Workflows

Generating a PRD or Epic

1. Gather Information: Ask the user for the high-level goal, target users, and key features if not provided.
2. Draft the Document: Use the MANDATORY TEMPLATE above. Do not skip any sections. If a section is empty, explicitly write "None".
3. Format: Use clear markdown formatting, nested lists, and bold text for readability.
4. Review & Refine: Check for ambiguity or untested assumptions. Ensure the MVP scope is clearly separated from "Future Scope" and "Out of Scope".
