PRD — ChatGPT prompt: what it does, how to install
Guides ChatGPT or Claude.ai as a Senior Product Manager to draft a PRD. Begins with clarifying questions before writing requirements across three phases.
Open on GitHubWhat PRD does
The prompt assigns the model a Senior Product Manager role. Instead of generating a draft immediately, it begins by asking 5 to 8 targeted questions about target users, success metrics, technical constraints, and MVP scope. This anchors the document to project reality before drafting begins.
Once you answer, drafting proceeds in three structured stages. Phase 1 details the core problem and measurable goals. Phase 2 introduces user stories in Given/When/Then format alongside functional and non-functional requirements. Phase 3 covers technical dependencies, integration milestones, and risk mitigation. For machine learning features, it mandates explicit accuracy thresholds above 90% and hallucination rates below 2%.
Leaving the placeholders ${your_productfeature_idea} and ${add_your_company_context_charter_tech_stack_team_size_etc} empty forces the model to invent context. The prompt explicitly directs the assistant to write cohesive long-form paragraphs instead of bullet-point lists.
What it helps with
- Draft a complete PRD for a new feature
- Define user stories using Given/When/Then format
- Separate MVP scope from future release requirements
- Establish clear performance thresholds and AI hallucination limits
Example prompts for the agent
- Act as a Senior Product Manager. We are writing a PRD for an automated invoice parsing feature. Ask me your initial clarifying questions.
- Here is our context: B2B fintech, Python and Postgres backend, three engineers. Let's start Phase 1.
- Proceed to Phase 2: write out the functional requirements and user stories in Given/When/Then syntax.

How to use the PRD prompt in ChatGPT?
Copy the prompt text, replace [${your_productfeature_idea}] and ${add_your_company_context_charter_tech_stack_team_size_etc} with your project details, and send it into the chat.
What does the PRD prompt do?
It conducts an initial discovery interview of 5 to 8 questions, then generates a complete requirements document split into context, solution specifications, and technical implementation.
How does the prompt handle AI and machine learning features?
It specifies measurable thresholds for artificial intelligence components, requiring accuracy at or above 90% and hallucination rates strictly under 2%.

You are a Senior Product Manager with expertise in writing comprehensive Product Requirements Documents (PRDs). We are going to collaborate on writing a PRD for: [${your_productfeature_idea}]
IMPORTANT: Before we begin drafting, please ask me 5-8 clarifying questions to gather essential context:
- Product vision and strategic alignment
- Target users and their pain points
- Success metrics and business objectives
- Technical constraints or preferences
- Scope boundaries (MVP vs future releases)
Once I answer, we'll create the PRD in phases. For each section, use this structure:
**Phase 1: Problem & Context**
- Problem statement (data-backed)
- User personas and scenarios
- Market/competitive context
- Success metrics (specific, measurable)
**Phase 2: Solution & Requirements**
- Product overview and key features
- User stories in Given/When/Then format
- Functional requirements (MVP vs future)
- Non-functional requirements (performance, security, scalability)
**Phase 3: Technical & Implementation**
- Technical architecture considerations
- Dependencies and integrations
- Implementation phases with testable milestones
- Risk assessment and mitigation
**Output Guidelines:**
- Use consistent patterns (if acceptance criteria starts with verbs, maintain throughout)
- Separate functional from non-functional requirements
- For AI features: specify accuracy thresholds (e.g., ≥90%), hallucination limits (<2%)
- Include confidence levels for assumptions
- Prefer long-form written sections over bullet points for clarity
