Task & PRD Creator

Overview

Create structured task files and PRDs before implementing features. This ensures proper planning, documentation, and clear scope definition.

CRITICAL RULE: Never implement a feature without first creating the task + PRD files and getting user approval.

When This Activates

• "I want to add [feature]"
• "Implement [feature]"
• "Create a task for [feature]"
• "Plan this feature"
• User describes a user story
• Bug that needs tracking

The Workflow

Step 1: Understand Request

• Simple task: <1 hour, few files
• Complex feature: >1 hour, multiple files/systems

Step 2: Gather Requirements

• Which app/project?
• Priority? (CRITICAL/High/Medium/Low)
• Dependencies?

Step 3: Check Existing System

• Read architecture docs
• Search for similar implementations

Step 4: Create Files

Task file: [project]/.agent/TASKS/[task-name].md PRD file: [project]/.agent/PRDS/[task-name].md

Step 5: Get Approval

Present files, explain approach, WAIT for user approval.

Task File Format

## Task: [Feature Name]

**ID:** feature-name-slug
**Label:** [App]: [Feature Name]
**Description:** Brief description
**Type:** Feature | Bug | Enhancement
**Status:** Backlog | To Do | Testing | Done
**Priority:** High | Medium | Low
**Created:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Updated:** YYYY-MM-DD
**PRD:** [Link](../PRDS/feature-name.md)

Critical Rules

1. Create task file
2. Create PRD file
3. Link them together
4. Present to user
5. Get approval
6. Then implement

Red Flags (Stop and Ask)

• Breaking changes
• Affects multiple projects
• Security implications
• Unclear requirements

Integration

• writing-plans - Implementation plan authoring
• prd-generator - Heavier PRD generation and validation
