description: PRD template and authoring rules for Foreman. Synthesizes a PRD from the approved plan and the grilled decisions and writes it as a local file in the Foreman feature directory. Does not interview the user and does not publish to any external issue tracker.

foreman-to-prd

(Adapted from mattpocock/skills `to-prd` — see NOTICE. Removed: live "check with the user" seam confirmation and the GitHub publish + `ready-for-agent` label step. Output is a local `prd.md` file, not a tracker post.)

This skill is the **PRD template authority**. The `foreman-grill-docs` skill calls it to produce `prd.md`. Synthesize from the approved plan, the codebase, and the grilled decisions — do NOT interview anyone.

Process

1. Explore the target repo to understand the current state, if you haven't. Use the project's domain glossary (`CONTEXT.md`) throughout, and respect ADRs in the area you're touching.

2. Identify the **seams** at which the feature will be tested. Prefer existing seams; use the highest seam possible. If a new seam is needed, propose it at the highest point you can — and if whether that seam is acceptable is a genuine product/architecture call you cannot settle from the code, add it to the `## Open questions for reviewer` block rather than asking interactively.

3. Write `prd.md` into the feature directory using the template below. Begin the file with the open-questions block (see `foreman-grill-docs`). Do not publish anywhere and do not apply any labels.

<prd-template>

Open questions for reviewer

<unresolved product/architecture questions, or "_None — all resolved._">

Problem Statement

The problem the user is facing, from the user's perspective.

Solution

The solution to the problem, from the user's perspective.

User Stories

A LONG, numbered list of user stories, each: `As an <actor>, I want a <feature>, so that <benefit>`. Extremely extensive — cover all aspects of the feature. These stories are the basis for the slicer (`foreman-to-issues`) and for the e2e flows, so make each one concrete and verifiable.

User Flows

For each end-to-end flow a user can perform, list the ordered steps and the observable outcome. These flows are what Foreman's e2e phase will turn into automated tests, so be precise about preconditions, steps, and expected results.

Implementation Decisions

Modules built/modified, interfaces changed, technical clarifications, architectural decisions, schema changes, API contracts, specific interactions. No file paths or code snippets (they go stale) — *exception*: a prototype-derived snippet that encodes a decision more precisely than prose (state machine, reducer, schema, type shape) may be inlined, trimmed to the decision-rich parts.

Testing Decisions

What makes a good test here (test external behavior, not implementation details); which modules will be tested; prior art for the tests (similar tests already in the codebase); the test/lint/typecheck commands Foreman will run to verify work.

Out of Scope

What is explicitly not part of this PRD.

Further Notes

Anything else worth recording.
