Task Brief

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: agents-skills-meta  ·  Last updated:
Rewrite a task request into the canonical XML brief — objective, inputs, invariants, success_criteria, boundaries, autonomy, verification, communication, output_format — so the worker receives one judgeable definition of done instead of prose. Runs in two directions: INBOUND reshapes a sprawling or half-formed request (pasted requirements, a wall of background, a request that grew across several messages) into that shape, filling each field from context already on screen and deleting sections that do not apply; OUTBOUND writes the prompt that a spawned worker actually receives, so nobody hand-rolls a one-off prompt shape per delegation. Trigger on "브리프로 정리", "작업 지시서로 만들어", "프롬프트 구조화", "브리프 만들어줘", "이 요청 정리해줘", and in English "turn this into a task brief", "structure this prompt", "write the brief for this", "draft the spawn prompt". Fire unprompted the moment you are about to hand a multi-part task to a subagent, a workflow worker, or a parallel lane. Do NOT fire on a one-line question, a lookup, or an ordinary conversational exchange where you simply need one more piece of information — asking a clarifying question is not a brief, and wrapping a one-sentence ask in nine XML tags costs more than it buys.

From the source SKILL.md

A single shape for "here is the task". The point is not tidiness — it is that every field is a place where an unstated assumption would otherwise stay unstated. A worker that receives prose guesses what done means; a worker that receives this brief can be judged against it.

What this skill does

Task Brief is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the agents-skills-meta sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/task-brief/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Task Brief Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

When should I use the Task Brief skill?
Use Task Brief when your Claude Code task falls under the General category — specifically in the agents skills meta area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Task Brief" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/general/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Task Brief skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Task Brief is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.
