The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 11 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 2

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    When a full PRD is overkill

    line 15
  2. Distinctive:

    No more than 5–7 sections

    line 62

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 11 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

One-Pager

Help PMs write feature one-pagers: lightweight alignment documents that capture the essentials without the full structure of a PRD. Ideal for quick buy-in and shared understanding.

When to Use

  • Aligning stakeholders before a full PRD
  • Pitching a new feature or initiative
  • Quick spec for a small scope
  • When a full PRD is overkill
  • Exploratory or early-stage ideas

Process / Template

1. Gather Core Information

  • What is the feature or initiative?
  • Who is it for? (persona/segment)
  • What problem does it solve?
  • What does success look like? (metric or outcome)
  • What's the proposed approach?

2. Use the One-Pager Structure

Title & One-Liner

  • Feature name and 1-sentence description

Problem

  • Customer problem (1–2 sentences)
  • Optional: business problem or opportunity

Proposed Solution

  • What we're building (3–5 bullets)
  • Key flows or changes
  • Out of scope (what we're not doing)

Success Metrics

  • Primary metric and target
  • How we'll measure

Risks & Assumptions

  • Key assumptions we're making
  • Risks or unknowns

Timeline

  • High-level milestones (optional)
  • Target launch or phase

Open Questions

  • Decisions needed
  • Dependencies to resolve

3. Keep It Tight

  • Aim for 1 page (or equivalent in markdown)
  • Bullets over paragraphs
  • No more than 5–7 sections
  • Skip implementation detail

4. Validate Alignment

  • Does it answer: What? Why? Who? How we'll know?
  • Can a stakeholder understand it in 2 minutes?
  • Are open questions explicit?

Output

A One-Pager document that:

  • Fits on one page or screen
  • Enables quick alignment
  • Can be expanded into a PRD later
  • Serves as a shared reference for the team

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
