All examples for PRD Completeness Validator

Placeholder PRD (Edge Case)

A TODO placeholder with scattered thoughts instead of structured PRD content. Shows how the validator handles edge cases by scoring 0/12 and providing a complete roadmap to build a proper PRD.

Input

What you provide to the skill

TODO

Fill this in later. Build something. Need search maybe? Questions: should we do voice search? When is this due?

Output

What the skill generates for you

PRD Completeness Analysis

Overall Score: 0/12 weighted (0%)
Breakdown: 0 complete, 0 weak, 12 missing
Status: INCOMPLETE - This is a placeholder, not a PRD

Complete Sections (0)

None. The document contains only a TODO note with scattered thoughts.

Missing Sections (12)

1. Problem Statement - MISSING

Issue: No clear problem definition exists
Impact: Team won’t understand what user pain this solves
Questions to Answer:

  • What specific problem are users experiencing?
  • What evidence supports this problem?
  • What’s the cost of not solving this?

2. Target Users / Personas - MISSING

Issue: No user segments or personas defined
Impact: Can’t prioritize features, design won’t be targeted

3. Proposed Solution - MISSING

Issue: Only vague hints (“Build something. Need search maybe?”)
Impact: Engineering can’t estimate, stakeholders can’t evaluate

4. User Stories / Use Cases - MISSING

Issue: No acceptance criteria or user scenarios
Impact: Unclear what “done” looks like

5. Success Metrics - MISSING

Issue: No way to measure success
Impact: Can’t prove ROI or iterate based on data

6. Technical Requirements - MISSING

Issue: Only “Elasticsearch or what?” - no specs
Impact: Engineering can’t estimate or architect

7. Edge Cases & Error Handling - MISSING

Issue: No failure scenario consideration
Impact: Poor UX in error states

8. Dependencies - MISSING

Issue: No external blockers identified
Impact: Launch delays, unexpected blockers

9. Timeline / Milestones - MISSING

Issue: “When is this due?” is unresolved
Impact: Can’t plan resources

10. Risks & Mitigation - MISSING

Issue: No risk assessment
Impact: No contingency plans

11. Stakeholders - MISSING

Issue: No ownership defined
Impact: Unclear who decides open questions

12. Open Questions - MISSING

Issue: Questions embedded in TODO, not tracked
Impact: Decisions made implicitly

Recommendations

IMMEDIATE (Before This Can Be Called a PRD):

  1. Answer Open Questions (1-2 hours)

    • Voice search: In scope or out?
    • Deadline: When is this due?
    • Technology: What search engine?
  2. Define Problem & Success Metrics (1 hour)

    • What user pain does this solve?
    • How will we measure success?
  3. Draft Proposed Solution (1.5 hours)

    • Core features vs. out of scope
    • User flow and technology stack

BEFORE STAKEHOLDER REVIEW:
4. User Stories & Acceptance Criteria (1 hour)
5. Technical Requirements (1.5 hours)
6. Edge Cases & Error Handling (45 min)
7. Dependencies & Risks (1 hour)
8. Timeline & Stakeholders (45 min)

Estimated Total Time: 8-10 hours to transform to complete PRD
Benefit: Avoid 4-6 review rounds, prevent scope creep
Priority: CRITICAL - This is not yet a PRD

NEXT STEPS:

  1. Schedule 30-min session to answer open questions
  2. Block 2 hours to draft Problem, Solution, Success Metrics
  3. Share initial draft for feedback, then complete remaining sections
