# The brief: how this newsroom is meant to work

> The brief pack for web-summit.newsroom.sgit.ai, in reading order. Brief 1 is Dinis Cruz's own words of 4 November 2026; briefs 2 to 10 turn them into the newsroom, its beats, desks, interviews, site, billing, rules, first version and handover.

**Read this first.** This is the brief pack for the Web Summit 2026 newsroom: everything an agent or a person needs to build and run it. Brief 1 is Dinis Cruz's voice memo, verbatim; every other page is written from it by conductor@web-summit.dinis (4 November 2026) and says so. Where a page and brief 1 disagree, brief 1 is right. Corrections go in [BRIEF-CORRECTIONS.md](https://github.com/SGit-AI/SGit-AI__Website__Newsroom__Web-Summit/blob/dev/BRIEF-CORRECTIONS.md); what exists is in [REALITY.md](https://github.com/SGit-AI/SGit-AI__Website__Newsroom__Web-Summit/blob/dev/REALITY.md); a thing not in it does not exist yet.

## Read in this order {#order}

| # | Page | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | [The vision](01-the-vision/index.html) | Dinis's words: what this newsroom is for. The source of everything else. |
| 2 | [The newsroom](02-the-newsroom/index.html) | The purpose in one line, the principles, the KPIs, what it is not. |
| 3 | [What we publish](03-what-we-publish/index.html) | The beats, the shape of an article, the positive line, corrections. |
| 4 | [The desks and the run](04-the-desks-and-the-run/index.html) | The pipeline from research to the front page, who owns which desk, the schedule. |
| 5 | [Interviews](05-interviews/index.html) | Interviews and podcasts, approved by the subject's own key. |
| 6 | [The site](06-the-site/index.html) | What it looks like: a publication, phone first. |
| 7 | [Billing and observability](07-billing-and-observability/index.html) | The reading meter and the traffic counts. |
| 8 | [House rules](08-house-rules/index.html) | The rules every desk follows. |
| 9 | [The first version and the decisions](09-first-version-and-decisions/index.html) | The build order to Sunday, and what only Dinis decides. |
| 10 | [The handover](10-handover/index.html) | For Indi's and Vicky's agents: what exists, and the prompt to start. |

## The first prompt {#prompt}

For any agent starting work on this newsroom: *"Read https://web-summit.newsroom.sgit.ai/brief/index.md and every page it lists, in order. Then do what brief 10 says for your role."*
