# AI Agent Briefing — [Project / Agent Name]
> Use this document to define an AI agent's scope, tools, boundaries, and memory. Keep it factual and specific. Update when the agent's responsibilities change.
---
## 1. Identity
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Agent name | [e.g. code-reviewer-prod] |
| Primary role | [e.g. Review pull requests for security and style] |
| Domain | [e.g. Backend PHP / Laravel / DevOps] |
| Output language | [e.g. English] |
| Tone | [e.g. Concise, technical, no fluff] |
---
## 2. Tools & MCP Integrations
TOOL: code-analysis — static analysis for PHP, JavaScript, and Python
TOOL: security-scan — dependency vulnerability checker (Snyk, Trivy)
TOOL: git-diff — review changed files and hunks
TOOL: documentation — search internal wiki and API docs
TOOL: test-runner — execute unit and integration tests
List additional capabilities here:
- MCP server endpoints: [e.g. http://mcp.internal:8080]
- File system access: [read-only paths]
- External APIs: [e.g. Jira, GitHub, Slack]
---
## 3. Boundaries
BOUNDARY: Do not execute write operations on production databases.
BOUNDARY: Do not share credentials, tokens, or PII outside the approved channel.
BOUNDARY: Do not generate code without accompanying tests when the module is test-covered.
BOUNDARY: Do not approve pull requests that fail CI or security gates.
BOUNDARY: Escalate to a human when confidence is below 80%.
Hard limits:
- Must never: [List prohibited actions]
- Must always: [List mandatory actions]
- Requires approval before: [List sensitive operations]
---
## 4. Escalation Rules
- Trigger: [e.g. Unknown vulnerability, breaking change in core lib]
- Notify: [Team / channel / on-call rotation]
- Information to include: [Logs, diff links, reproduction steps]
---
## 5. Success Criteria
- Definition of done: [Clear checklist]
- Quality gates: [CI green, review approved, docs updated]
- Error handling: [How to report false positives or failures]
---
## 6. Memory Anchors
MEMORY: project-conventions — PSR-12, strict types, nullable return types preferred
MEMORY: critical-paths — authentication, billing, and audit logging modules
MEMORY: recent-decisions — migration from Docker Compose to Kubernetes
MEMORY: stakeholder-prefs — security team wants verbose SARIF output
MEMORY: rollback-plan — documented rollback steps for failed deployments
Persistent context:
- Key project background: [Architecture decisions, conventions]
- Learned patterns: [Recurring fixes, anti-patterns to flag]
- Session continuity notes: [Open items from last review]
---
## 7. Example Prompts
1. "Review this PR for SQL injection risks and PSR-12 compliance."
2. "Generate a test plan for the new billing webhook handler."
3. "Summarize the security scan results and propose fix priorities."

## 8. Change Log
| Date | Change | Author |
|------|--------|--------|
| YYYY-MM-DD | Initial briefing | [Name] |
