Define PRD Schema Requirements

[ForestMars]

Context

We need to define the formal requirements for our PRD schema. This will serve as the foundation for our entire pipeline.

Required Fields

Top-Level Fields

• Define required top-level fields
  • Title
  • Version
  • Author
  • Date
  • Status
  • Description
  • Scope
  • Dependencies

User Stories

• Define user story format
  • Choose between:
    • Given/When/Then
    • As a/I want/So that
    • Other format
  • Define required fields for stories
  • Define validation rules

Domain Objects

• Define object structure
  • Required properties
  • Data types
  • Relationships
  • Validation rules

API Requirements

• Define API structure
  • Endpoint format
  • Method definitions
  • Request/Response formats
  • Validation rules

Non-Functional Requirements

• Define NFR structure
  • Performance requirements
  • Security requirements
  • Scalability requirements
  • Other NFRs

Schema Format

• Define JSON Schema version (draft-07)
• Define YAML structure
• Define validation rules
• Define versioning strategy

Example Structure

```yaml
$schema: "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#\"
title: "[PRD Title]"
version: "1.0.0"
author: "[Author Name]"
date: "[YYYY-MM-DD]"
status: "[Draft/Review/Approved]"
description: "[Brief description]"
scope:

• "[Scope item 1]"
• "[Scope item 2]"
  dependencies:
• "[Dependency 1]"
• "[Dependency 2]"
  user_stories:
• id: "[Story ID]"
  title: "[Story Title]"

  Format to be decided

  Given/When/Then or As a/I want/So that

domain_objects:

• name: "[Object Name]"
  properties:
  • name: "[Property Name]"
    type: "[Data Type]"
    required: true/false
    relationships:
  • type: "[Relationship Type]"
    target: "[Target Object]"
    api_requirements:
• endpoint: "[Endpoint Path]"
  method: "[HTTP Method]"
  request:

  Request format

  response:

  Response format

non_functional_requirements:
performance:
- "[Performance requirement]"
security:
- "[Security requirement]"
scalability:
- "[Scalability requirement]"
```

Questions to Resolve

1. Which user story format should we standardize on?
2. What are the minimum required fields for a valid PRD?
3. How should we handle versioning of PRDs?
4. How should we handle dependencies between PRDs?
5. What validation rules should we enforce?
