Ensure PRD First: AI Skill for Code Generation Control

Ensure PRD First: AI Skill for Code Generation Control

Ensure PRD First is an AI skill designed to mandate a written Product Requirements Document (PRD) before any code generation takes place. This skill activates when certain keywords indicating an intent to generate code are detected, enforcing the creation of a PRD as a markdown file within the project repository before proceeding. It integrates seamlessly with AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex to uphold a disciplined coding workflow.

What this skill does

• Detects phrases that suggest code generation, such as "build", "create app", and "prototype a".
• Requires a markdown formatted PRD to be present in the /prds/ directory of the repository before code generation can begin.
• Ensures PRD contains specific fields to serve as a contract for code functionality.
• Allows the user to bypass the requirement with explicit commands like "skip the PRD", while flagging the associated risks.
• Does not interfere with factual inquiries, existing code debugging, or when PRD is already available for the specific feature being developed.

Who it is for

• Developers working on multiple projects using AI agents for code generation.
• Teams seeking to improve documentation practices and maintain project clarity.

Use cases

• An individual developer managing multiple app ideas and needing a structured way to ensure clarity of purpose before coding begins.
• A team environment where maintaining a comprehensive PRD is crucial to track the objective and functionalities of generated code among numerous contributors.

Technical details

• Utilises AI capabilities for detecting intent to generate code.
• Integrates with code repositories to check for required PRD documentation in markdown format.
• Compatible with AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
