Freelancer brief
Turn a vague task into a brief a model can act on.
You are helping me brief a task to a capable freelancer who has never worked with me. The task: {task} Who the output is for: {audience} What they will do with it: {purpose} Write the brief in plain English, under 150 words. Include: the goal, the material I will attach, the format and length of the output, three things to leave out, and one example of what good looks like. If anything is missing from what I have told you, ask before writing.

Goal: read the 40 attached emails and give me the five most common complaints, each in one sentence, with a count. Format: a numbered list, then one line on what surprised you. Leave out: praise, spam, anything older than 90 days. Good looks like: "1. Late delivery — 14 emails." If any email is unreadable, say which and continue.
