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, feasibility, and risks. This Skill stress-tests a product idea by writing the press release for the finished product first, then answering hard customer and internal stakeholder questions, producing a complete PRFAQ document. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-Stage Coaching Workflow: Ignition (concept capture), Press Release drafting, Customer FAQ, Internal FAQ, and a final Verdict with strength assessment. - Headless Mode: Accepts --headless / -H to autonomously generate a first-draft PRFAQ from structured inputs (customer, problem, stakes, solution). - Research-Grounded Output: Fans out artifact-analyzer and web-researcher subagents to ground competitive and market claims in current data. - Use Case: A founder with a rough product idea runs the PRFAQ challenge and walks out with a press release, answered customer and internal FAQs, a candid verdict, and a distillate file ready to feed into PRD creation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a PRFAQ for your product concept and answer the coaching questions through each stage.

Frequently Asked Questions about bmad-prfaq

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a PRFAQ for a product idea?▼

Invoke the skill with your concept and it guides you through five stages: concept ignition, press release drafting, customer FAQ, internal FAQ, and a final verdict. The output is a complete PRFAQ markdown document plus a distillate file for PRD creation.

What is Amazon's Working Backwards method?▼

Working Backwards is a product validation method where you write the press release announcing the finished product before building it. The PRFAQ format adds customer and internal FAQs to test the value proposition, feasibility, and risks from outside-in and inside-out perspectives.

Can I generate a PRFAQ automatically without interactive coaching?▼

Yes, pass the --headless or -H flag with structured inputs covering customer, problem, stakes, and solution concept. The skill validates the input schema, runs artifact and web research subagents, and produces a complete first-draft PRFAQ document.

Does the PRFAQ process work for non-commercial projects?▼

Yes, the skill detects the concept type (commercial, internal tool, open-source, or community/nonprofit) and recalibrates question framing. For example, unit economics becomes maintenance burden and customer acquisition becomes adoption strategy.

What outputs does the PRFAQ workflow produce?▼

It produces a PRFAQ markdown document with press release, customer FAQ, internal FAQ, and verdict sections, plus a token-efficient distillate file. The distillate captures rejected framings, requirements signals, risks, and open questions for downstream PRD creation.
