As of 2025-10-06, Ryan Carson’s 3-file system offers a tactical workflow for AI PMs looking to streamline the process from PRD creation to live UI deployment. Here’s how to implement this system:
1. Create a detailed PRD: Use the create_prd.md file to outline your product requirements clearly, incorporating key features and clarifying questions to guide the AI’s understanding.
2. Generate actionable tasks: With generate_tasks.md, split the PRD into parent and sub-tasks, enabling the AI to pinpoint specific actions needed for each feature.
3. Process the task list iteratively: Utilize process_task_list.md to enforce a workflow where code is developed in iterations, complete with tests and commits, ensuring quality and continuity.
4. Integrate with AMP CLI: Run the process on Sonnet 4 to benefit from fast context handling. Additionally, invoke the GPT-3.5 “Oracle” for deeper reasoning and on-the-fly audits of the task breakdown.
A live demo for Untangle showcased this system by generating a partner relationship assessment feature, where a new feature branch was created, the schema updated, and a React Hook Form questionnaire UI built and previewed on localhost. This method provides a repeatable process that helps PMs transition quickly from ideation to execution.
