    **WORKING BACKWARDS:** GitLog — Automated Changelog for Indie Developers ── PRESS RELEASE ────────────────────────── [HEADLINE] Indie Developers Keep Their Users Informed — Without Writing a Single Changelog Entry by Hand [SUBHEADLINE] GitLog turns commit messages into a polished public changelog, publishing automatically on every merge to main. [Opening paragraph] Indie developers who build in public know that a transparent changelog builds trust — but writing it manually after every release gets skipped under deadline pressure. GitLog solves this with zero configuration. "We were pushing updates every day but our users had no idea what changed. GitLog made us look like a real product team without adding any overhead." — Alex, solo dev ── WORKING BACKWARDS VERDICT ────────────── **Customer:** Solo indie developers shipping in public **Problem:** Changelogs get skipped under deadline pressure — users are left in the dark **Build Signal:** GREEN — narrow customer, specific pain, v1 is 2 endpoints + a cron job

    About this skill

    Stop Building Products No One Wants

    The Bezos Working Backwards skill implements the rigorous product development methodology used by Amazon to launch world-changing products like AWS, Kindle, and Prime. Instead of starting with code or features, this skill forces you to work backwards from the customer experience.

    High-Leverage Product Validation

    By simulating a future product launch, this skill helps you identify fatal flaws in your logic before you spend a single dollar on development. It moves beyond simple brainstorming to produce a professional PR/FAQ document—the gold standard for high-stakes decision-making.

    What You Get

    • Customer Discovery: Deep-dive questions to narrow down your target persona and their specific pain points.
    • Future-Dated Press Release: A narrative-driven announcement that focuses on customer outcomes rather than technical jargon.
    • External & Internal FAQs: Comprehensive answers to tough questions from both customers and skeptical stakeholders, including risk assessments and success metrics.
    • The Build Signal: A definitive "Green/Yellow/Red" verdict on whether the idea is worth pursuing.

    Engineered for Clarity

    Unlike standard LLM brainstorming, this skill strictly adheres to the "Working Backwards" mandates: no bullet points in the PR, zero jargon, and brutal honesty regarding failure modes. It is compatible with major developer tools including Cursor, Claude Code, and VS Code.
