Burnable Visual Briefs

Overview

Turn dense material into an adaptive visual-first, minimal-text, self-contained HTML brief. The brief is a disposable communication surface, never the authoritative evidence store. “Visual” means information is made faster to understand through deliberate spatial, typographic, relational, or measured encoding; it does not require a conventional graph or chart.

This package is standalone: its bundled starting assets, selection reference, and Python standard-library validator require no companion skill, private workspace policy, or preconfigured cleanup service.

Trigger gate

Use when at least one condition holds:

• the user explicitly asks for a visual, graphic, map, diagram, dashboard, or burnable HTML report;
• a comparison, architecture, process, dependency, decision, risk boundary, or body of evidence would be clearer through deliberate visual structure than prose alone;
• a long unattended automation period has produced enough outcomes, changes, verification, remaining risks/decisions, or next-frontier updates that a chronological chat dump would impose high catch-up cost;
• the content would otherwise require a long, dense chat response that the user must study rather than answer immediately.

Do not use for:

• a simple fact, short answer, exact command, urgent alert, or routine status;
• source code or a diff that must be copied exactly;
• canonical research, investment, audit, or legal artifacts that require a durable domain-specific report contract;
• decoration without information gain.

For simple communication, answer directly in chat. A brief must reduce reading cost, not add another artifact by habit.
