PRD and tasks
Plan larger work on a board. Write a PRD, let the AI draft tasks, and send any task to the AI to implement.
A PRD (product requirements document) in Lyna is a board of tasks for one goal, such as a feature or a sprint. It lives in the PRD panel of the editor's left rail.
What you can do
- Create a PRD from a template or from scratch.
- Let the AI draft tasks from your description.
- Move tasks between columns and set priority, due date, assignee and labels.
- Link tasks to files, a branch or a commit.
- Send a task to the AI to implement, refine, estimate or split.
- Copy a PRD as markdown.
Create a PRD
Open the PRD panel
In the editor, choose PRD in the left rail, then New PRD.
Pick a template
| Template | For |
|---|---|
| Blank | Start from scratch with empty columns. |
| Feature | Plan a new feature from discovery to launch. |
| Bug triage | Track and resolve bugs across severity levels. |
| OKR | Quarterly objectives broken into key results. |
| Sprint | A two-week sprint with planning and review. |
Describe the goal
Give the PRD a name and a short description. Choose Generate from idea to let the AI draft tasks from your description, or choose Create and add tasks yourself.
Work with tasks
Each task has a Title, a Description (acceptance criteria, context, links), a Priority (Low, Medium, High, Urgent), a Due date, an Assignee, Labels and linked files, branch or commit. Type @ in Linked files to search project files.
Group the board by Status, Priority, Assignee or Due date.
Send a task to the AI
Open a task's actions and choose Send to AI, or pick an AI action:
- Implement: build the task.
- Refine: improve the description and acceptance criteria.
- Estimate: judge the size of the work.
- Split into subtasks: break a large task into smaller ones.
The AI can also create and update tasks while it works, and a task made from a chat shows Created from a chat conversation.
PRD or Plan mode?
Use Plan mode for one change you want to review before building. Use a PRD to track many tasks over days, with priorities and owners.
