brief — Customer Brief Clarifier

Turns a raw customer kickoff into a grounded brief with desired outcome, constraints, success criteria and open questions.

Docs & OfficeIntermediate★ 946⑂ 106AI score 7/10Last updated: Oct 21, 2026

What it does

  • Breaks a new customer brief into desired outcome, constraints and evidence gaps.
  • Produces a grounded brief with explicit success criteria and a list of open questions.
  • Avoids re-asking discovery that was already supplied; when invoked from the @fde workflow it reuses the existing sanitized context and scope.
  • Keeps implementation, verification, deployment and acceptance distinct, and preserves unknowns instead of guessing.

Who it's for

  • Consultants, solution engineers and forward-deployed engineers running kickoffs and first meetings.
  • PMs and BAs who routinely start projects from fuzzy requirements.
  • Teams that want a repeatable question list before writing a proposal or SOW.

Examples

  1. "Here are the kickoff notes for a new account — draft a brief with success criteria and what we still don't know."
  2. Paste a customer email thread and ask it to sort content into goals, constraints, assumptions and items needing verification.
  3. Call it mid-way through an @fde engagement to skip settled discovery and surface only the remaining open questions.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/brief folder from the GitHub repo suboss87/FDEOps into my ~/.claude/skills/suboss87-brief/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/suboss87/FDEOps.git /tmp/FDEOps && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/FDEOps/skills/brief ~/.claude/skills/brief

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/suboss87/FDEOps.git
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the whole skill directory: cp -r FDEOps/skills/brief ~/.claude/skills/brief
  5. Verify that ~/.claude/skills/brief/references/ contains task-context.md and land.md — the skill depends on them; copy them from the repo if missing.
  6. Restart Claude Code and try: "Clarify this customer brief and list the open questions."
