# App brief

Write `docs/BRIEF.md` in a folder named after the app
(`<parent>/<AppName>/docs/BRIEF.md`; ask for the parent folder, default
`~/Developer`). Every later skill reads it. Keep it to one page.

## 1. Name and read what exists

Pick the name first: one UpperCamelCase word (`Tasks`, `DailyLog`), not the
name of an app already in `~/Applications`, and a bundle id
`com.<yourname>.<appname>` in lowercase. The folder, the research, and the
scaffold all use it.

If `docs/research/` or `docs/screens/INDEX.md` exist, read them first.
