THE ONE-SCREEN BRIEF — Write briefs AI agents actually follow

Agents wander when you hand them a foggy memo. This short guide gives you a one-screen template so they actually follow the job: Goal, Done-looks-like, Constraints, Files in scope, Tools allowed, and a clear stop condition. Inside you'll find two filled examples (a coding handoff and a content/research handoff), a failure-mode checklist (vague goals, missing stops, secrets in the brief), and a printable blank card for the next brief you send. Warm, practical, no corporate fog — just enough clarity that the agent can move without guessing.

When the brief is done and a vendor goes dark, the next sheets are the Field Kit ($17): a portability ledger, permissions map, fallback matrix, kill-switch card, outcome-cost sheet, worksheets, a one-page weekly continue/stop/start, and an illustrative shock drill. Not a prompt dump. Field Kit ($17).
