Design Brief Generator

Explicitly listing what is out of scope prevents scope creep. Banning vague terms like 'modern' forces specific design direction that the whole team can align on.

Prompt
Create a comprehensive design brief for a {{project_type}} project.

Client/stakeholder: {{client_name}}
Business objective: {{business_objective}}
Target audience: {{target_audience}}
Brand guidelines: {{brand_constraints}}
Timeline: {{timeline}}
Budget tier: {{budget_tier}}

The brief should include:
1. Project overview (2-3 sentences)
2. Problem statement — what user/business problem this design solves
3. Target audience profile with key behaviors and pain points
4. Scope and deliverables (be specific: screens, components, assets)
5. Design requirements and constraints (platforms, existing systems, technical limitations)
6. Success metrics — how we will measure if this design works
7. Competitive/inspirational references (suggest 3 based on {{industry}})
8. Timeline with milestones (discovery, wireframes, visual design, handoff)
9. Out of scope (explicitly state what this project does NOT include)

Write in clear, actionable language. Avoid subjective terms like "modern" or "clean" — use specific, measurable descriptors.
