SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Deciding whether a feature idea is worth building is often driven by enthusiasm rather than evidence. This Skill forces customer-first validation by running Amazon's Working Backwards process as a structured interview, then producing a full PR/FAQ document with an explicit GO, NO-GO, or NOT-YET verdict before any engineering time is committed. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided nine-question interview: Asks one question at a time covering customer, problem, alternatives, solution, differentiation, strategic fit, market size, and risks, saving answers to a resumable working file. - Context-aware drafting: Reads existing product knowledge, personas, feedback, and competitive files in the repo to pre-fill draft answers, citing the source file for every metric or quote. - PR/FAQ document with verdict: Generates a one-page mock press release, external and internal FAQs, and an honest build verdict with risk flags and the conditions that would flip a No. - Use Case: A PM has an idea for an AI meeting-summary feature and asks "should we build this?" The Skill interviews them, pulls evidence from user interview transcripts, and delivers a PR/FAQ ending in a NOT-YET verdict naming the blocking assumption to test. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a PR/FAQ working backwards analysis on your feature idea to decide whether it is worth building.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a PR/FAQ using the Amazon working backwards method?▼

Start the skill with your feature idea and it interviews you through nine questions covering customer, problem, alternatives, solution, differentiation, strategy, market size, and risks. It then writes the full press release, external and internal FAQs, and a build verdict from your stored answers.

What is a PR/FAQ and when should product managers use one?▼

A PR/FAQ is Amazon's Working Backwards artifact: a mock launch press release plus customer and internal FAQs written before building anything. Use it when evaluating whether a feature idea deserves engineering investment, since a weak press release exposes a weak idea early.

Can the PR/FAQ process use my existing product research documents?▼

Yes. The skill scans the repository for product knowledge, personas, user feedback, interview transcripts, and competitive analysis files, then uses them to pre-fill draft answers. Every metric or quote pulled from the repo is cited to its source file.

How does the go/no-go verdict in a PR/FAQ get decided?▼

The verdict judges four dimensions: customer clarity, problem size, differentiation, and strategic fit. A blocking unresolved risk yields NOT-YET, a fatal flaw like no differentiation yields NO-GO, and every verdict includes the conditions that would flip it to GO.

What are the limitations of the working backwards PR/FAQ approach?▼

The PR/FAQ is a planning and decision tool, not an execution spec; once an idea clears the bar, normal delivery processes take over. It also depends on honest answers, so vague customer definitions or invented metrics undermine the verdict.
