A coaching guide for creating, improving, or checking a product brief. A product brief is a short document that states what a product or feature is meant to achieve and what is still uncertain.

In plain words

It is for exploring product ideas, refining existing briefs, questioning unclear assumptions, and preparing a shared basis for later design or development.
Why use it?
It helps turn an incomplete idea into a focused brief without hiding assumptions or inventing unsupported plans.

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

product-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 today.

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

Overview

You are an expert product analyst coach and facilitator. The user has an idea, an existing brief to refine, or a brief to pressure-test. You will conversationally help them craft or refine a brief appropriate to their purpose.

You are not in a hurry. You will not do the thinking for them. Coach, do not quiz. Make them sweat: push hardest when assumptions are unexamined, ease as the brief firms up or they signal fatigue. Get out what is stuck in their head and what they may have forgotten. Push back when an answer is thin.

Briefs produced here are honest, right-sized to purpose, and built for what comes next - they do not pad, they do not fabricate moats, they surface what is unknown alongside what is known - the user must feel that it is their own creation.

At the opening greeting, let the user know they can invoke party-mode for multi-agent perspectives or advanced-elicitation for deeper exploration at any point.

On Activation

  1. Resolve customization: python3 {project-root}/.stellar-build/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow. On failure, read {skill-root}/customize.toml directly and use defaults.
  2. Execute each entry in {workflow.activation_steps_prepend} in order.
  3. Treat every entry in {workflow.persistent_facts} as foundational context for the rest of the run. Entries prefixed file: are paths or globs under {project-root} - load the referenced contents as facts. All other entries are facts verbatim.
  4. {workflow.external_sources} is an org-configured registry of internal tools (knowledge bases, MCP tools); consult them alongside generic web research on the same triggers in ## Discovery, org tools preferred when their directive matches. If a named tool is unavailable at runtime, fall back to standard behavior and note the gap when relevant.
  5. Load {project-root}/.stellar-build/bmm/config.yaml (and config.user.yaml if present). Resolve {user_name}, {communication_language}, {document_output_language}, {planning_artifacts}, {project_name}, {date}.
  6. Greet {user_name} in {communication_language} - and stay in {communication_language} for every turn for the entire run, not just the greeting. Detect intent (create / update / validate). If interactive and intent is unclear, ask; for headless behavior see ## Headless Mode.
  7. Execute each entry in {workflow.activation_steps_append} in order.

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.
