# PRD Engine
Generate agent-executable Product Requirements Documents using parallel research agents, structured synthesis, and quality scoring. Produces PRDs with before/after code blocks, verification tables, acceptance criteria, and explicit scope boundaries.
For quick internal feature specs without research, use the `product-manager` agent directly instead.

## 1. Quick Start
**Step 1: Describe the feature.**
```
You: "Write a PRD for adding dark mode to the dashboard"
You: "PRD for the payment integration API --deep"
You: "Quick PRD for fixing the header alignment bug"
```
**Step 2: Review the plan.** The engine shows agents, intensity, and estimated time before spawning anything.
**Step 3: Say "go".** Or adjust: `more agents`, `fewer agents`, `add clarification`, `cancel`.
**Step 4: Wait.** Research agents run in parallel (background). Synthesis and quality gate run sequentially. Progress updates appear as agents complete.
**Step 5: Review.** Final PRD is delivered to `.prd-engine/{slug}/PRD.md` with a summary of quality score, requirement count, files touched, and next steps.

## 2. How It Works
The engine runs a 3-phase pipeline with 4-19 agents depending on intensity:
```
Phase 1: RESEARCH (parallel, background)
3-8 Opus agents investigate the feature from orthogonal perspectives:
codebase analysis, domain research, requirements, risks/edge cases,
implementation strategy. Higher tiers double key agents for depth.
Each writes a numbered repo
