/code-to-prd
Reverse-engineer a frontend codebase into a complete Product Requirements Document.
Usage
/code-to-prd # Analyze current project
/code-to-prd ./src # Analyze specific directory
/code-to-prd /path/to/project # Analyze external projectWhat It Does
1. Scan — Run codebase_analyzer.py to detect framework, routes, APIs, enums, and project structure
2. Scaffold — Run prd_scaffolder.py to create prd/ directory with README.md, per-page stubs, and appendix files
3. Analyze — Walk through each page following the Phase 2 workflow: fields, interactions, API dependencies, page relationships
4. Generate — Produce the final PRD with all pages, enum dictionary, API inventory, and page relationship map
Steps
Step 1: Analyze
Determine the project path (default: current directory). Run the frontend analyzer:
python3 {skill_path}/scripts/codebase_analyzer.py {project_path} -o .code-to-prd-analysis.jsonDisplay a summary of findings: framework, page count, API count, enum count.
Step 2: Scaffold
Generate the PRD directory skeleton:
python3 {skill_path}/scripts/prd_scaffolder.py .code-to-prd-analysis.json -o prd/Step 3: Fill
For each page in the inventory, follow the SKILL.md Phase 2 workflow:
- Read the page's component files
- Document fields, interactions, API dependencies, page relationships
- Fill in the corresponding
prd/pages/stub
Work in batches of 3-5 pages for large projects (>15 pages). Ask the user to confirm after each batch.
Step 4: Finalize
Complete the appendix files:
prd/appendix/enum-dictionary.md— all enums and status codes found
prd/appendix/api-inventory.md— consolidated API reference
prd/appendix/page-relationships.md— navigation and data coupling map
Clean up the temporary analysis file:
rm .code-to-prd-analysis.jsonOutput
A prd/ directory containing:
README.md— system overview, module map, page inventory
pages/*.md— one file per page with fields, interactions, APIs
appendix/*.md— enum dictionary, API inventory, page relationships
