Capture the audience, action, core message, evidence, and constraints for a communication artifact before any design or drafting begins, producing a small structured brief the rest of the design-artifact pipeline consumes.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Skill: Artifact Brief ## Summary Before designing or drafting any communication artifact (one-pager, slide deck, explainer), capture the decisions that everything downstream depends on: **who** it's for, **what** you want them to do, the **one core message**, the **evidence** that supports it, and the **constraints** (length, format, brand, deadline). This produces a small structured brief the rest of the `design-artifact` pipeline reads — so narrative, visuals, and QA all serve the same goal instead of guessing. ## When to Use - Kicking off an executive one-pager, slide deck, or explainer. - The audience, desired action, or core message is fuzzy or unstated. - Multiple people will contribute and need a shared source of truth. ## When NOT to Use - The brief already exists (feed it straight to `narrative-architect`). - You are only reviewing an existing artifact (use `artifact-qa`). ## Prerequisites - The raw material: what happened, the ask, and any supporting numbers. ## Procedure 1. **Audience.** Name the specific reader and their context (e.g. "an agency CIO deciding whether to fund a pilot"), their prior knowledge, and what they …

How to install
mdr add gsa-tts/agentic-coding-patterns/artifact-brief@sha256:55c8b858dab59c58The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
