Brief

Invocation

This skill is performed in the Product Owner persona. If you are not already running as Product Owner (for example, the user invoked /brief directly), read subagents/product-owner.md and adopt its role guidance for the rest of this task. Stay in the current chat—do not delegate to a subagent.

Objective

Create a product brief and save it to docs/briefs/{project-name-slug}.md.

Instructions

1. Explain the brief creation process and ask for the feature or project name.
2. Quick codebase grounding. Once you have a working name, dispatch one research subagent with a prompt like: "Does anything resembling {feature name} already exist in this repo? Return a short structured summary with file paths and line ranges, current behavior, and obvious gaps. Do not paste file contents." Use the returned summary to sharpen scope and out-of-scope items in the questions below. Do not rabbit-hole on implementation; this pass exists only to keep the brief honest.
3. Ask questions one at a time to capture:
   • core problem or goal
   • target user or audience
   • non-negotiable requirements or constraints
   • out-of-scope items (cross-reference the discovery summary so you don't redefine something that already exists)
   • success metrics
   • business context or motivation
4. Read templates/product-brief-template.md and follow its structure.
5. Save the completed brief to docs/briefs/{project-name-slug}.md.
6. End with the brief path, the key decisions captured, and the recommended next step: /spec.
