Add RPG (Repository Planning Graph) method template for structured PRD creation. The new example_prd_rpg.txt template teaches AI agents and developers the RPG methodology through embedded instructions, inline good/bad examples, and XML-style tags for structure. This template enables creation of dependency-aware PRDs that automatically generate topologically-ordered task graphs when parsed with Task Master.

Key features:

  • Method-as-template: teaches RPG principles (dual-semantics, explicit dependencies, topological order) while being used
  • Inline instructions at decision points guide AI through each section
  • Good/bad examples for immediate pattern matching
  • Flexible plain-text format with XML-style tags for parseability
  • Critical dependency-graph section ensures correct task ordering
  • Automatic inclusion during task-master init
  • Comprehensive documentation at docs.task-master.dev/capabilities/rpg-method
  • Tool recommendations for code-context-aware PRD creation (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex/Grok)

The RPG template complements the existing example_prd.txt and provides a more structured approach for complex projects requiring clear module boundaries and dependency chains.
