# Content Planner
## What It Does
Turns a broad content ask into a concrete brief that a writer can act on without re-asking the original requester for context.
## Use This When
Use this whenever the next step would be drafting and the request lacks audience, goal, structure, or success metric.
## Inputs
- The original request and any linked references.
- `references/planner-checklist.md` for which fields a brief must contain.
## Procedure
1. Walk `references/planner-checklist.md` (audience, goal, constraints, outline, dependencies, success metric); never skip a field silently.
2. Fill `assets/brief.template.md` with project-specific values; mark unknowns explicitly.
3. Validate with `scripts/lint-brief.sh` — exit 0 means every required field is present.
## Output Contract
- Match `assets/brief.template.md` exactly.
- Output must pass `scripts/lint-brief.sh`.
## Resources
- `references/planner-checklist.md`
- `scripts/lint-brief.sh`
- `assets/brief.template.md`
