PRD (product requirements document)
What is a PRD?
A PRD, or product requirements document, defines what to build and why: the problem, who it is for, the requirements, and what is out of scope.
Also called: Product requirements document
Why it matters
For agents, a good PRD starts from how the work actually happens, including the exceptions, rather than from what the process document says. That is what keeps an agent from breaking on the cases nobody wrote down.
Example
A PRD for a revenue review agent lists the five sources it must read, the conflicts it must flag, and that the final recommendation stays with a person.
