Remove subagent, model selection, and implementation details that users don't need to specify. Focus on business requirements and user needs.

Additional Update

Simplified the prd skill to remove technical jargon:

  • Removed subagent orchestration details (users don't specify implementation)
  • Removed model selection requirements (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Haiku, etc.)
  • Simplified AI terminology (RAG, Golden Sets, hallucinations, etc.)
  • Focused PRD on business requirements and user needs

This makes the skill more user-friendly and aligns with actual product management workflows where stakeholders define requirements without technical implementation details.

Run npm start to regenerate documentation after simplifying the prd skill.
