Full Stack PRD Guide for Vibe Coders 📝 https://github.com/cpjet64/vibecoding/blob/main/prd-guide.md Hey Vibe Coders! To help with product definition and avoid scope creep, here’s a guide for creating effective Product Requirements Documents (PRDs). Step 1: Create a "prd.md" Document 📋 Make a markdown file named "prd.md" as your product roadmap. A template is available at the end. Step 2: Document Each Product Component ⚙️ For each component (user flows, features, interfaces): - Key functionality (e.g., authentication) - User stories/acceptance criteria - Technical constraints - Priority level (must-have, should-have, nice-to-have) Step 3: Add Overall Product Metrics 📊 Key success metrics to document: - Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) - User acquisition and retention rates - Conversion goals - Engagement benchmarks Step 4: Consult Advanced AI 🤖 Engage in detailed discussions with AI like ChatGPT 4.5 or Claude 3.7. Discuss various aspects of your PRD, challenge assumptions, and gather insights. PRD Principles to Remember 🔑 - Focus on the WHAT, not the HOW - Requirements should be measurable - Link each feature to a user need - Prioritize to prevent scope creep Recommended PRD Components 🛠️ Include sections such as: - Product vision/goals - User personas/maps - Feature breakdowns - Non-functional requirements - Metrics/analytics plans - User research insights User Research Integration 💻👥 Incorporate user research by documenting: - User pain points/needs - User quotes/inspiration - User segments and distinct requirements - Edge cases and accessibility requirements - Testing plans for validation Feature Prioritization 🎯 Use frameworks like MoSCoW, RICE scoring, and ROI analysis to prioritize features. Stakeholder Management 👥 Document approval processes, feedback loops, and change management procedures. Establish communication plans. Product Analytics & Measurement 📊 Define success metrics, instrument tracking, and set up reporting for user behavior. User Experience Design 🎨 Link your PRD to user experience through flow diagrams, UI requirements, accessibility, and performance expectations. Technical Considerations 🔧 Align product requirements with technical planning, covering API needs, security, and third-party dependencies. Release Planning & Timeline 📅 Plan your release strategy, milestones, timelines, testing phases, and post-launch monitoring. Keep your products well-defined and focused! ✌️ Document Versions Latest versions of this guide are available on GitHub and X.com.
