brief

brief is a command for Claude Code from fatihkan/badi. It costs 0 tokens per session (800 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-briefing command that turns a raw idea into a structured brief with the problem, proposed solution, users, success measure, scope, assumptions, and user stories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define what belongs in the first phase, what is deferred, who the users are, how success will be measured, and which assumptions the project depends on.
Why use it?
Early ideas often leave important boundaries and expectations unstated. The brief makes those details explicit so the project can be discussed and planned more clearly.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

brief scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project briefing command. Turns raw project ideas into structured, actionable briefs.

Required Tools

  • Read (existing project info)
  • Write (brief file)
  • Grep (similar project search)
  • Glob (resource scan)

Procedure (7 Steps)

Step 1: Capture the Idea

Collect from the user (accept it even unstructured):

  • Problem: What problem are we solving?
  • Solution: How do we plan to solve it?
  • Users: Who will use it? (primary and secondary audience)
  • Success Criterion: How will we measure success?
  • Motivation: Why now? What triggered it?

However raw the idea, convert it into a structured format.

Step 2: Define the Scope

Draw clear lines:

In Scope:

  • Features delivered in phase one
  • Core user flows
  • Minimum technical requirements

Out of Scope:

  • Features deliberately excluded
  • Work deferred to future phases
  • Responsibility boundaries

Assumptions:

  • Technical assumptions (infrastructure, access, etc.)
  • Business assumptions (budget, time, resources)
  • User assumptions (skill level, access, etc.)

Step 3: User Stories (MoSCoW)

Write 5-10 user stories, each with:

  • Format: "As a [role], I want [goal], so that [benefit]."
  • Acceptance criteria (2-4 items)
  • MoSCoW priority:
    • Must: The product cannot work without it
    • Should: Important but can miss the first release
    • Could: Nice to have, not a priority
    • Won't: Deliberately not done in this phase

Step 4: Technical Assessment

  • Tech Stack: Suggested languages, frameworks, tools
  • Integrations: Third-party services and APIs
  • Data Requirements: Database, storage, data flow
  • Infrastructure: Hosting, CI/CD, monitoring
  • Constraints: Performance requirements, compliance, scale
  • Technical Debt Risk: Known shortcuts or workarounds
  • Build vs Buy Analysis: Which components to build, which to use off the shelf?

Step 5: Risk Identification

Build a risk matrix:

Risk Likelihood (1-5) Impact (1-5) Risk Score Mitigation Strategy
[risk description] [value] [value] [LxI] [strategy]

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

brief is a command published in the GitHub repository fatihkan/badi (7 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 800 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
