Usage Guide
Step 1: Load Inputs
Load all required inputs for PRP generation:
Required Inputs:
- Analysis Document:
/docs/implementation/analysis/feature-{issue-number}-analysis.md
- Requirements (functional and non-functional) - Security considerations - Technical stack requirements - Dependencies - Scope definition - Identified risks
- Synthesized Design: Output from design-synthesizer skill
- Component architecture with library mappings - Data models with library validation patterns - API contracts with library integration - Library integration strategies - Dependency resolution - Implementation path - Design decisions - Identified issues/gaps
Loading Pattern:
# Read analysis document
analysis = read_document("/docs/implementation/analysis/feature-{issue-number}-analysis.md")
# Parse synthesized design (from synthesis step)
design = parse_synthesized_design()
# Extract key information
requirements = extract_requirements(analysis)
architecture = extract_architecture(design)
libraries = extract_libraries(design)
dependencies = extract_dependencies(design)
implementation_plan = extract_implementation_plan(design)Step 2: Create PRP Header
Use prp-template.md header section:

**Date**: [YYYY-MM-DD]
**Designer**: Design Orchestrator (Claude Code)
**Issue**: #{issue-number} - [Issue Title]
**Analysis Document**: /docs/implementation/analysis/feature-{issue-number}-analysis.md

## Executive Summary
This document provides comprehensive implementation guidance for [feature name],
which [high-level description of what feature does and why it's valuable].
**Architectural Approach**: [Brief description of architecture - e.g., "Service layer
pattern with FastAPI endpoints, SQLAlchemy ORM, and Redis caching"]

approach with OWASP compliance, performance target of <200ms API response time"]Example:
## Executive Summary
This document provides comprehensive implementation guidance for user authentication
system, which enables secure user login, session management, and access control for
the application.
