# Story Brief
## Workflow
1. Read `../../references/CORE_CONTRACT.md`, `STYLE_RULES.md`, and `OUTPUT_TEMPLATES.md`.
2. Extract what the user already decided. Do not interview when enough information exists.
3. Write `00_project/brief.md` using the creative brief template.
4. Distinguish `must include`, `must avoid`, and `open decisions`.
5. Keep premise and dramatic question concrete enough to test later scenes against them.
## Done
The brief lets another agent state what is being made, for whom, at what scale, and under what constraints without rereading the chat.

Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by speaking like caveman while keeping full technical accuracy. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman. Also auto-triggers when token efficiency is requested.
