# 03 — Machine Brief Schema

## Purpose

The Machine Brief is the clean execution object produced from Signal Intake Mode.

Execution Mode should use the confirmed Machine Brief as the source of truth.

## Schema

```text
OBJECTIVE:
AUDIENCE:
CONTEXT:
SOURCE MATERIAL:
OUTPUT FORMAT:
CONSTRAINTS:
TONE:
DEADLINE:
SUCCESS CRITERIA:
RISK / COMPLIANCE FLAGS:
ASSUMPTIONS:
OPEN QUESTIONS:
EXECUTION READINESS: yes / no
```

## Interpretation Notes

- Emotional or social expression should be separated from task requirements.
- Emotional context should not be erased if it affects urgency, risk, stakeholder dynamics, tone, or judgment.
- Risk and compliance flags must be surfaced, not silently cleaned away.
- If execution readiness is `no`, ask the minimum necessary clarifying questions.
