# create-prp

Builds a Product Requirement Prompt by reading your docs and code, searching the web for examples, and writing an implementation guide.

## What it does

The command walks the agent through five stages: review the docs in `ai_docs/`, search the web for library references and working examples, study the `base_template_v1` template and any PRPs already written, explore the codebase for patterns and integration points, then merge everything into one document. The output follows `concept_library/cc_PRP_flow/PRPs/base_template_v1`, and the command locates existing PRPs under `concept_library/cc_PRP_flow/PRPs/` on its own.

What you get is more than a spec. A PRP carries file-level references, web resources, validation criteria and success metrics. The author sums up the idea as PRD plus curated codebase intelligence plus an agent runbook — the smallest packet an AI needs to ship production-ready code on the first pass.

Pass a feature description as the argument, or switch modes with `--research`, `--template` and `--validate`. Tool access is limited to `Read`, `Write`, `Edit`, `WebSearch`, `Grep` and `Glob`; there is no Bash, so nothing runs in your shell. The documentation and template stages need `ai_docs/` and `concept_library/cc_PRP_flow/` to exist — without them the research has nothing to stand on, so set up the structure first.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --command project-management/create-prp
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/create-prp.md` — Call it with /create-prp. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/create-prp.md` — Call it with /prompts:create-prp. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/create-prp.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/create-prp.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates/tree/HEAD/cli-tool/components/commands/project-management/create-prp.md

## When to use it
- pull feature requirements into one document before coding starts
- find library docs and implementation examples on the web
- map existing code into patterns and integration points
- define validation criteria and success metrics up front
- hand the agent enough context to ship working code on the first pass

## Example prompts
- Create a PRP for CSV report export
- Run create-prp --research for the payments integration
- Use create-prp --validate on the PRP I already wrote

# Create Product Requirement Prompt

Create comprehensive Product Requirement Prompt (PRP) following structured research process: **$ARGUMENTS**

## PRP Foundation

- Base template: @concept_library/cc_PRP_flow/PRPs/base_template_v1
- PRP concept: @concept_library/cc_PRP_flow/README.md
- Existing PRPs: !`find concept_library/cc_PRP_flow/PRPs/ -name "*.md" | head -5`
- Documentation: @ai_docs/ directory analysis

## Task

Develop comprehensive PRP through systematic research and structured documentation:

**Research Process**:
1. **Documentation Review** - Analyze existing ai_docs/ and project documentation
2. **Web Research** - Gather implementation examples, library docs, and best practices
3. **Template Analysis** - Study base_template_v1 structure and existing PRPs
4. **Codebase Exploration** - Identify patterns, dependencies, and integration points
5. **Context Synthesis** - Compile comprehensive implementation context

**PRP Development**:
- Follow base_template_v1 structure exactly
- Include specific file references and web resources
- Provide curated codebase intelligence
- Define clear validation criteria and success metrics
- Create production-ready implementation guide

**Remember**: PRP = PRD + curated codebase intelligence + agent/runbook—the minimum viable packet an AI needs to ship production-ready code on the first pass.
