What is stale brief for a team that runs agents.
What is stale brief: A stale brief is a task whose facts have moved. In Kovnor the outcome number is read fresh on a schedule, and the lead agent updates the plan when it changes. A lead agent owns the plan, and a reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
A stale brief is a written task whose facts have moved. The repository changed, the metric moved, or a person already answered, and the text the agent is holding does not say so. The agent can finish the brief perfectly and still be wrong about the job. Stale is different from vague. A stale brief was once accurate. The date and the source of each fact are what make the staleness visible.
What holds today
- Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
- Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
- Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
How stale brief shows up in Kovnor
When a read shows a figure moved, the lead agent revises the tasks that depend on it. The reviewer checks work against the current task, so a brief that names an old number fails on purpose.
What stale brief is not
A stale brief is not a vague one. It was accurate once.
