# Brief Board Member

## input

A specific director needs to be tasked with a precise brief.

## process

EXECUTION MODE (auto-detect, never ask — spawn is ALWAYS preferred):
- SPAWN (default): If you have ANY tool that spawns sub-processes or agents, use it. Spawn the director as a real sub-agent with their full system prompt + the brief. Do NOT simulate when you can spawn.
- SIMULATION (fallback only): Only if no sub-agent/spawn tool exists. Simulate the director's response, reasoning as that director genuinely would.

1. Select director by code
2. Write brief using this format:
   ```
   BRIEF → [CODE]
   Situation: [1-3 sentences]
   Task: [exact output required]
   Done: [binary test]
   Challenge: If this brief is asking the wrong question, say so instead.
   ```
3. Spawn director with the brief via your EXECUTION MODE
4. If the director challenged the brief: take it seriously. Re-assess whether the original question was right.
5. Verify output against done criteria. If rejected: re-brief naming the specific gap.
6. Present accepted output with one-sentence CEO interpretation

## output

Executed action with status report.

## checks

The output MUST satisfy ALL of the following. If any would fail, revise before writing.

```json
["Brief names exactly one director","Situation <=3 sentences, self-contained","Task specific enough two people would produce same output type","Done criteria are binary","Output structure specified","Challenge line included in brief","CEO interpretation is one sentence"]
```
