Skill 08
Writing a Brief
The skill of asking well — so the next Build session does not start with a shrug.
Doctrine
- Name the product, the visitor, and the first action they should take.
- Prefer one coherent app over a pile of features.
- Call out constraints: mobile, no accounts, must work offline, and so on.
Must
- Be specific enough that a stranger could start building.
- Say what done looks like.
Never
- Just 'make an app' or 'something cool' with no spine.
- Ask for a multiplayer competitive server on this target.
