SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Vague or rough requests often lead to misaligned execution. This Skill turns an underspecified request into a clear, intent-faithful execution brief, then runs or routes it within the user's authority so work starts from a shared understanding. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Brief Generation: Transforms a rough request into a structured execution brief that captures the user's true intent. - Run or Route Logic: Executes the brief directly or routes it appropriately, staying within the authority the user has granted. - Use Case: You type a loose idea like "clean up the onboarding flow." The Skill produces a precise brief defining scope, intent, and done criteria, then runs or routes the work accordingly. ## Quick Start Invoke the /brief command with your rough request to generate an execution brief and have it run or routed within your authority.

How do I turn a vague request into an execution brief?▼

Invoke the /brief command with your rough request. The Skill routes to the brief procedure, which restructures the request into an intent-faithful brief with clear scope and a Definition of Done before execution.

What does the brief command actually do?▼

The /brief command is a router: it loads the brief procedure defined in the referenced strategy skill file and executes it exactly. The procedure generates the execution brief and then runs or routes the task within the user's authority.

When should I use a brief instead of executing a task directly?▼

Use a brief when the request is rough, ambiguous, or high-stakes and misinterpretation would be costly. Direct execution is fine for clear, narrow tasks; briefs add an intent-alignment step before work begins.

What are the limitations of the brief workflow?▼

The brief Skill depends on an external procedure file at .agents/skills/strategy/brief/SKILL.md; if that file is missing, the command cannot run. It also only acts within the authority the user has explicitly granted.
