Brief
Produce a decision-ready brief, not a transcript of the work that led to it.
- Resolve the owner binder. Read its
BINDER.md, linked active workstream, relevant area context, andlibrary/reference/me.mdwhen voice matters. - Inspect
library/templates/brief.md. Reuse its structure only where each section earns its place. - Establish audience, decision or outcome, evidence, constraints, scope, risks, and next step. Ask only for material facts that cannot be discovered.
- For an existing file, preserve settled facts and edit in place. For a new file, write it inside the owner binder with a descriptive filename.
- Keep execution state in the linked
WORKSTREAM.md; do not duplicate status logs in the brief. - After writing, summarize what changed, unresolved questions, and the artifact path. Do not create a receipt for the document edit.
If the work changes current execution state, update the linked workstream separately and create a receipt only for that workstream revision transition.
Do not invent links, metrics, quotations, or stakeholder positions. Do not commit or publish unless the user separately asks.
