The Workprint™ framework · Step 1: Brief
The Context Canvas
Name the job, fill the seven boxes and add files where they help. Generate gives you a zip: a context pack any AI tool can read, plus your files, named by box.
Everything stays in this browser. Nothing is uploaded or saved, so closing the tab clears it.
How to fill it in
- Start with the two orange boxes, Outcome and Facts. They change for every job and take a couple of minutes.
- The blue boxes are how your team always does this kind of work. Fill them once, then reuse them for the next job.
- A sentence or two per box is enough. Rather not type? Attach a file instead: a past example, your template, your rules.
- Not sure about a box? Leave it empty. The pack tells the AI what is missing, and it will ask you before it starts.
The job card
V · Variable, new for every job
A short name. It goes on the pack and the zip.
The standing brief
C · Constant, build once
THE RULE
The right context, not more context. Cut whatever the job does not need.
Using the pack
- Unzip the download.
- In ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot, start a new chat and attach everything in the folder.
- Type your request. The assistant confirms the job and asks you up to five questions first. Answer them.
If it won't take every file at once, keep the ones this job needs. That's the rule above.
