### Dispatch brief for a connected web AI

Source: https://github.com/ya-karas/agentcontrolplane/blob/main/README.md

Example brief for dispatching a task to a connected web AI. It instructs the agent to use the balanced profile and automatic executor selection, implement a tested GET /hello endpoint, verify it, and return changed files plus test evidence. If execution reports a blocker or misunderstanding, the brief should be corrected and the same project continued.

```text
Use the balanced profile and automatic executor selection. Inspect the project,
implement a tested GET /hello endpoint, verify it, and return changed files plus
test evidence. If execution reports a blocker or misunderstanding, correct the
brief and continue the same project.
```

### Engineering brief JSON example

Source: https://github.com/ya-karas/agentcontrolplane/blob/main/docs/PROTOCOL.md

Example of an engineering brief used to dispatch a task. The 'executor' field can be 'auto', 'opencode', 'codex', 'claude', 'openai-compatible', or 'deepseek'. 'idempotency_key' is optional and accepts 8–200 letters, digits, dots, underscores, colons, or hyphens; reusing it with different content returns 'idempotency_conflict'.

```json
{
  "workspace": "D:\\Projects\\example",
  "idempotency_key": "web:conversation-123:task-4",
  "executor": "auto",
  "objective": "Add a tested GET /hello endpoint.",
  "constraints": ["Do not add a framework dependency."],
  "acceptance_criteria": [
    "GET /hello returns HTTP 200",
    "Response JSON equals {\"message\":\"hello\"}",
    "Automated tests pass"
  ],
  "context": ["The project already uses node:test."],
  "evidence_required": ["test command and result", "changed file list"],
  "profile": "balanced",
  "model": null,
  "reasoning_effort": null,
  "max_subagents": null,

  "summary": "Implemented and tested the endpoint.",
  "changed_files": ["server.js", "server.test.js"],
  "tests": [{"command": "npm test", "status": "passed"}],
