brief — Customer Brief Clarifier

Turns a new customer brief into a clear picture of desired outcome, constraints, and evidence gaps at kickoff.

UtilitiesIntermediate★ 537⑂ 118AI score 6/10Last updated: Sep 15, 2026

What it does

  • Breaks a new customer brief into desired outcome, constraints, and evidence gaps.
  • Reads references/task-context.md (task context contract) then references/land.md (the method) and follows those rules.
  • Avoids re-asking discovery that was already supplied; when invoked by @fde, it reuses the existing sanitized packet and scope instead of restarting setup.
  • Preserves unknowns as unknowns and keeps implementation, verification, deployment, and acceptance distinct.
  • Requires honest reporting of missing capabilities or checks that were not actually run.

Who it's for

  • Consultants, forward-deployed engineers, and solution architects prepping a kickoff or first client meeting.
  • PMs and BAs who must document requirements for a delivery team.
  • Teams that lose time to duplicate questions and missed constraints in early meetings.

Examples

  1. "Here's the client's intake email — extract outcome, constraints, and what we still can't prove."
  2. Before a kickoff call: "List only the open unknowns I must confirm with the customer."
  3. Called inside an @fde workflow so prior discovery is reused and only gaps are filled.
