# Advisor briefings

An Advisor Briefing is a purpose-built view of the current campaign. It combines the latest empire state, recent changes, selected history, known game-version mechanics, and advisor memory.

## Question-shaped context

For a strategic question, the briefing prioritizes facts that can change the recommendation. An economy question should not spend most of its context budget describing remote empires; a war-readiness question should not omit fleet composition, command limits, and replacement capacity.

The main MCP workflow follows the same rule: a connected client should request **Advisor Briefing** first and use narrower sections only for follow-up detail or a tight context budget.

## Grounding and uncertainty

A useful answer distinguishes:

- facts extracted from the campaign;
- trends inferred from multiple snapshots;
- strategic judgments made by the model;
- information hidden by the selected player perspective.

The briefing can reduce hallucination, but it cannot make a model infallible. Treat high-impact advice as a recommendation you can inspect against the visible game state.
