project-brief

project-brief is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hmj1026/dhpk. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,052 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that turns one technical specification into a short executive brief for a product manager or chief technology officer. It preserves unresolved decisions while leaving the source specification unchanged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a saved summary of one readable technical specification for a management audience.
Why use it?
It makes implementation-heavy material easier for decision-makers to understand without losing important open questions.

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

project-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 yesterday.

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 — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project brief

Convert one technical specification into a PM/CTO-readable executive summary. The input path in $ARGUMENTS is read-only. Parse an optional --output <path> without changing any other argument; when omitted, save beside the source with the -brief suffix. Stop with BLOCKED when the source is missing or unreadable, or when the requested output cannot be written.

$PROJECT_DIR denotes the consumer project root in path examples. It is notation for that root, not a required ambient environment variable. The source and any --output path are consumer project files; preserve the explicit output path or the default beside-source path described above.

When NOT to Use

  • The source technical specification needs correction: edit it through its owning workflow first.
  • The audience needs implementation-level detail, code analysis, or module names: return the technical specification instead.
  • More than one source document or a broad documentation refresh is in scope: use a bounded documentation workflow.

Workflow

  1. Read the source. Resolve the path from $ARGUMENTS, record the source path, and read it completely. Extract the core value proposition. Preserve unresolved decisions instead of silently resolving them.
  2. Extract the business view. Capture one sentence covering what, why, and value; compare current state with target; retain solution pros/cons and the recommendation; keep milestones, risks, dependencies, timeline, and resources.
  3. Simplify deliberately. Remove code snippets, internal module names, and implementation detail. Keep a plain-language architecture overview with no more than three layers. Turn immediate actions into PM/CTO decision points.
  4. Write the brief. Save to the explicit --output path or to the source directory using <stem>-brief<extension>. Do not modify the source file.

The conversion map is:

Technical section Executive treatment
Trust boundary diagram Simplify to at most three architecture layers
Code analysis; reusable modules Remove
System architecture; implementation roadmap Keep in simplified form
Key design decisions Remove implementation detail
Alternative comparison; risks and mitigations; timeline Keep
Immediate actions Simplify to decision points

Changes

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.
