Write a PRD for a physical hardware product — target cost (BOM and landed), industrial design constraints, regulatory certifications, reliability targets, serviceability, packaging, and forecast assumptions. Use when asked to write a hardware PRD, spec a new device, define requirements for a physical product, or kick off an NPI program. Produces a complete hardware PRD with a cost stack, cert matrix, reliability spec, and EVT/DVT/PVT milestone targets.

From the source SKILL.md

A software PRD can ship wrong and patch later; a hardware PRD is cut into steel and soldered onto boards. This skill writes a PRD that forces the decisions that get expensive after tooling: cost targets with a full stack (not just BOM), certifications named per market, reliability as numbers, and forecast assumptions stated so the supply chain can be sized honestly.

What this skill does

Hardware PRD is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the prd-spec sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/hardware-prd/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when asked to write a hardware PRD, spec a new device, define requirements for a physical product, or kick off an NPI program. Produces a complete hardware PRD with a cost stack, cert matrix, reliability spec, and EVT/DVT/PVT milestone targets.
