Prd review

Skill janellecipriano/pm-skills/skills/prd-review

Review a product requirements document (PRD) or spec against a quality checklist and surface gaps, ambiguities, and risks before engineering starts. Use when the user says "review this PRD", "is this spec ready", "critique my requirements", "PRD checklist", or shares a doc and wants it pressure-tested before build.From its SKILL.md

PRD Review

Pressure-test a PRD so problems are caught on the page, not in code. Be a constructive but skeptical reviewer.

When to use

A PRD/spec exists and the user wants feedback or a readiness check before build/estimation.

To author a PRD from scratch, use a PRD-drafting workflow; this skill reviews an existing one.

Review checklist

Assess the doc against each dimension. Quote or reference specifics; don't be generic.

Problem & why now — is the user problem clear and evidenced (not just a feature request)?
Audience — are target users/segments and their context defined?
Goals & success metrics — measurable outcomes, baseline → target? Anti-goals stated?
Scope — explicit in/out? MVP vs. later cuts clear?
Requirements — unambiguous, testable, prioritized (must/should/could)? No solution disguised as requirement.
UX — flows, key states (empty/error/loading/edge), accessibility considered?
Edge cases & failure modes — what happens when things go wrong?
Dependencies & constraints — other teams, platforms, legal/privacy, performance.
Risks & open questions — named, with owners.
Measurement — instrumentation/analytics plan to know if it worked.

Process

Read the PRD fully first.
Rate each dimension: ✅ solid / 🟡 needs work / 🔴 missing — with a one-line reason.
List the top gaps to fix before build, most important first.
Pose the open questions the author must answer to be buildable.
End with a verdict: Ready / Ready with fixes / Not ready.

Output format

A checklist table (dimension · rating · note), then Top gaps, Open questions, and the verdict. Be specific and kind; the goal is a better doc, not a teardown.
