It is recommended to include helpful details in the task to assist contributors to understand what is expected. You can make use of the following simple elements of a task to do that:

Permissions: Set how contributors engage, more details on Task Types & Assignee Gating
Skills: Add these so contributors can filter for them while Exploring Bounties
Due Date: Click ... then Set due date to set a deadline for the bounty
Description: Markdown-supported input area for you to add all relevant details that will help a contributor produce a good result. Also supports image & file drag-and-drop
Priority: Indicate the urgency of the task by setting this from a list of options
Task Points: It's helpful to include task points as a measure of effort that it would take to complete this task; also helpful if you're pre-token and want to measure contributions easily
Tags: Create your own tags to help a contributor identify at a glance what kind of task it is; it also helps when filtering tasks later
