why product managers use it

Your PRD, in the repo, looking like a PRD.

When product docs live with the code, engineers review them in pull requests and AI agents build from the same spec you wrote. PM Toolbox takes care of the writing experience.

Status, owner, and release at a glance.

Every PRD starts with the basics. PM Toolbox shows your frontmatter as a clean properties panel instead of raw YAML.

faq

Questions from product managers

Why write PRDs in VS Code instead of Notion or Google Docs?

When your PRDs and specs live in the same repo as the code, engineers review them in pull requests and AI agents read the same files you do. PM Toolbox makes that markdown as pleasant to write as a doc tool.

Do I need to know markdown?

No. Type / for headings, lists, tables, callouts, and diagrams. You see formatted text as you write, and the file is saved as markdown behind the scenes.

Can my team review a spec?

Yes. Highlight text to add a comment, reply in threads, and see every comment in the side panel. Comments are saved in the file, so they travel with it through git.

Can I start every PRD from the same template?

Yes. Point PM Toolbox at a templates folder, and every template shows up in the slash menu with variables like {{date}} filled in for you.
