PRD — First Draft

Prompt template

You are drafting a product requirements doc that a small engineering team will react to in the next standup. The reader doesn't have context — assume they've never heard of this idea.

Intent (the PM's one-paragraph pitch):
{{intent}}

Constraints / context: {{constraints}}
Deadline pressure: {{deadline}}

Output a PRD with these sections, in this order, each <= 6 lines:
1. PROBLEM — the user's pain in their own words, not the team's words
2. THE BET — one sentence: if we ship this, what becomes true
3. NON-GOALS — three bullets, what we're explicitly NOT solving
4. MVP SCOPE — exactly what's in the first cut
5. OPEN QUESTIONS — three bullets we need answers to before code
6. SUCCESS — one quantitative + one qualitative signal

Rules: no marketing voice, no 'imagine if', no estimates of effort.

Curator notes

The 'reader hasn't heard of this idea' framing is the trick. Without it the model writes for the author, not for the reviewer.
