📋 Agent Product Requirements Document (PRD)#

A. Project/Agent Name:

B. Problem Statement:

C. Target Users / Stakeholders:

D. User Stories / Sample Prompts:

E. Key Capabilities (MVP):
Mark must-have and nice-to-have. Use checkboxes.

  • Natural language Q&A

  • Retrieval from internal docs (RAG)

  • Calls external APIs (specify which): ___________

  • Handles file inputs (PDF, images)

  • Follows multi-turn conversations

  • Handoffs/escalations to humans

  • Structured outputs (JSON)

  • Multimodal (image, audio)

  • Other: ___________

F. Guardrails / Risks / Constraints:
List safety, compliance, privacy, refusal rules, etc.

  • PII detection/redaction

  • Moderation API on inputs/outputs

  • Human-in-the-loop for edge cases

  • Rate limiting / cost cap

  • Blocklist for prohibited topics

  • Others: ___________

G. Success Metrics / KPIs:
How will you know this agent is successful?

  • e.g. 90% correct answers, <10% human handoff, sub-5s latency, user satisfaction, etc.

H. Evaluation Plan:
How will you test & validate agent performance? (Eval set, manual review, etc.)

I. Initial System/Assistant Instructions:
Example “system” prompt for your agent. Try to make it realistic.
