About AgentBrief
AgentBrief generates structured Markdown briefs for coding agents from high-level requests. Users provide a project name, primary stack, desired change, and risk profile, and the tool produces a task brief with context, guardrails, and a definition of done. The briefs include assumptions, regression coverage requirements, and rollback guidance to minimize unintended side effects. The service offers a free starter kit with three templates and a paid Pro version with 18 AGENTS.md templates, 12 task brief recipes, and 8 recovery playbooks. It also provides a custom AGENTS.md service where a repository is audited and a repo-specific agent instruction file is delivered within 24 hours. The tool emphasizes evidence-based completion criteria, such as passing focused tests and verifying edge cases, to ensure predictable outcomes.
