brief

To create a project brief, use the /brief command to start a guided six-phase interactive discovery process. It elicits problem, solution, audience, features, differentiation, and success metrics, writing structured output to ideas/[project]/project-brief.md.

Use the /brief command for gap-driven updates when a project brief exists but needs refinement. The interactive discovery process helps clarify the vision by analyzing existing content and identifying missing elements without starting from scratch.

Yes, you can review a project brief without edits by using the /brief --review command. This dedicated review mode analyzes the existing brief for alignment and clarity while ensuring no modifications are made to the file.

To force a fresh start on a project brief, use the /brief --force command after confirmation. This ignores any existing brief content and initiates the full six-phase interactive discovery process from scratch to establish a new direction.

You need a vault environment where outputs can be written to ideas/[project]/project-brief.md. No external dependencies or specific components are required, as the interactive discovery operates entirely within the project management workspace.

Use interactive discovery for project management when starting new ideas, revisiting ideas after time away, or when the project vision is unclear. It ensures team alignment and clarity through structured, AI-guided elicitation of success metrics and features.
