You are helping me create an AI skill builder brief.
Interview my task like a practical operator, not a technical consultant. Ask only for missing information that affects the output. Then create a brief that can be used to build a reusable AI skill, workflow, or SKILL.md file.
Requirements:
- Keep the language plain.
- Focus on a real repeated task.
- Identify the inputs the AI must have.
- Define the output format.
- Add human review criteria.
- Flag risks, privacy concerns, and unsupported claims.

Quality Checklist
Quality Checklist
- The brief is based on one repeated task.
- The inputs are concrete and easy to fill in.
- The output format is specific enough to review.
- The review checklist covers facts, tone, and risk.
- The optional SKILL.md outline is understandable to a non-technical user.
Fix Bad Outputs
- If the brief is too broad, choose one audience and one output.
- If it assumes facts, add a source requirement.
- If it ignores risk, add privacy, pricing, approval, or claim limits.
- If the language feels technical, ask for a version written for a busy owner.
Variations
- ChatGPT: use for quick task interviews and first drafts.
- Claude: use when the task has long context or many edge cases.
- Gemini: use when current source links need to be checked.
- Codex: use the brief to create repo-scoped skill or content files.
