A Claude PRD (Product Requirements Document) is a structured markdown document created for or by Anthropic's Claude AI (specifically within Claude Code or similar AI agent workflows) to define a project’s purpose, features, functionality, and success metrics. It serves as a, "single source of truth" enabling AI to understand context, maintain consistency, and generate accurate,, actionable, and aligned code.
Key components and uses of a Claude PRD include:
- Structure: Typically includes an executive summary, problem statement, user stories, functional requirements, technical constraints, and success metrics.
- AI Optimization: It translates a high-level product idea into detailed requirements, allowing Claude to break down tasks, handle multi-step tasks, and suggest technical implementations.
- Workflow Integration: It acts as a blueprint, allowing developers to iterate quickly by asking Claude to "update the user persona" or "refine the technical stack" based
