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 concept using Amazon's Working Backwards PRFAQ method, forcing customer-first clarity before any PRD or build work begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-stage coaching workflow: Ignition, Press Release, Customer FAQ, Internal FAQ, and Verdict, each with reference files that challenge vague answers and demand specifics. - Research-grounded drafting: Parallel artifact-analyzer and web-researcher subagents scan project documents and current market data to inform competitive and feasibility claims. - Headless mode: Accepts --headless / -H with a structured input schema (customer, problem, stakes, solution) to autonomously produce a first-draft PRFAQ. - Use Case: A founder with a rough product idea runs the PRFAQ challenge, survives devil's-advocate customer and stakeholder questions, and walks away with a complete PRFAQ document plus a token-efficient distillate ready to feed PRD creation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the PRFAQ challenge on your product concept, providing who the customer is, their problem, why it matters, and your solution idea.

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?▼

Run the PRFAQ challenge with your customer persona, problem, stakes, and solution concept. The workflow guides you through five stages — ignition, press release, customer FAQ, internal FAQ, and verdict — producing a complete PRFAQ document in your planning artifacts folder.

What is the Amazon Working Backwards method?▼

Working Backwards is Amazon's product definition method where you write the finished product's press release before building anything. The PRFAQ format adds customer and internal FAQs to validate the value proposition and feasibility from outside-in and inside-out perspectives.

Can I generate a PRFAQ automatically without interactive coaching?▼

Yes, use the --headless or -H flag with a structured input containing customer, problem, stakes, and solution. The skill validates the input schema, fans out research subagents, and produces a complete first-draft PRFAQ plus distillate without interaction.

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

Yes, the workflow detects concept type early and calibrates all questions accordingly. For internal tools, open-source, or community projects, it replaces unit economics with maintenance burden and customer acquisition with adoption strategy.

What outputs does the PRFAQ challenge produce?▼

It produces two files in your planning artifacts folder: the full PRFAQ document with press release, both FAQs, and verdict, plus a token-efficient distillate containing rejected framings, requirements signals, risks, and scope decisions for downstream PRD creation.
