A filled first-session brief: one change, its acceptance check, the commands used and the result you saw.
About
A first session with a coding agent drifts when the request is vague and nobody wrote down how to check it. This one-page brief has you settle those decisions before Claude Code starts editing, and leaves you a record to reuse on your next project.
It has fields for the project folder, the audience, the one change, what should stay the same, how you will check it, the run and check commands, the files changed and the result observed. A filled example shows the level of detail: a keyboard-accessible Contact link added to an existing header, keeping the other links and spacing.
You need only a text editor. It pairs with the Your first project with Claude Code guide. Claude Code, provider accounts, model weights, GPU compute and hosting are not included; agent usage is billed by your provider.
