foreman-to-prd

(Adapted from mattpocock/skills to-prd — see NOTICE. Removed: live "check with the user" seam confirmation and the GitHub publish + ready-for-agent label step. Output is a local prd.md file, not a tracker post.)

This skill is the PRD template authority. The foreman-grill-docs skill calls it to produce prd.md. Synthesize from the approved plan, the codebase, and the grilled decisions — do NOT interview anyone.

Process

1. Explore the target repo to understand the current state, if you haven't. Use the project's domain glossary (CONTEXT.md) throughout, and respect ADRs in the area you're touching.

2. Identify the seams at which the feature will be tested. Prefer existing seams; use the highest seam possible. If a new seam is needed, propose it at the highest point you can — and if whether that seam is acceptable is a genuine product/architecture call you cannot settle from the code, add it to the ## Open questions for reviewer block rather than asking interactively.

3. Write prd.md into the feature directory using the template below. Begin the file with the open-questions block (see foreman-grill-docs). Do not publish anywhere and do not apply any labels.

Open questions for reviewer

<unresolved product/architecture questions, or "None — all resolved.">

Problem Statement

The problem the user is facing, from the user's perspective.

Solution

The solution to the problem, from the user's perspective.

User Stories

A LONG, numbered list of user stories, each: As an <actor>, I want a <feature>, so that <benefit>. Extremely extensive — cover all aspects of the feature. These stories are the basis for the slicer (foreman-to-issues) and for the e2e flows, so make each one concrete and verifiable.

User Flows

For each end-to-end flow a user can perform, list the ordered steps and the observable outcome. These flows are what Foreman's e2e phase will turn into automated tests, so be precise about preconditions, steps, and expected results.

Implementation Decisions

Modules built/modified, interfaces changed, technical clarifications, architectural decisions, schema changes, API contracts, specific interactions. No file paths or code snippets (they go stale) — exception: a prototype-derived snippet that encodes a decision more precisely than prose (state machine, reducer, schema, type shape) may be inlined, trimmed to the decision-rich parts.

Testing Decisions

What makes a good test here (test external behavior, not implementation details); which modules will be tested; prior art for the tests (similar tests already in the codebase); the test/lint/typecheck commands Foreman will run to verify work.

Out of Scope

What is explicitly not part of this PRD.

Further Notes
