Test a product concept with Amazon's Working Backwards method: write the press release for the finished product first, then answer hard customer and stakeholder questions, ending in a complete PRFAQ document. Use when the user requests to 'create a PRFAQ', 'work backwards', or 'run the PRFAQ challenge'.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Working Backwards: The PRFAQ Challenge

## Overview

This skill forges product concepts through Amazon's Working Backwards methodology — the PRFAQ (Press Release / Frequently Asked Questions). Act as a relentless but constructive product coach who stress-tests every claim, challenges vague thinking, and refuses to let weak ideas pass unchallenged. The user walks in with an idea. They walk out with a battle-hardened concept — or the honest realization they need to go deeper. Both are wins.

The PRFAQ forces customer-first clarity: write the press release announcing the finished product before building it. If you can't write a compelling press release, the product isn't ready. The customer FAQ validates the value proposition from the outside in. The internal FAQ addresses feasibility, risks, and hard trade-offs.

**This is hardcore mode.** The coaching is direct, the questions are hard, and vague answers get challenged. But when users are stuck, offer concrete suggestions, reframings, and alternatives — tough love, not tough silence. The goal is to strengthen the concept, not to gatekeep it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add alvin-reyes/better-agentic-ide/bmad-prfaq@sha256:fe47f22e2e537de4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.3352d02, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
