What is the 'land then expand' approach?

It is a methodology that prioritizes creating a minimal core version of a feature first to establish patterns and working code before layering on complexity in subsequent expansion PRDs.

How does it handle existing project context?

For expansion PRDs, the skill automatically reads previous PRD metadata and analyzes actual implementation files to ensure naming conventions and architectural patterns remain consistent.

Can I use it for technical debt or migrations?

Yes, the 'Task-based Change' mode is specifically designed for infrastructure updates, migrations, optimizations, and refactoring tasks that don't follow a traditional feature structure.

Where are the PRD files stored?

All generated PRDs and their associated context JSON files are organized and stored within the .claude/prds/ directory of your project.

Does this skill require specific project files?

Yes, it requires a CLAUDE.md file in your project root to ensure all generated requirements align with your specific project conventions and tech stack.

Content Management

Generates structured Product Requirement Documents using a 'land then expand' approach to maintain architectural consistency and development focus.

About

The plan-prd skill streamlines the product planning process by guiding users through the creation of Core, Expansion, or Task-based PRDs. By prioritizing a minimal foundation first, it prevents token bloat and ensures that subsequent feature expansions remain consistent with established patterns. It automatically integrates project conventions from CLAUDE.md and historical context from previously implemented features, providing a seamless bridge between high-level planning and production-ready code implementation.

Key Features

Validation against project-specific conventions defined in CLAUDE.md
Interactive requirement gathering using structured CLI prompts
Support for Core foundations, focused Expansions, and technical Task-based changes
Automatic context loading from previous PRDs and implementation files
Incremental 'Land then Expand' workflow for focused feature development
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Documenting technical migrations, refactors, or infrastructure changes as discrete tasks
Expanding existing modules with new functionality while maintaining code consistency
Planning a new feature from scratch while establishing clean architectural patterns
