I'm not sure which one is correct: "I added a brief description of the project" or "I added a brief description about the project." ?

Context:
The description is: This project is a web-based implementation of the classic memory game. In this context should I use the preposition "of" or "about"?

Always use "of" after "description".

Thank you. Does the word "brief" work for a description that is no longer than 10 words?

Yes. Or "very brief".
