SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve? Product concepts often reach development without being validated from the customer's perspective, leading to wasted effort on weak ideas. This Skill stress-tests a product concept using Amazon's Working Backwards PRFAQ method before any PRD is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-Stage Coaching Workflow: Guides the user through Ignition, Press Release drafting, Customer FAQ, Internal FAQ, and a final Verdict, challenging vague answers at each step. - Research-Grounded Output: Fans out artifact-analyzer and web-researcher subagents to ground competitive and market claims in current data. - Headless Mode: Accepts --headless / -H to autonomously generate a first-draft PRFAQ from structured inputs (customer, problem, stakes, solution). - Use Case: A founder with a rough product idea runs the PRFAQ challenge and receives a complete press release, customer and internal FAQs, a candid verdict, and a distillate file ready to feed into PRD creation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the PRFAQ challenge on your product concept and answer its questions about your customer, their problem, and your proposed solution.

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 new product idea?▼

Run the PRFAQ challenge and provide your customer persona, their concrete problem, why it matters, and your solution concept. The workflow then coaches you through drafting a press release, customer FAQ, and internal FAQ before delivering a final verdict.

What is the Working Backwards PRFAQ method?▼

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

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. The skill validates the input schema, runs research subagents, and produces a complete first-draft PRFAQ document without interaction.

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

Yes, the workflow detects the concept type early, including internal tools, open-source projects, and community initiatives. It recalibrates FAQ questions, replacing unit economics with maintenance burden and customer acquisition with adoption strategy.

What outputs does the PRFAQ challenge produce?▼

It produces a complete PRFAQ markdown document with press release, both FAQ sections, and a verdict assessment, plus a separate distillate file. The distillate contains dense context bullets designed as token-efficient input for downstream PRD creation.
