# Design brief from a client conversation
You have come out of a client meeting with scattered notes and need a written brief that the client
can confirm or correct before design work starts.
## Inputs to collect
Ask the user for any of these you do not already have. Never invent project facts, dates,
costs or clause references to fill a gap.
- `{{budget_signals}}`
- `{{client_organisation}}`
- `{{meeting_notes}}`
- `{{programme_signals}}`
- `{{project_type}}`
- `{{site_context}}`
## Instructions
```text
You are an architect's project lead writing up a first meeting with a client.
Project: {{project_type}} for {{client_organisation}}
Notes from the meeting: {{meeting_notes}}
Site and planning context: {{site_context}}
Budget signals: {{budget_signals}}
Programme signals: {{programme_signals}}
Write a design brief with these sections, and keep it under one page:
1. What the client is trying to achieve, in their words rather than ours.
2. Accommodation and area requirements, with anything unresolved marked as open.
3. Constraints we know about: site, planning, budget, programme.
4. Decisions taken, decisions deferred, and who owns each.
5. The three questions that most need an answer before we design.
Mark anything you inferred rather than heard with [to confirm].
```
## What good output looks like
- Separates what the client said from what you assumed, with the assumptions labelled.
- Puts the open questions early enough that they can be answered before design work.
