SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve? Product ideas often fail because teams build before validating the customer problem. This Skill stress-tests product concepts by forcing you to write the press release and FAQs for a finished product before building anything, exposing weak thinking early. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-Stage Coaching Workflow: Progresses through Ignition, Press Release drafting, Customer FAQ, Internal FAQ, and a final Verdict with honest concept assessment. - Research-Grounded Validation: Fans out artifact analyzer and web researcher subagents to verify competitive, market, and feasibility claims against current data. - Headless Mode: Accepts --headless to autonomously generate a complete first-draft PRFAQ from structured inputs without interaction. - Use Case: A founder with a rough app idea invokes the skill, gets challenged on customer specificity, drafts a press release, answers devil's-advocate customer and stakeholder questions, and receives a PRFAQ document plus a distillate ready for PRD creation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a PRFAQ for your product idea and describe your target customer, their problem, and your solution concept.

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

What is the Working Backwards PRFAQ method?▼

Working Backwards is Amazon's product validation method where you write the press release announcing the finished product before building it. The customer FAQ validates the value proposition externally, while the internal FAQ addresses feasibility, risks, and trade-offs.

Can I generate a PRFAQ automatically without interaction?▼

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

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

Yes, the skill detects whether your concept is a commercial product, internal tool, open-source project, or community initiative. It adapts question framing accordingly, replacing unit economics with maintenance burden and customer acquisition with adoption strategy.

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

If you cannot articulate a specific customer and problem after a few exchanges, the skill recommends running a brainstorming skill first to develop the idea further rather than forcing a weak concept through the process.
