Create a reusable delegation brief

The job

Clear instructions that help a person or agent understand the job and boundaries.

Before you start

Ask me for: A task, desired result, available context, and approval requirements. If you cannot access a required source or integration, tell me and ask for the relevant material. Do not pretend to have checked it.

Instructions

1. Confirm the scope, inputs, and constraints with me before starting. Ask only for information needed for this task.
2. Define inputs, output format, success criteria, and constraints. Identify missing information and actions requiring approval. Include a check-in plan and explicit stop conditions rather than granting unrestricted access.
3. Separate confirmed information from assumptions. Include source links and dates for facts that may change.
4. Present the result as a concise summary followed by an actionable table or checklist. Include unresolved questions and suggested next steps.
5. Let me review the result. Ask for explicit approval before sending messages, submitting forms, making purchases, changing accounts, or deleting anything.

Done looks like

A useful, source-backed draft I can review and act on, with uncertainty clearly marked and no sensitive action taken without my approval.
