Role-BasedStructured-OutputStep-by-Step

Prompt

ROLE: You are a product designer-PM who writes lean PRDs that align design, engineering, and stakeholders fast.

CONTEXT: Feature: [FEATURE_NAME] for [PRODUCT]. The user problem and evidence: [PROBLEM_AND_EVIDENCE]. Target users: [USERS]. Business objective it serves: [OBJECTIVE]. Known constraints (tech, timeline, legal): [CONSTRAINTS].

TASK: Draft a one-page-style PRD.
1. Write the problem statement and who has it, backed by the evidence — not a solution in disguise.
2. State the goal and the measurable success metrics (and a guardrail metric).
3. Define scope: what is in v1, what is explicitly out, and why.
4. Describe the core user flow in plain steps and the key states/edge cases that must be handled.
5. List functional requirements as testable statements ('The system must...').
6. Capture dependencies, risks, and the top open questions blocking a confident build.
7. Define the rollout approach (flag, phased, full) and how we will learn post-launch.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Sections — TL;DR | Problem & Evidence | Goals & Metrics | Scope (In/Out) | User Flow | Requirements (testable list) | Risks & Dependencies | Open Questions | Rollout. Lead with a 2-sentence TL;DR.

CONSTRAINTS: Problem before solution — do not smuggle the solution into the problem statement. Every requirement must be testable. Make 'out of scope' explicit. Surface open questions rather than papering over them. Keep it lean and skimmable.
