Gixo Quill open format
gixo-brief.json v1
A small, deterministic handoff format for a content brief: what the piece must answer, who it serves, how search intent is framed, which sections are required, how the word budget is allocated, which sources and internal links belong, and what must be true before approval.
gixo-brief, version 1.0.0. New optional capabilities may be added only in a new documented version; consumers should reject an unknown major version.Canonical schema

Security and privacy
The public Content Brief Builder HTML-encodes every displayed value, enforces bounded lists and a 100,000-character handler cap, performs no model call, and does not persist anonymous inputs. URLs in the contract are data, not trusted navigation instructions; consumers should validate them before rendering links.
Intended loop
A planner exports the brief; a drafting workflow consumes its structure; a deterministic compliance checker can later compare a draft with the same required sections and acceptance criteria. The format describes a plan — it does not contain generated article prose.
