SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Product concepts often fail because teams commit resources before validating the customer problem, value proposition, and feasibility. This Skill stress-tests a product idea using Amazon's Working Backwards method, producing a complete PRFAQ (press release plus customer and internal FAQs) before any building begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-stage coaching workflow: Ignition, Press Release, Customer FAQ, Internal FAQ, and Verdict, each with reference guides that challenge vague answers and demand specificity. - Headless mode: Pass --headless with structured inputs (customer, problem, stakes, solution) to generate a full first-draft PRFAQ autonomously, with parallel artifact-analysis and web-research subagents. - Downstream distillate: Produces a token-efficient distillate file capturing rejected framings, risks, and scope signals for direct use as PRD input. - Use Case: A founder with a rough SaaS idea runs the PRFAQ challenge, answers hard customer and stakeholder questions, and walks away with a validated press release, honest FAQs, and a verdict on concept readiness. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a PRFAQ for your product concept and answer the coaching questions through each stage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a PRFAQ using Amazon's Working Backwards method?

Invoke the skill with your product concept and it guides you through five stages: capturing the customer problem, drafting the press release, answering customer FAQs, answering internal FAQs, and receiving a final verdict. The output is a complete PRFAQ markdown document.

What is a PRFAQ and when should I write one?

A PRFAQ is a press release plus frequently asked questions written before building a product, forcing customer-first clarity. Write one during early planning, after brainstorming or research, and before creating a PRD.

Can I generate a PRFAQ automatically without interactive coaching?

Yes, run the skill with the --headless or -H flag and provide structured inputs: customer persona, problem, stakes, and solution concept. It produces a complete first-draft PRFAQ using parallel artifact-analysis and web-research subagents.

Does the PRFAQ workflow work for non-commercial projects?

Yes, the skill detects the concept type (commercial, internal tool, open-source, or community/nonprofit) and adapts question framing accordingly, replacing unit economics with maintenance burden and customer acquisition with adoption strategy.

What outputs does the PRFAQ workflow produce for downstream planning?

It produces the PRFAQ document plus a distillate file containing dense bullet points on rejected framings, requirements signals, competitive intelligence, risks, and scope decisions. The distillate is designed as token-efficient input for PRD creation.
