Project Brief Skill

Transform project ideas and brain dumps into structured project definitions with clear scope, goals, and success criteria.

Purpose

This skill helps transform raw ideas, brain dumps, and unstructured thoughts into well-organized project briefs. It extracts key elements, structures them into a standard template, and iterates with the user until the brief is complete.

Inputs

Required:

• project_idea: Raw description or brain dump of the project concept

Optional:

• constraints: Time, budget, or resource limitations
• stakeholders: Who is involved or affected
• existing_docs: Related materials or references

Workflow

Step 1: Extract Key Elements

Parse the brain dump to identify:

• Core idea: What is the fundamental concept?
• Implicit goals: What outcomes are implied?
• Mentioned constraints: What limitations exist?
• Success indicators: How will success be measured?

Step 2: Structure into Template

Organize extracted elements into the brief template (see resources/brief_template.md):

Copy# Project Brief: {project_name}

## Overview
**Created:** {date}
**Status:** Active
**Owner:** Omer

## Problem Statement
{what_problem_does_this_solve}

## Goals
1. {primary_goal}
2. {secondary_goals}

## Scope
### In Scope
- {included_items}

### Out of Scope
- {excluded_items}

## Milestones
| Milestone | Target Date | Status |
|-----------|-------------|--------|
| {milestone_1} | {date} | Not Started |

## Deliverables
- {deliverable_1}

## Success Criteria
- {criterion_1}

## Constraints & Risks
- {constraint_or_risk}

## Notes
{additional_context}

Step 3: Interactive Refinement

CHECKPOINT: Present draft brief to user

Ask clarifying questions:

• "Is the problem statement accurate?"
• "Are there additional goals I should include?"
• "What's the target timeline?"
• "Who are the key stakeholders?"

Iterate until user approves the brief.

Step 4: Save and Notify

• Save as {project}_brief.md in project location
• Suggest next step: "Create task breakdown using task-engine"

Output Format

The brief follows the template in resources/brief_template.md with all placeholders replaced with project-specific content.

Example Interaction

User Input:

"יש לי רעיון לפרויקט חדש - לבנות framework לאסטרטגיית AI לפקולטה למשפטים. רוצה להציע את זה לדיקן."

Skill Response:

1. Extracts: AI strategy, Law Faculty, presentation to Dean
2. Asks: "What's the timeline for the Dean presentation?"
3. Drafts: Brief with goals, scope, milestones
4. Checkpoints: "Does this capture your vision?"
5. Saves: ai_strategy_law_faculty_brief.md
