Why I Went Down This Rabbit Hole

It was a Tuesday afternoon, and I was staring at my third blank PRD template of the month. Same cursor blinking in the same “Problem Statement” field. Same feeling that I should be writing code instead of documenting why the code matters.

I work on a small team. We ship fast, which means documentation is always the first thing to slip. PRDs end up as Notion scraps or Slack threads titled “that thing we discussed.” When I found to-prd on skills.sh — described as a tool that synthesizes conversation context into a structured PRD and publishes it to your issue tracker — I installed it within 30 seconds. The promise was simple: stop writing requirements, start shipping. I’d already tried Grill Me, another Matt Pocock skill, for plan review. to-prd felt like the natural companion.
