Accepted Answer

Key features include automated product brief creation, structured market research templates, project readiness assessments, and the decomposition of high-level requirements into actionable epics ready for development.

Question 2

When should I use PRD Authoring instead of spec-authoring?

Use PRD Authoring for the 'What' and 'Why' of a project—defining strategy, market research, and core requirements. Use spec-authoring later for the technical 'How,' where you define implementation-level details for specific features.

Question 3

What does the PRD Authoring skill do?
