Rootnode Project Brief

Quality score: 70/100 · Category: Engineering · Sub-category: architecture

lang:javascript

Generates a structured Project Brief — a comprehensive markdown document that extracts goals, architecture, knowledge file inventory, Custom Instructions summary, Memory contents, current state, ecosystem position, and key decisions from a Claude Project. Briefs serve as uploadable context documents: add one to any other Project for immediate deep awareness of the source Project's purpose, architecture, and progress. Use when user says "create a brief," "brief this project," "extract project context," "generate a project summary for another project," "I need to share this project's context," "prepare this project for cross-project reference," or "document this project." Also use when the user is preparing to work across Projects and needs portable context. Do NOT use for session handoffs, project audits, or Memory optimization (use rootnode-session-handoff, rootnode-project-audit, or rootnode-memory-optimization respectively, if available).
