Interview-driven PRD generator for vibe coders — from one sentence to 4 design documents.
Turn a single idea into a complete product plan. Answer 5–6 structured questions and get four design documents ready to hand off to any AI coding tool.

Quick Start
1. Add the marketplace
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/fivetaku/gptaku_plugins.git
2. Install the plugin
/plugin install show-me-the-prd
3. Restart Claude Code
The plugin loads on session start — restart once after installing.
4. Start planning
/show-me-the-prd I want to build a photo organization app
Or just say it naturally:
Make me a PRD for a task manager
Why show-me-the-prd?
- No planning experience required — Every question comes with plain-language explanations and tradeoffs, not jargon
- AI leads, you decide — AI researches options in real time and presents them as choices; you never have to Google anything
- Research-backed, not guesswork — Live web searches power the feature list, stack comparison, and complexity ratings
- Four documents, not one — PRD, data model, phase plan, and AI project spec are generated together as a coherent set
- Production-oriented — Each phase targets a real deployment with real auth and a real database, not a local mock
- Existing plans welcome — Drop in an existing spec; the plugin identifies gaps and fills them in
How it works
One-sentence idea
|
v
[ Interview ] ←── live web research runs between each question
|
Turn 1: clarify the idea (1–3 questions)
Turn 2: pick core features + MVP scope
Turn 3: confirm data model
Turn 4: confirm phase breakdown
Turn 5: choose tech stack + auth method
|
v
[ 4 Documents ]
|
+── PRD/01_PRD.md What you're building and who it's for
+── PRD/02_DATA_MODEL.md Core data structure (conceptual ERD)
+── PRD/03_PHASES.md Phase plan with start prompts
+── PRD/04_PROJECT_SPEC.md AI rules + "never do this" list
+── PRD/README.md Navigation guide
Every option in the interview includes a plain-language description, pros, cons, and a complexity rating (Simple / Moderate / Complex). If you are unsure, pick the one marked (recommended).
Features
Interview-based planning
No developer vocabulary required. Instead of "choose your auth strategy," it asks "how should users log in?" with concrete options like "social login (Google/Kakao)" and "email + password."
Real-time web research
Between each interview turn, the plugin runs live searches to find relevant features, common pitfalls, and current best-practice stacks. What you see in the options is grounded in actual results, not hardcoded suggestions.
Complexity guidance
Each feature in the feature-selection step is labeled:
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Simple | Works out of the box with most frameworks |
| Moderate | Requires an external service; some cost likely |
| Complex | Recommended to skip in the first version |
Four output documents
| Document | Contents | When to use |
|---|---|---|
01_PRD.md | Product goals, user stories, feature list | Share at project start |
02_DATA_MODEL.md | Core entities and relationships | Share when designing the database |
03_PHASES.md | Phase-by-phase plan with start prompts | Reference for build order |
04_PROJECT_SPEC.md | AI behavior rules + "never do this" list | Share with AI on every session |
Enhancement mode
If you already have a spec or notes, share them before running the command. The plugin reads them, identifies what is missing against the four-document standard, and runs only the questions needed to fill the gaps.
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/show-me-the-prd [idea] | Start an interview with your idea inline |
/show-me-the-prd | Start with an interactive opening question |
Natural-language triggers
The plugin also activates when you say:
- "Make me a PRD"
- "Create a planning document"
- "Show me the PRD"
- "Plan this app for me"
- "Plan [idea] for me"
Requirements
- Claude Code CLI
Optional plugins (recommended)
Installing these alongside show-me-the-prd improves research quality:
| Plugin | What it adds |
|---|---|
docs-guide | Official documentation lookups during tech stack research |
insane-research | Deeper market and trend analysis |
The plugin works without them — it falls back to WebSearch automatically.
