# Project brief

This is your project's plan: what you are building, who it serves, its data boundaries, and the evidence of success. It is separate from `WEB_DESIGN.md`, which tells the assistant how to approach design.

Copy this file to your project root as `PROJECT_BRIEF.md`. Replace the prompts below with your decisions. Keep student information out of the brief. Put it alongside `WEB_DESIGN.md`, `EDU_COMPLIANCE.md`, and `securevcc.md` before using the starting prompt.

## One useful task

What should an educator, learner, or family member accomplish? Describe one observable outcome. Example: a teacher creates a printable vocabulary activity without signing in.

## Audience and setting

- Intended users and age band:
- Reading level and languages:
- Devices, bandwidth, and school restrictions:
- Accessibility needs and alternative ways to complete the task:

## Boundaries

- Information the task actually needs:
- Information we will not ask for:
- Where information exists: browser memory, device storage, hosting logs, server, or a vendor:
- Accounts, sharing, uploads, AI services, analytics, or embeds:
- Who can approve any proposed student-data processing:

Unknown answers remain **unverified**. Prototype with invented examples while decisions are unresolved.

## Experience

- Most important action:
- Second and third tasks:
- Page structure that fits those tasks:
- Design references and what general principles they illustrate:
- What happens when something fails:

## Technical decisions

- Existing stack and hosting:
- Dependencies and permissions allowed:
- Budget or external-service limits:
- Working features that must be preserved:

## Evidence of success

- Main journey to test:
- Keyboard journey to test:
- Phone and high-zoom/reflow checks:
- Data-flow and relevant security checks:
- School/vendor/contract questions that need a human owner:

## AI invocation

Read WEB_DESIGN.md, EDU_COMPLIANCE.md, and securevcc.md. Apply them to this brief. Start by inspecting the project. Do not invent approvals, test results, or legal claims. Explain the proposed structure, build a small working version, and report evidence and limitations.
