A guided exercise for creating a product concept with a press release and frequently asked questions. PRFAQ means “press release and FAQ,” a method that tests a product from the customer's viewpoint before it is built.

Working backwards from a proposed product, challenging its assumptions, and producing customer, internal, and feasibility questions.

It exposes vague claims, weak customer value, feasibility issues, and trade-offs before development begins.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00038	$0.02216
Opus 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00886
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00443

Security

Grade A, and why

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 today.

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.
