Implement a method to generate PRD
- we need a way to make it easy to generate a PRD for the user.
- Right now they have to come equipped with it
- Use this as inspo:

@eyaltoledano care to share more information in the comments here ?

Yes, Joe and I have been discussing this feature. It’s mission critical because users are left to their own devices having to come with their PRD.
We will build a structured workflow to turn raw ideas into polished PRDs through interactive commands, simulated research, and expert perspectives right within Task Master.
⸻
High-Level Workflow 1. ideate → Turn idea into a structured product concept (concept.txt) 2. round-table → Simulate expert discussion and generate improvements (discussion.txt) 3. refine-concept → Apply refinements from prompts or round table to the concept 4. generate-prd → Generate full PRD (prd.txt) 5. (Optional) Generate tasks, continue iteration as needed

Commands & Flags
-
ideate
Purpose: Starting point — turn a raw idea into a structured product concept. • Interactive: Prompts user through idea exploration, target audience, core problem, features, and success metrics. • Output: concept.txt • Notes: This is the foundation. All other commands depend on this file.
⸻
-
round-table
Purpose: Simulate a discussion between domain experts to generate insights and recommendations. • Flags: • --concept-file: Path to the concept.txt • --participants: List of expert names or descriptions (e.g. “Nikita Bier”, “experienced growth strategist”, “AI safety researcher”) • --refine-concept: Apply recommendations from discussion directly to concept.txt • Flow: 1. Prompts user to define each participant. 2. Confirms setup and runs simulation. 3. Outputs full discussion in discussion.txt. 4. Summarizes actionable recommendations directly in CLI. 5. If --refine-concept is passed, updates concept.txt with recommendations. • Notes: • Should feel like a structured roundtable with personas contributing distinct takes. • Each contribution should reflect domain-specific thinking.

-
refine-concept
Purpose: Improve and deepen the concept via additional research and prompts. • Flags: • --concept-file: Path to concept.txt • --prompt: Custom prompt for refinement (e.g. "Consider using FastMCP for backend modularity.") • --discussion-file: Optionally include discussion.txt to automatically pull recommendations into refinement. • Flow: 1. Loads the concept. 2. Applies additional input (prompt or discussion-based suggestions). 3. Outputs updated concept.txt.
⸻
-
generate-prd
Purpose: Turn the finalized concept into a detailed PRD. • Flags: • --concept-file: Path to concept.txt • --example-prd: Reference template structure • --research: Optional live research (e.g. Grok, Perplexity) • Output: prd.txt • Notes: • Should handle both structured concepts and slightly fuzzy ones. • Output should be well-structured and scoped (features, goals, edge cases, etc.)
⸻
Example CLI Flow (simplified)
> What's your idea? ...
> Who is it for? ...
> What are key outcomes? ...
✓ Saved to concept.txt
$ task-master round-table --concept-file=concept.txt
> Add participants:
1. Nikita Bier
2. A seasoned consumer growth advisor
3. A skeptical investor
✓ Saved to discussion.txt
✓ Summary:
- Focus on retention loops early
- Add frictionless onboarding path
- Consider viral incentives
$ task-master refine-concept --concept-file=concept.txt --discussion-file=discussion.txt
✓ Updated concept.txt with applied recommendations
$ task-master generate-prd --concept-file=concept.txt --example-prd=template.txt
✓ Generated prd.txt ```
From there the current workflows take over from `parse-prd` onwards.
round-table feature is gonna be sick, @eyaltoledano 's prompting skills are just impressive

roundtable has been succesfully added to prd generator...
take a look:
concept.txt (original)
redefinedconcept.txt (after aplying roundtable)
working now in the last step of the process, the generation of the gem, the prd.txt
breaked down the tasks with --expand, so powerfull toll from task master
i asked him to add a final label to make things simple and clear but as powerfull as the complex ones, to keep the vibe of the product itself "stay simple"
user friendly ux
option to customize the prd
customizable aspects of the prd (Such as ICP ;))))) )
added a preview option so we dont need to run again the whole thing if we dont match the goal, making it more accesible
sample prd, toggled off use a template so it full simules an user who just came with an idea and got his concept.txt from previous steps
Would you be able to explain in a consolidated the way you’ve implemented this? Is it the way I spec’d it exactly or did you do anything different?

I based everything in https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/issues/37#issue-2951958323
and https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/issues/37#issuecomment-2758518660
as starting point, I could explain also the way i did it, and you could verify yourselves in the tasks.txt of the project itself (used task master to create it)

this has been my roadmap by now, almost done
https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master/pull/92 sorry this one @eyaltoledano
This is a great concept, and reading the PR, I notice this is so limiting in a CLI.
It would be awesome to have a place to generate this PRD online, on our website!

´the 92 is like the same, just isolated everything overthere and recoded it :) thanks a lot! i would LOVE to share my code with you guys ofc.
It would be great to have a feature like this, but I see that the PR in question has stalled.
@Zyra-V23 @Crunchyman-ralph any updates on this feature? This would be crucial for a good workflow with task-master
Optimal would be online conversation connected with GitHub/Linear. Task-Master collecting this PRDs via MCP, track it's progress would even be perfect to work for me and my team. Wouldn't mind paying $20 a month for this. Specially avoiding "Bring my own key"
