Start a coding mission with a clear outcome.

Copy and customize

Choose a starter for the work at hand.

Each prompt defines the task boundary, required checks, and evidence the coding agent should return.

Linear mission

Take an issue from scope to proof

Ready to run

Copy this prompt

Take this Linear issue and implement it: [paste issue URL]. Make sure you understand the acceptance criteria, use the relevant repository context, and keep the work within the ticket’s scope. Test the change, verify the user-facing behavior, review the diff, and prepare a concise Linear update with the results. Don’t merge the code or mark the issue complete.

Proof expected

Acceptance criteria checked
Relevant tests run
Linear update drafted

What Brief adds to each mission.

Brief gathers repo context, sets boundaries, recommends checks, reviews the diff, and records the handoff. The user still describes the outcome in plain language.

Understand

Brief identifies the task, repository rules, related code, and relevant tests.

Bound

The mission names the outcome, non-goals, safety limits, and validation.

Verify

The agent runs the tests, browser checks, or screenshots required by the change.

Hand off

The handoff lists changed files, validation results, remaining risk, and open decisions.

Use a starter on your next coding task.
