Briefs

Use a brief to catch up on meaningful competitive, market, and ecosystem changes. The first run defaults to the previous 90 days; later runs continue from the prior brief with the same cap. Add a natural-language period to the prompt to override that window. Every highlight needs dated evidence, and quiet competitors stay visibly quiet instead of being padded with noise.

/deliberate brief

For a different window, add it to the prompt:

/deliberate brief for the last 30 days

A grounded brief should:

• name the actor, concrete change, dated source, and why it matters to this product;
• keep only the few changes a founder or product manager may act on;
• distinguish routine direct action from a consequential unresolved decision;
• label case-worthy decisions as product, market, strategy, or platform cases;
• create a reviewable deliberate/briefs/<date>/brief.md.

After the brief is saved, the agent presents the recommended cases with their triggering evidence, value of analysis now, and decision unlocked. It then offers Open for review + run cases (default), Open for review only, and Other. The default opens the brief in Sonorance and starts the case analyses without waiting for review to finish; direct actions do not become cases.
