Bring a checkable brief before anyone fans out into code

Before anyone fans out into code: name the output, the constraints, and the checks.

Too many multi-agent runs start with a vague goal and five slightly different contexts. Disagreement shows up late — after the draft exists — and review becomes cleanup.

What works better for me:

  1. Write a checkable brief first (output + constraints + checks)
  2. Discuss trade-offs on one shared project before dividing tasks
  3. Keep independent verification separate from the draft
  4. Require an explicit human gate before anything updates the project main branch

Brainstorm is a Linux-first shell for that workflow. BYOK — use your own model accounts; we don’t sell model credits.
