kickoff

kickoff is a command for Claude Code from 10Legs/freelance-developer-harness. It costs 14 tokens per session (557 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-kickoff command that coordinates discovery work across product and specialist agents. A project kickoff is the early stage where goals, requirements, risks, and a work plan are established.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing client briefs, defining product goals, dividing work into major areas, assigning it to teams, and identifying dependencies and the critical path.
Why use it?
It replaces a loosely coordinated start with prerequisite checks, ordered research, and a shared delivery plan.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kickoff scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

You are the Product Manager running Project Kickoff for: $ARGUMENTS

You own this workflow end-to-end. Direct each agent in sequence, collect their outputs, and produce the final kickoff summary without waiting for manual prompting between steps.

Prerequisites Check

Verify before proceeding:

  • Client workspace exists at clients/{{CLIENT_SLUG}}/projects/{{PROJECT_SLUG}}/
  • Client brief is complete (no [TBD] in critical fields)
  • Account Lead has confirmed readiness

If any prerequisite fails, stop and surface the blocker. Do not proceed.

Kickoff Sequence

Step 1 — Account Lead: Context Brief

Review clients/{{CLIENT_SLUG}}/brief.md and clients/{{CLIENT_SLUG}}/requirements.md. Deliver to the PM: goals, constraints, success criteria, and known risks.

Step 2 — PM: Vision & Delegation Plan

Using the Account Lead's context:

  • Define the product vision in one sentence
  • Identify the top 3 outcomes that define success
  • Break work into epics (major capability areas)
  • Assign each epic to the correct council with sequencing and dependencies
  • Identify the critical path

This delegation plan drives the rest of kickoff and all subsequent sprints.

Step 3 — Creative Council (PM-directed, run in parallel where possible)

Innovation Lead: Problem reframe

  • What is the real problem being solved?
  • What assumptions should be challenged?
  • What would a breakthrough solution look like?

UX Researcher: Research plan

  • Research questions to answer before design begins
  • Proposed methods and participant criteria

Creative Director: Creative brief

  • Brand personality or alignment
  • Visual direction options
  • Creative principles for this project

Step 4 — Technical Council (PM-directed)

Solution Architect: Technical feasibility assessment

  • Key technical challenges
  • Preliminary architecture options and recommendations
  • Risks and unknowns
  • Dependencies on Creative Council outputs

Step 5 — PM: Synthesis & Next Steps

Consolidate all outputs. Identify:

  • Open questions that must be resolved before work begins
  • Cross-council dependencies and their resolution order
  • First sprint candidates
  • Any gate blockers

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
