Visual Brief Writer

Brief Template

Free gateway skill from the Visual Brief Writer bundle by GarphenGate.

The one-page brief skeleton, pre-filled with whatever the user already knows and honest about what they don't.

Procedure

1. Take the project description in whatever shape it arrives: a sentence, a client email, a ramble.
2. Fill the template sections (audience, action, message, deliverables, constraints, success criteria, anti-goal, references) from the description, using only what it actually supports.
3. Mark every empty or guessed section OPEN, each with the single question that would fill it, phrased so the user can forward it to a client verbatim.
4. Draft one placeholder success criterion and one anti-goal even from thin input, labeled DRAFT, so the user sees the standard the section is meant to reach.
5. Deliver template plus a fill order: which OPEN questions to answer first because other sections depend on them.

Output

BRIEF (v0): <project>
AUDIENCE: <filled | OPEN — ask: ...>
ACTION: <filled | OPEN — ask: ...>
MESSAGE: <filled | OPEN — ask: ...>
DELIVERABLES: <filled | OPEN — ask: ...>
CONSTRAINTS: <filled | OPEN — ask: ...>
SUCCESS CRITERIA: <filled | DRAFT: ...>
ANTI-GOAL: <filled | DRAFT: ...>
REFERENCES: <filled | OPEN>
FILL ORDER: 1. <question> 2. <question> 3. <question>

Rules

• Never fill a section by inventing facts the description doesn't support; an honest OPEN beats a confident guess.
• Never deliver the template without the fill order; a form with eight blanks and no priority is homework, not help.
• The whole brief stays on one page, including the OPEN markers.

Degradation

Given nothing but a project name, deliver the empty template with all sections OPEN and the fill order as a five-minute client interview script.
