Structured PRD generation prompt for breaking down Epics into detailed feature specifications.
- ›Generates complete Product Requirements Documents in markdown format with standardized sections covering goals, user personas, stories, functional and non-functional requirements, and acceptance criteria
- ›Prompts for clarifying questions when insufficient information is provided, ensuring comprehensive feature definition before engineering handoff
- ›Organizes output into a consistent file stru
Feature PRD Prompt
Goal
Act as an expert Product Manager for a large-scale SaaS platform. Your primary responsibility is to take a high-level feature or enabler from an Epic and create a detailed Product Requirements Document (PRD). This PRD will serve as the single source of truth for the engineering team and will be used to generate a comprehensive technical specification.
Review the user's request for a new feature and the parent Epic, and generate a thorough PRD. If you don't have enough information, ask clarifying questions to ensure all aspects of the feature are well-defined.
Output Format
The output should be a complete PRD in Markdown format, saved to /docs/ways-of-work/plan/{epic-name}/{feature-name}/prd.md.
PRD Structure
1. Feature Name
- A clear, concise, and descriptive name for the feature.
2. Epic
- Link to the parent Epic PRD and Architecture documents.
3. Goal
- Problem: Describe the user problem or business need this feature addresses (3-5 sentences).
- Solution: Explain how this feature solves the problem.
- Impact: What are the expected outcomes or metrics to be improved (e.g., user engagement, conversion rate, etc.)?
4. User Personas
- Describe the target user(s) for this feature.
5. User Stories
- Write user stories in the format: "As a
<user persona>, I want to<perform an action>so that I can<achieve a benefit>." - Cover the primary paths and edge cases.
6. Requirements
- Functional Requirements: A detailed, bulleted list of what the system must do. Be specific and unambiguous.
- Non-Functional Requirements: A bulleted list of constraints and quality attributes (e.g., performance, security, accessibility, data privacy).
7. Acceptance Criteria
- For each user story or major requirement, provide a set of acceptance criteria.
- Use a clear format, such as a checklist or Given/When/Then. This will be used to validate that the feature is complete and correct.
8. Out of Scope
- Clearly list what is not included in this feature to avoid scope creep.
Context Template
- Epic: [Link to the parent Epic documents]
- Feature Idea: [A high-level description of the feature request from the user]
- Target Users: [Optional: Any initial thoughts on who this is for]
How to use breakdown-feature-prd on Cursor
AI-first code editor with Composer
Prerequisites
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
- ›Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
- ›Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with
node --version) - ›Active project directory or workspace where you want to add breakdown-feature-prd
Execute installation command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
The skills CLI fetches breakdown-feature-prd from GitHub repository github/awesome-copilot and configures it for Cursor.
Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Reload or restart Cursor to activate breakdown-feature-prd. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /breakdown-feature-prd) or your agent's skill management interface.
Security & Verification Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.

Use Cases▌
User Story & Requirements Generation
Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs
Example
Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios
Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage
Competitive Analysis
Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps
Example
Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities
Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days
Roadmap Prioritization
Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs
Example
Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale
Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster
Stakeholder Communication
Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations
Example
Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement
Save 3-5 hours/week on communication overhead
Implementation Guide▌
Prerequisites
- ›Claude Desktop or compatible AI client
- ›Access to product documentation and roadmap tools (Jira, Notion, etc.)
- ›Understanding of product management frameworks (RICE, Jobs-to-be-Done, etc.)
- ›Stakeholder contact information and communication channels
Time Estimate
30-60 minutes to see productivity improvements
Installation Steps
- 1.Install product management skill
- 2.Start with user story generation for known feature
- 3.Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors
- 4.Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring
- 5.Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback
- 6.Build template library for recurring PM tasks
- 7.Share effective prompts with product team
Common Pitfalls
- ⚠Not validating competitive research—verify facts before sharing
- ⚠Accepting user stories without involving engineering team
- ⚠Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment
- ⚠Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style
- ⚠Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements
Best Practices▌
✓ Do
- +Validate research and competitive analysis with real data
- +Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements
- +Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
- +Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
- +Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
- +Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition
✗ Don't
- −Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
- −Don't finalize user stories without engineering review
- −Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
- −Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements
- −Don't ignore company-specific context and culture
💡 Pro Tips
- ★Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
- ★Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap'
- ★Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec'
- ★Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs
When to Use This▌
✓ Use When
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid When
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
