PRFAQ LLM Prompt Guide

The LLM Prompt Guide extends Amazon’s famous Working Backwards playbook by turning a classic six-page PRFAQ narrative from an AI / LLM prompt engineering workflow. Instead of asking ChatGPT, Claude, or any other language model to “just write the doc” the guide forces critical thinking first, then layers AI assistance where it adds the most value: discovery, brainstorming, and structured feedback.

Why it matters for founders, product managers, and operators, and how the guide can help you:

“Blank-page syndrome” -> Provides step-by-step prompts that surface assumptions before writing

Low-quality / rambling LLM output -> Frames the context first, so the model delivers precise, customer-centric insights.

Misalignment -> Helps you produce a single six-page artifact that synthesizes the vision, problem, solution, and go-to-market.

Shallow thinking -> Prompts you to question urgency, severity, competitive landscape, jobs-to-be-done, and inflection points.

By fusing Generative AI with Amazon-style document rigor, the framework turns narrative writing into a strategic product-market-fit accelerator.

The five prompts the guide provides are:

1 - Spark & Opportunity - Helps you think through the customer, problem, and personal goals.

2 - Problem, Market, and Inflection - Helps you deep dive on urgency, current solutions, trends, and technology shifts.

3 - Solution & Go-to-Market - Helps you explore differentiators, feasibility, resource needs, risk, and distribution hypotheses.

4 - PRFAQ Composition - Helps you brainstorm FAQs and your press release

5 - PRFAQ Feedback - Provides a critique of your document from all perspectives: content, grammar, style, strategy/vision, coherence, etc.

The guide has built-in best practices and principles on PRFAQ:

Customer-centric: ensures that you ground your thinking on what matters to address the customer problems, needs, and desires.
Aspirational (yet feasible): borrowing from Amazon's DNA, it helps you think of an exciting future for the project.
Clear, Concise, and Coherent: discourages buzzwords and fluff, and focus on precise writing rules.
Truth-seeking: labels assumptions/hypotheses vs. facts, help identify gaps in your thinking.
Strategic decision tool: help you get to a go / no-go decision.

How to leverage AI & LLMs without losing the “thinking”

Divergent research: Ask the model for adjacent markets, emerging inflections, etc.
Contextual brainstorming: Feed your PRFAQ back into the model to generate future ideas, marketing hooks, technical architectures, and provide general context.
Automated critique: Use the prompt to catch logical gaps, jargon, and customer-value mismatch.

Remember that *writing is thinking*, and outsourcing that step kills strategic insights.

If you are a founder chasing product-market-fit, a product manager aligning cross-functional teams, or an operator seeking funding, download the PRFAQ LLM Prompt Guide and turn your Gen-AI chat into a structured, Amazon-inspired strategy buddy. Master these prompts and your next big idea will read like tomorrow's success with clarity, credibility, and in a compelling way.
