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'

## From README

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.
