Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned robdefeo/agent-skills at 0b9da00edd.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to apply Amazon's "Working Backwards" methodology, a process used to develop products and services by starting with the customer experience and working backward to define the solution. It helps in crafting clear value propositions, identifying key requirements, and aligning teams around a shared vision.

When to use it

  • When designing new features or products that need strong customer focus
  • During brainstorming sessions to ensure alignment with user needs
  • To structure product development efforts around measurable outcomes
  • When preparing for internal reviews or stakeholder presentations

Key capabilities

  • Guides the creation of a press release as a starting point for product design
  • Helps define the customer experience and key requirements upfront
  • Encourages teams to think about the end goal before diving into implementation details

Example prompts

  • "Use the Working Backwards method to outline a new feature for our app."
  • "Help me draft a press release for a product we're developing."
  • "Walk me through how to apply Amazon's Working Backwards approach to this project."

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill works best when used with clear customer insights or user research.
  • It may require additional input from stakeholders to fully define the scope and requirements.
