Delegation Brief
An outcome-based brief with permissions, evidence and checkpoints.
- Describe the outcome and why the reader needs it.
- Specify approved inputs, exclusions and a small resource budget.
- Define evidence the tool must return and unknowns it must flag.
- Choose approval checkpoints before external effects.
- Rehearse on synthetic inputs and retain a manual fallback.
Your worksheet
No confidential information. Filling this sheet does not send data to an AI provider. Blank prompts can be copied separately.
Optional prompt · use only approved inputs
Help specify this outcome for a constrained assistant. Ask about the audience, permitted inputs, acceptance tests, resource budget and approval points. Distinguish drafting from actions with external effects. Keep unknowns visible. Produce a brief a person could also use. Do not promise autonomous execution.
Using this prompt in another service sends your inputs to that service. Check its settings first. It is not a tested guarantee of output quality.
Before you use the result
- Could a human follow the same brief?
- Are external effects gated technically?
- Are evidence and unknowns returned with the draft?
