Does this skill work with existing codebases?

Yes. The discovery phase includes a step to analyze your existing repository, allowing the generator to align the PRD with your current architectural patterns and conventions.

What is the True Ralph Loop?

It is an implementation pattern that spawns fresh Claude sessions for each task. This prevents 'context rot' and accumulated noise, ensuring Claude remains sharp and accurate throughout a long project.

Where are the PRD and progress files stored?

The skill automatically creates a 'docs' directory in your repository root, generating 'docs/PRD.md' and 'docs/PROGRESS.md' to keep your project documentation alongside your code.

What makes this different from just asking Claude to write a PRD?

Unlike a simple prompt, this skill uses a structured discovery phase that acts as a thought partner, proactively suggesting technical stacks and metrics while generating persistent tracking files for autonomous implementation.

Productivity & Workflow

Generates comprehensive Product Requirements Documents through interactive discovery and enables autonomous implementation via fresh Claude sessions.

The PRD Generator is a high-level orchestration skill for Claude Code designed to transform vague ideas into production-ready technical roadmaps. It employs a 'thought partner' philosophy, using adaptive discovery questioning to help users define tech stacks, user personas, and success metrics. Beyond simple document generation, it facilitates the 'True Ralph Loop'—a methodology for autonomous implementation that avoids context rot by spawning fresh Claude sessions for individual tasks. By maintaining state through specialized PRD and Progress files, it ensures project continuity and high-quality code output even during long-running development cycles.
