What problem does it solve? Starting work from a half-formed idea often means manually scoping the task, remembering which skills to invoke, and writing acceptance criteria by hand. This Skill turns a rough opener into a scoped prompt with routed skills and a verification checklist in one command, then plants the session goal so later verification hooks can confirm checks actually ran. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Agentic enrichment: A cheap tool-calling LLM inspects the repository via read-only, multi-turn tools before producing the scoped prompt, routed skills, execution mode (solo or orchestrate), budget, and a runnable acceptance checklist. - Fail-open design: If the engine or model is unreachable, the raw idea passes through untouched with a KICKOFF_PASSTHROUGH marker, so the kickoff never blocks work. - Goal and tier integration: Sets the session goal with budget and complexity tier (T1-T4), then enters brainstorming or dispatches an orchestration plan by dependency waves. - Use Case: Type "/kickoff add retry-with-backoff to the S3 upload client" and receive a sharpened task, routed skills (brainstorming, planning, TDD), and runnable acceptance checks planted in the session goal. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run /kickoff followed by your rough idea, for example "/kickoff add caching to the API client", and it will scope the task and set the session goal automatically.
