abi-prd

abi-prd

Deterministic, budget-aware PRD generation engine. Runs a dialectical workflow (thesis → antithesis → synthesis) to produce structured, schema-validated Product Requirements Documents. Part of the Planning Pack (Layer 2).

Depends on abi-control-core for schema validation and audit trail artifacts.

Install

pip install abi-prd

Quick start (CLI)

# Generate a PRD from an idea (simulation mode — no real LLM calls)
dialectic run --idea "Add OAuth2 authentication to the API" --simulation

# Full run with a config file
dialectic run --idea "User dashboard" --config config.json --output-dir runs/

# Deterministic smoke test
dialectic run --idea "Test feature" --smoke

Quick start (Python)

from dpe.engine.orchestrator import Orchestrator
from dpe.engine.config_loader import load_config

# Load configuration (supports simulation mode)
config = load_config(None, simulation_mode=True, output_dir="runs/")

# Run the dialectical PRD generation workflow
orchestrator = Orchestrator(config)
result = orchestrator.run(idea="Add user authentication")

What's included

• Dialectical workflow -- thesis/antithesis/synthesis cycle for structured PRD generation
• Budget enforcement -- token, time, and cost budgets with deterministic tracking
• Multi-provider adapters -- Anthropic, OpenAI, Claude Code CLI, Codex CLI, local, and simulation
• Schema validation -- generated PRDs are validated against abi-control-core contracts
• Audit trail artifacts -- each generation run produces sealed audit trail artifacts
• CLI -- dialectic command for quick PRD generation

ABI ecosystem

abi-prd is part of the Planning Pack (Layer 2), built on top of abi-control-core (Layer 1). It pairs with abi-spec to form the full planning pipeline: PRD generation followed by specification compilation.

Related packages:

• abi-control-core -- contracts and audit trail SDK (Layer 1, required)
• abi-spec -- specification compiler (Layer 2)
• abi-evals -- eval runner for validating PRD quality
