+# {{Project Name}} Product Requirements Document (PRD)
+
+[[LLM: If available, review any provided document or ask if any are optionally available: Project Brief]]
+
+## Goals and Background Context
+
+[[LLM: Populate the 2 child sections based on what we have received from user description or the provided brief. Allow user to review the 2 sections and offer changes before proceeding]]
+
+### Goals
+
+[[LLM: Bullet list of 1 line desired outcomes the PRD will deliver if successful - user and project desires]]
+
+### Background Context
+
+[[LLM: 1-2 short paragraphs summarizing the background context, such as what we learned in the brief without being redundant with the goals, what and why this solves a problem, what the current landscape or need is etc...]]
+
+### Change Log
+
+[[LLM: Track document versions and changes]]
+
+| Date | Version | Description | Author |
+| :--- | :------ | :---------- | :----- |
+
+## Requirements
+
+[[LLM: Draft the list of functional and non functional requirements under the two child sections, and immediately execute tasks#advanced-elicitation display]]
+
+### Functional
+
+[[LLM: Each Requirement will be a bullet markdown and an identifier sequence starting with FR`.]]
+@{example: - FR6: The Todo List uses AI to detect and warn against adding potentially duplicate todo items that are worded differently.}
+
+### Non Functional
+
+[[LLM: Each Requirement will be a bullet markdown and an identifier sequence starting with NFR`.]]
+@{example: - NFR1: AWS service usage **must** aim to stay within free-tier limits where feasible.}
+
+^^CONDITION: has_ui^^
+
+## User Interface Design Goals
+
+[[LLM: Capture high-level UI/UX vision to inform story creation and also generate a prompt for Lovable or V0 if the user would like either. Steps:
+
+1. Pre-fill all subsections with educated guesses based on project context
+2. Present the complete rendered section to user
+3. Clearly let the user know where assumptions were made
+4. Ask targeted questions for unclear/missing elements or areas needing more specification
+5. This is NOT detailed UI spec - focus on product vision and user goals
+6. After section completion, immediately apply `tasks#advanced-elicitation` protocol]]
+
+### Overall UX Vision
+
+### Key Interaction Paradigms
+
+### Core Screens and Views
+
+[[LLM: From a product perspective, what are the most critical screens or views necessary to deliver the the PRD values and goals? This is meant to be Conceptual High Level to Drive Rough Epic or User Stories]]
+
+@{example}
+
+- Login Screen
+- Main Dashboard
+- Item Detail Page
+- Settings Page
+  @{/example}
+
+### Accessibility: { None, WCAG, etc }
+
+### Branding
+
+[[LLM: Any known branding elements or style guides that must be incorporated?]]
+
+@{example}
+
+- Replicate the look and feel of early 1900s black and white cinema, including animated effects replicating film damage or projector glitches during page or state transitions.
+- Attached is the full color pallet and tokens for our corporate branding.
+  @{/example}
+
+### Target Device and Platforms

+"Web Responsive, and all mobile platforms", "IPhone Only", "ASCII Windows Desktop"
+@{/example}
+
+^^/CONDITION: has_ui^^
+
+## Technical Assumptions
+
+[[LLM: Gather technical decisions that will be used for this simple technical PRD that includes architecture decisions. Steps:
+
+1. Check if `data#technical-preferences` or an attached `technical-preferences` file exists - use it to pre-populate choices
+2. Ask user about: languages, frameworks, starter templates, libraries, APIs, deployment targets
+3. For unknowns, offer guidance based on project goals and MVP scope
+4. Document ALL technical choices with rationale (why this choice fits the project)
+5. These become constraints for the Architect - be specific and complete
+6. After section completion, apply `tasks#advanced-elicitation` protocol.]]
+
+### Repository Structure: { Monorepo, Polyrepo, etc...}
+
+### Service Architecture
+
+[[LLM: CRITICAL DECISION - Document the high-level service architecture (e.g., Monolith, Microservices, Serverless functions within a Monorepo).]]
+
+## Testing requirements
+
+[[LLM: CRITICAL DECISION - Document the testing requirements, unit only, integration, e2e, manual, need for manual testing convenience methods).]]
+
+### Additional Technical Assumptions and Requests
+
+[[LLM: Throughout the entire process of drafting this document, if any other technical assumptions are raised or discovered appropriate for the architect, add them here as additional bulleted items]]
+
+## Data Models
+
+[[LLM: Define the core data models/entities that will be used in the front end (if there is one), core application or back end, and if both, shared between frontend and backend:
+
+1. Review PRD requirements and identify key business entities
+2. For each model, explain its purpose and relationships
+3. Include key attributes and data types
+4. Show relationships between models
+5. Create TypeScript interfaces that can be shared
+6. Discuss design decisions with user

