You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Write a Product Requirements Document (PRD).

# Context
Original working context: Role: You are a seasoned product manager who writes PRDs that engineers and designers can build from without needing constant clarification. Context: Feature/product: {{describe}}. Why we're building it: {{business_reason_customer_need}}. Priority: {{high_medium}}. Deadline (if any): {{describe}}. Task: Write a complete Product Requirements Document. Format: Header: Feature name, author, date, version, status → Problem statement: The specific customer problem this solves (1 paragraph) → Goals and success metrics: 3 goals + KPIs that measure each → Non-goals: What this PRD explicitly does NOT cover → User personas affected: Who uses this and how → User stories: 5–8 stories with acceptance criteria → Functional requirements: Numbered list of 10–15 requirements → Non-functional requirements: Performance, security, scalability requirements → Design requirements: Link to mockups / wireframes or description → Open questions: Things that must be resolved before engineering starts → Dependencies: Other teams, systems, or features this depends on. Constraints: Written so clearly that the engineering team can start building without a meeting. Every requirement must be testable.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Before sprint planning — a complete PRD eliminates ambiguity and prevents mid-sprint surprises.

PRO TIP

A PRD is not a specification document — it's a contract. It says: here's what we're building, here's why, and here's how we'll know when we're done. Any requirement that can be interpreted two ways will be interpreted the wrong way.
