Company Brief

Q: How do I know the Company Brief output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Explains how the company actually makes money (or flags that it's unclear); Likely challenges are tied to the specific role, not generic; Questions-to-ask are specific to this company, not reusable boilerplate; Inferences are marked as assumptions; nothing is fabricated as fact.

What to give it

▸Company name — (and website/ticker if helpful).

▸The role — you're interviewing for — so the brief focuses on what's relevant to *that* job.

▸What you already know / found — paste any research, news, or notes you have (this skill structures and reasons over it).

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Explains how the company actually makes money (or flags that it's unclear)

✓Likely challenges are tied to the specific role, not generic

✓Questions-to-ask are specific to this company, not reusable boilerplate

✓Inferences are marked as assumptions; nothing is fabricated as fact

✓Ends with a concrete "your angle" connecting the candidate to their situation

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not fabricate funding, metrics, or news — work from provided info and label inferences

Do not produce a generic company overview — focus on what matters for this role and interview

Do not list culture platitudes — read real signals (JD tone, reviews, how they describe the work)

Do not suggest generic questions ("what's a typical day?") — make them business-specific

Do not skip "likely challenges" — it's the section that makes you sound like a hire, not a tourist
