SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Product teams often commit engineering resources before validating customer value, leading to misaligned stakeholders and failed launches. This Skill applies Amazon's Working Backwards methodology to force clarity on customer benefit before any code is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Press Release Generation: Writes a future-dated launch announcement with headline, problem, solution, spokesperson and customer quotes, and call to action. - External and Internal FAQ: Produces customer-facing answers plus rigorous internal analysis covering TAM, unit economics, risks, and technical feasibility. - Premortem and Success Metrics: Identifies failure scenarios upfront and defines North Star metrics and KPIs. - Use Case: Before building a new AI support agent, generate a complete PR-FAQ to align founders, validate the $99/month pricing model, and surface risks like accuracy shortfalls before investing three months of engineering time. ## Quick Start Generate an Amazon-style PR-FAQ for my proposed product idea and save it to product/pr-faq.md.

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

Start with a future-dated press release covering headline, problem, solution, and quotes, then add external customer FAQs, internal FAQs covering TAM and unit economics, and a premortem. This Skill generates the full document and saves it to product/pr-faq.md.

What is the Working Backwards methodology?▼

Working Backwards is Amazon's product development approach that starts with the customer experience and works backwards to the technology. Writing the press release first forces teams to articulate customer pain and benefits before committing engineering resources.

When should I use a PR-FAQ instead of a traditional product spec?▼

Use a PR-FAQ when proposing a new product or major feature, especially before investments exceeding three months or $50K. It is most effective for aligning stakeholders around a vision rather than documenting implementation details.

What sections does a complete PR-FAQ document include?▼

A complete PR-FAQ includes a one-page press release, external customer FAQ, internal FAQ covering strategy, financials, and technical feasibility, a premortem with failure scenarios, and success metrics with a North Star and KPIs.

What are the limitations of the PR-FAQ approach?▼

The PR-FAQ relies on hypothetical quotes and market estimates that require validation with real customer research. It does not replace technical design documents or detailed engineering planning needed after concept approval.