+
+## Epics
+
+[[LLM: First, present a high-level list of all epics for user approval, the epic_list and immediately execute tasks#advanced-elicitation display. Each epic should have a title and a short (1 sentence) goal statement. This allows the user to review the overall structure before diving into details.
+
+CRITICAL: Epics MUST be logically sequential following agile best practices:
+
+- Each epic should deliver a significant, end-to-end, fully deployable increment of testable functionality
+- Epic 1 must establish foundational project infrastructure (app setup, Git, CI/CD, core services) unless we are adding new functionality to an existing app, while also delivering an initial piece of functionality, even as simple as a health-check route or display of a simple canary page
+- Each subsequent epic builds upon previous epics' functionality delivering major blocks of functionality that provide tangible value to users or business when deployed
+- Not every project needs multiple epics, an epic needs to deliver value. For example, an API completed can deliver value even if a UI is not complete and planned for a separate epic.
+- Err on the side of less epics, but let the user know your rationale and offer options for splitting them if it seems some are too large or focused on disparate things.
+- Cross Cutting Concerns should flow through epics and stories and not be final stories. For example, adding a logging framework as a last story of an epic, or at the end of a project as a final epic or story would be terrible as we would not have logging from the beginning.]]

+<<REPEAT: epic_list>>

+@{example: epic_list}
+
+1. Foundation & Core Infrastructure: Establish project setup, authentication, and basic user management
+2. Core Business Entities: Create and manage primary domain objects with CRUD operations
+3. User Workflows & Interactions: Enable key user journeys and business processes
+4. Reporting & Analytics: Provide insights and data visualization for users
+

+[[LLM: CRITICAL STORY SEQUENCING REQUIREMENTS:
+
+- Stories within each epic MUST be logically sequential
+- Each story should be a "vertical slice" delivering complete functionality
+- No story should depend on work from a later story or epic
+- Identify and note any direct prerequisite stories
+- Focus on "what" and "why" not "how" (leave technical implementation to Architect) yet be precise enough to support a logical sequential order of operations from story to story.
+- Ensure each story delivers clear user or business value, try to avoid enablers and build them into stories that deliver value.
+- Size stories for AI agent execution: Each story must be completable by a single AI agent in one focused session without context overflow
+- Think "junior developer working for 2-4 hours" - stories must be small, focused, and self-contained
+- If a story seems complex, break it down further as long as it can deliver a vertical slice
+- Each story should result in working, testable code before the agent's context window fills]]

+### Story {{epic_number}}.{{story_number}} {{story_title}}
+
+As a {{user_type}},
+I want {{action}},
+so that {{benefit}}.
+
+#### Acceptance Criteria
+
+[[LLM: Define clear, comprehensive, and testable acceptance criteria that:
+
+- Precisely define what "done" means from a functional perspective
+- Are unambiguous and serve as basis for verification
+- Include any critical non-functional requirements from the PRD
+- Consider local testability for backend/data components
+- Specify UI/UX requirements and framework adherence where applicable
+- Avoid cross-cutting concerns that should be in other stories or PRD sections]]

+## IDE Development Workflow
+
+1. Shard the PRD (And Architecture documents if they exist also based on workflow type) using the Doc Shard task. The BMad-Master agent can help you do this. You will select the task, provide the doc to shard and the output folder. for example: `BMad Master, please Shard the docs/prd.md to the doc/prd/ folder` - this should ask you to use the md-tree-parser which is recommended, but either way shoudl result in multiple documents being created in the folder docs/prd.
+2. If you have fullstack, front end and or back end architecture documents you will want to follow the same thing, but shard all of these to an architecture folder instead of a prd folder.
+3. Ensure that you have at least one epic-n.md file in your prd folder, with the stories in order to develop.
+4. The docs or architecture folder or prd folder should have a source tree document and coding standards at a minimum. These are used by the dev agent, and the many other sharded docs are used by the SM agent.
+5. Use a new chat window to allow the SM agent to `draft the next story`.
+6. If you agree the story is correct, mark it as approved in the status field, and then start a new chat window with the dev agent.
+7. Ask the dev agent to implement the next story. If you draft the story file into the chat it will save time for the dev to have to find what the next one is. The dev should follow the tasks and subtasks marking them off as they are completed. The dev agent will also leave notes potentially for the SM to know about any deviations that might have occured to help draft the next story.
+8. Once complete and you have verified, mark it done, and start a new chat. Ask the SM to draft the next story - repeating the cycle.
+
+With this work flow, there is only 1 story in progress at a time, worked sequentially.
