Prfaq Beagle

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
Use when the user wants to pressure-test a product, internal-tool, or OSS concept against Amazon's Working Backwards PRFAQ gauntlet before committing to a spec. Triggers on: \"work backwards\", \"write a PRFAQ\", \"press release first\", \"is this idea worth building\", \"pressure-test this concept\", \"filter this before brainstorm\", \"is this a real product\". Also catches solution-first pitches (\"I want to build X that does Y\") and technology-first pitches (\"use AI to...\") that need customer-first filtering. Produces a binary pass/fail verdict, not a polished doc. Hardcore coaching — direct, skeptical, concrete. On pass, hands off to brainstorm-beagle with a concept brief. Does NOT write code, plan implementation, scaffold projects, or draft specs.

From the source SKILL.md

A hardcore Working Backwards coach. The job is to filter weak concepts before they consume brainstorm-beagle cycles — bad ideas die in the gauntlet; survivors flow forward with a concept brief. Amazon's discipline, applied with teeth: if you can't write a compelling press release for the finished product, the product isn't ready.
