Amazon-style Working-Backwards PRFAQ: a future press release plus internal and external FAQs that stress-test a product concept before any building begins. Produces prfaq.md in the configured output folder. Use when the user says: "write a PRFAQ", "working backwards", "press release", "future press release", "stress-test the concept", "validate the idea before building", "internal FAQ", "external FAQ", "Amazon-style product brief", or "PRFAQ for [product/feature]". Also use when someone wants to clarify or update an existing PRFAQ, or validate a draft against the Working-Backwards criteria. Supports three intents: Create / Update / Validate.
