Well , we do know where Gen 3:15 is going but I believe the gospel was preached to Adam in Gen 2 , the gospel main message has not changed when you really think about it , Obey God and live . That would be the message to pass on .

Gen 2
16And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Gen. 2:16,17 is not gospel; it's law.

The gospel is the good news of Jesus' victory over sin, death and Satan, by his shed blood and substitutionary death on the cross, and his bodily resurrection. This good news was not declared (even in predictive prophecy, like Gen. 3:15) until the law had been broken.

The gospel , gospel means good news . Obey God and Live , I still like the sound of that . Law you say :contemplate: .
The gospel is the good news of Jesus' victory over sin, death and Satan, by his shed blood and substitutionary death on the cross, and his bodily resurrection.
Surely what you say above but the gospel is a good news according to the time frame .
Jesus preached the gospel . Gospel can mean different things are preached at different times in the bible .

Jesus preached this gospel .

Mark 1:15 Context​

12And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. 13And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. 14Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 16Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 17And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 18And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

The word translated, in the N.T., as "gospel" or "good news" is a Greek word that means "good news of a great victory". It was used of, e.g., military victories by a general or Caesar. The focus was on the victor, not any advantage that might accrue to the populace.

Law is "Do this and blessed; do that and be cursed."; it is very different from salvation by grace through in the Messiah to come (in the O.T.), or the Messiah who has come (in the N.T.). No-one has ever been saved by law-keeping.

What was passed down Adam's descendants was what God told Adam and Eve, in Gen. 3:15, as well as God covering them, with skins from the death and necessary shedding of blood of an animal (probably a lamb), following their breaking of His law not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Have you considered that the offering of Abel was not one of blood?
We don't have a record of God instructing A&E or Cain and Able in the killing of animals .....or sacrifice. In fact, what we have is Cain and Able bringing 'offerings' of their own volition.
If your children were to bring you an offering would you want a dead animal? I would guess that would be the last thing you'd want.
Without engaging eisegesis we also need to ask, why wasn't the Lord pleased with Cain's offering?

Regarding 'skins from death'. That is a very strange thing to attribute to God since Jesus told us that it was the 'thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy' (John 10:10)

I propose this, if God can make complete animals with word I'm sure he can make 'skins' as well, with a word. Besides, the word 'skins', could it be 'coverings?' It's a thought.
There is also, God's question to A&E, 'who told you that you were naked? (Genesis 3:11) Who do you think told them?

further...... What we (Christians) have done is extrapolate from eisegesis and conclude from faulty assumptions.
