ChatPRD for Cursor
February 18, 2026 · View on GitHub
Product requirements in your editor. Write PRDs from code context, implement from specs, verify alignment, and keep docs in sync — powered by ChatPRD.
What's included
MCP Server — Zero-config connection to ChatPRD. No API key needed. Access your documents, projects, templates, and team workspace directly from Cursor.
Skills:
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
write-prd | Analyzes your codebase and creates a PRD in ChatPRD with real technical context |
implement-from-prd | Fetches a PRD and builds an implementation plan using plan mode |
check-prd-alignment | Diffs your branch against a PRD — reports coverage, gaps, and Opportunity items to better achieve the PRD's goals |
update-prd | Updates the PRD to reflect what was actually built, including deviations and trade-offs |
Rule — Always-on product-aware development standards: reference specs, handle edge cases, flag deviations.
Agent — Product reviewer that checks code changes against PRD requirements, not just technical correctness.
How it works
The plugin saves local copies of PRDs to a prd/ directory in your project root. These are committed to the repo so the whole team has specs alongside the code — useful for code review, onboarding, and understanding why things were built a certain way. ChatPRD remains the source of truth; local copies are kept in sync by the update-prd skill.
When you run implement-from-prd, Cursor enters plan mode to build a structured implementation plan before writing any code. Every PRD requirement maps to a milestone so nothing gets missed.
The check-prd-alignment skill goes beyond a checkbox exercise — it reads the PRD's stated user and business goals and identifies Opportunity items where the implementation could better achieve those goals.
Getting started
- Install the ChatPRD plugin from the Cursor Marketplace.
- Open a project in Cursor — the MCP connection is automatic.
- Try: "Write a PRD for [feature]" or "Implement the [document name] PRD".
