bmad-prfaq

bmad-prfaq is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from marlonvidal/tech-manager-os. It costs 44 tokens per session (2,279 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bmad-prfaq, MIT.

A product-planning exercise based on a PRFAQ: a press release and frequently asked questions written before the product is built. It tests the idea from the customer's point of view and examines practical concerns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or challenge a PRFAQ, clarify who a product serves, test its value, and examine how it could work.
Why use it?
It exposes vague claims, weak customer value, risks, and difficult trade-offs before development begins. This helps decide whether an idea is ready or needs more work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bmad-prfaq scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

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.

Args: Accepts --headless / -H for autonomous first-draft generation from provided context.

Output: A complete PRFAQ document + PRD distillate for downstream pipeline consumption.

Research-grounded. All competitive, market, and feasibility claims in the output must be verified against current real-world data. Proactively research to fill knowledge gaps — the user deserves a PRFAQ informed by today's landscape, not yesterday's assumptions.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
