SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve? Product concepts often move to development without being validated from the customer's perspective, leading to wasted effort on vague or weak ideas. This Skill stress-tests a concept using Amazon's Working Backwards PRFAQ method before any building begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-Stage Coaching Workflow: Guides the user through Ignition, Press Release drafting, Customer FAQ, Internal FAQ, and a final Verdict with honest strength assessment. - Research-Grounded Output: Fans out artifact-analyzer and web-researcher subagents to ground competitive and market claims in current data. - Headless Mode: Accepts --headless to autonomously generate a complete first-draft PRFAQ from structured inputs. - Use Case: A founder with a rough product idea runs the PRFAQ challenge and walks away with a press release, customer and internal FAQs, a verdict on concept readiness, and a distillate document ready to feed into PRD creation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the PRFAQ challenge on your product idea, providing the target customer, their problem, and your solution concept.

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: capturing the customer and problem, drafting a press release, answering customer and internal FAQs, and receiving a final verdict. The output is a complete PRFAQ Markdown document plus a distillate for PRD creation.

What is the Working Backwards method for product planning?

Working Backwards is Amazon's approach of writing the finished product's press release before building anything. This skill implements it as a PRFAQ challenge that forces customer-first clarity and validates the value proposition through skeptical FAQ questions.

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 research subagents, and produces a complete first-draft PRFAQ without interaction.

Does the PRFAQ skill work for non-commercial projects?

Yes, it detects the concept type early and calibrates question framing for internal tools, open-source projects, and community initiatives. Commercial questions about unit economics are replaced with adoption, sustainability, and stakeholder value framing.

What happens if my product idea is too vague for a PRFAQ?

The skill challenges vague answers directly and offers concrete alternatives when you are stuck. If the concept lacks a clear customer or problem after several exchanges, it redirects you to upstream brainstorming or idea-forging workflows instead of forcing weak output.
