prd-inator 0.3.0

An autonomous LangGraph pipeline that generates AI-resistant technical take home assignments.

An autonomous LangGraph pipeline that generates AI-resistant technical assignment PRDs. Give it a role, tech stack, and domain — it handles everything else.

What it does

Takes a single employer input and runs it through an 8-node agentic pipeline: generating ideas, filtering out AI-solvable ones, injecting real-world constraints, red-teaming for shortcuts, and producing a structured PRD.

pip install prd-inator

Setup

Requires uv.

uv venv
uv sync

Copy .env.example to .env and add your API keys:

cp .env.example .env

Usage

As a Library

from prd_inator import generate_prd
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

# Initialize your LLM
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o", temperature=0.7)

result = generate_prd(
    role="Backend Engineer",
    tech_stack="Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL",
    domain="Fintech",
    seniority="Mid-level",
    llm=llm
)

# Access output
print(result.candidate_prd)  # Assignment for candidate

# Save to file
with open("assignment.md", "w") as f:
    f.write(result.candidate_prd)

As a CLI

uv run main.py

LLM Configuration

Simple: Single LLM for All Nodes

Pass a pre-configured LLM instance to use for all pipeline nodes:

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from prd_inator import generate_prd

llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o", temperature=0.7)

result = generate_prd(
    role="Backend Engineer",
    tech_stack="Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL",
    domain="Fintech",
    seniority="Mid-level",
    llm=llm
)

Advanced: Per-Node LLM Configuration

Use different LLMs for specific nodes:

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
from prd_inator import generate_prd

# Default LLM for most nodes
default_llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o", temperature=0.7)

# Use Claude for adversarial thinking
adversarial_llm = ChatAnthropic(model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022", temperature=0.9)

# Use cheaper model for diversity enforcement
cheap_llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini", temperature=0.3)

result = generate_prd(
    role="Frontend Developer",
    tech_stack="React, TypeScript",
    domain="Healthcare",
    seniority="Senior",
    llm=default_llm,
    node_llms={
        "adversarial_agent": adversarial_llm,
        "diversity_enforcer": cheap_llm
    }
)

Why This Approach?

• Bring your own LLM: Use any LangChain-compatible model (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models, custom wrappers)
• Full control: Configure temperature, max_tokens, timeouts, retries, etc.
• No coupling: The library doesn't manage API keys or provider initialization
• Flexible: Mix and match models per node for cost/quality optimization

Available Nodes for Configuration

• idea_divergence
• diversity_enforcer
• anti_ai_filter
• constraint_injector
• scenario_transformer
• adversarial_agent
• patch_node
• prd_generator

Pipeline overview

Employer inputs
  → Idea divergence engine
  → Diversity enforcer
  → Anti-AI filter          ↺ loops back if ideas are too weak (max 3x)
  → Constraint injector
  → Scenario transformer    (generates structured PRD components)
  → Adversarial agent
  → Patch node              (hardens PRD against shortcuts)
  → PRD generator           (assembles final document)
  → Output

Output

Each run produces a single structured PRD document with:

• Objective & Context — business problem and what to build
• Technical Stack — required technologies
• Core Requirements — 3-5 main requirements with details
• Functional Requirements — API endpoints/interfaces with specifications
• Non-Functional Requirements — performance, resilience, security, developer experience
• User Flow — end-to-end step-by-step flow

Stack

• LangGraph — agent orchestration
• uv — dependency management
