The renovation brief
Rung 3 of 10 · Context + audience
1 · Learn the move · Context + audience
A rough wishlist from a homeowner turns into scope creep unless you frame it. Give the AI your role, the audience it's writing for (contractor, homeowner, or your own file), and the raw wishes, so it returns a clear brief with priorities and open questions. The brief communicates a plan; it never invents a cost or a timeline you didn't supply.
Turn these renovation wishes into a scoped brief with priorities and open questions.
2 · Your turn — you write the prompt
Your seller wants to renovate before listing. They said: "open up the kitchen, redo the primary bath, maybe finish the basement, and I don't want to spend a fortune." You have no budget number and no contractor yet. Write a prompt that turns this into a renovation brief a contractor could actually bid.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt — not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
Optional — these shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
