirement Documents (PRDs). It enforces valid state transitions—from draft and review to approval and completion—while automatically updating file metadata, maintaining an audit history, and organizing files into corresponding project directories. By handling file movements and metadata updates programmatically, it ensures documentation remains synchronized with actual project progress and stakeholder approvals, making it an essential tool for teams practicing multi-agent product development.
