brief

brief is a skill for Claude Code from mirkobozzetto/arsenal. It costs 22 tokens per session (376 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product-brief writing skill that interviews you about a feature, then creates user stories, scope, success measures, and a nested task list. A product brief describes what to build and why, rather than the technical design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Specifying features, documenting users and problems, defining scope and success metrics, and creating an ordered task list in project files.
Why use it?
It turns feature ideas into a structured plan with agreed goals and boundaries before implementation. The resulting tasks give the coding work a starting checklist.

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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/render.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Brief

Clarify only missing product decisions: user, problem, scope, constraints and observable success. Do not repeat information already supplied or require a numeric business metric for a small usability change. Group related questions in plain prose; no start/proceed confirmations. -a/-s allow explicit assumptions, not invented certainty or external permissions.

Write docs/brief//brief.md and tasks.md. Keep the existing frontmatter and structural headings Acceptance criteria, Success metrics, Out-of-scope, Relevant Files and Tasks. Derive outcome tasks from acceptance criteria; do not inflate them into a fixed number of phases. One feature, one folder.

Mark ready only when the brief is complete; never implement automatically. Render with scripts/render.py only for --html or an explicit request. No mandatory browser, commit, test run, or handoff menu. Report paths and the next action if requested. Existing files are updated, not duplicated.

Arsenal handoff

When called by Arsenal for an explicitly requested broader task, return the brief, its readiness and unresolved decisions to Arsenal. Do not launch ship yourself. Arsenal may continue an authorized implementation once the brief is ready; a request for a brief alone never authorizes implementation.

Execution policy

Work solo. Ask before any subagent or reviewer, even in auto mode. Explain the independent scope and expected benefit first. No hidden advisor, nested delegation, model retuning, repeated successful checks, or progress spam. Use existing context before asking questions. Stop when the requested result is delivered. User stops and scope changes override pending steps.

Files

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
