Check briefings for gaps

A good briefing gives your team confidence: What's the goal? What's needed? And what still needs to be clarified? Whether it's a short task description or a detailed document, the Briefing Checker helps you find the key information and spot gaps before work begins.

Ideal for project managers and teams who want to start work with complete briefings.

The problem

The briefing is ready, but can your team get started? Sometimes it's so brief that important details are missing, such as the target audience, a required file, or who needs to approve the work. Other times, everything is buried in a multipage PDF, and you have to hunt for the key information. In both cases, it takes time to get clarity before the actual work can begin.

1. What this use case does

The agent checks the briefing you provide for gaps and ambiguities. For short briefings, it points out details that may be missing. For detailed briefings, it helps you review the relevant information and identify open questions. It summarizes what's already been described and suggests specific follow-up questions. You decide which suggestions are relevant to your project.

2. How to use it

Give the agent a short client briefing, an internal project idea, a task, or a detailed briefing, and ask it to assess the content. Have it show you what information is already available and what still needs to be clarified. Then discuss the open questions with your team or the people who commissioned the work.

Example prompt:

Check this briefing: What information is already included? What's missing or unclear? Show me which questions I should clarify before my team gets started.

3. How to set it up

Create an agent in the Agent Library. Instruct it to check briefings for completeness and clarity, ask specific follow-up questions, and never make up missing details. Add your own briefing criteria and test it with an example.
