SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Product teams often commit to building before they can clearly articulate the customer benefit, target persona, or tradeoffs. This Skill forces that clarity by writing the launch announcement first — a fictional press release dated at launch plus an honest internal FAQ — so weak initiatives get killed at the document stage instead of after months of engineering work. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Working Backwards PR drafting: Produces a one-page press release with headline, problem, solution, customer quote, and adoption path, following the Amazon canon documented in the bundled references. - Adversarial FAQ generation: Builds a 10-15 question internal FAQ, and when the user supplies fewer than 10 questions, generates the rest from skeptical investor, competitor, support-lead, and senior-engineer postures. - Five-test stress-test pass: Scores the draft on summary clarity, persona recognizability, admitted tradeoffs, named riskiest assumption, and competitor-rebuttal survivability, with a PASS/FAIL grid in the output. - Use Case: A PM considering a new mobile approvals feature runs the skill before writing a PRD; the FAQ surfaces that multi-step approval workflows are out of scope and names push-notification reliability as the riskiest assumption, shaping the actual build plan. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to write a PR-FAQ for your not-yet-built initiative, providing the future launch date, target persona, primary metric, and known tradeoffs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write an Amazon-style PR-FAQ for a new product idea?

Provide the future launch date, target persona, primary metric, and known tradeoffs, and the skill drafts a one-page press release plus a 10-15 question internal FAQ. It then runs a five-test stress-test and revises any failing sections before delivering the final document.

What is the Working Backwards method for product planning?

Working Backwards, canonized at Amazon by Bryar and Carr, inverts the standard process: you write the launch press release and FAQ before building anything. If the document is not compelling, the idea gets fixed or killed at the cheapest possible stage.

Can the PR-FAQ skill generate hard questions I did not think of?

Yes. If you provide fewer than 10 FAQ questions, the skill generates the rest adversarially from four postures: a skeptical investor, a competitor, a customer support lead, and a senior engineer, then answers each honestly.

When should I not use a PR-FAQ for a product decision?

The PR-FAQ is a clarity test, not a viability test — it does not validate market demand, engineering feasibility, or business model. For large approved initiatives needing detailed financials and customer experience mockups, extend to the 6-pager format instead.

What does the PR-FAQ stress-test check for?

It scores five tests: whether the customer benefit pops in the summary paragraph, whether a sales rep could recognize the persona, whether the FAQ admits real tradeoffs, whether the riskiest assumption is named with a mitigation, and whether claims survive a competitor rebuttal.
