Generate the brief the agent should have received.
Turn a vague request into a scoped task with source context, permission boundaries, acceptance checks, and a way back when work fails. Start from a complete example or replace each field with your own.
Each example fills every field. Load the nearest shape, then replace its details.

Why it is shaped this way
The brief becomes the review checklist
Purpose and grounding tell the agent what problem exists and which sources deserve trust. Scope and boundaries limit the work and its consequences. Acceptance and handoff turn “done” into evidence another person can inspect.
A useful brief stays small enough to review. If the required work cannot fit into clear stages with a check at the end of each one, split the task before work begins.
