kickoff

kickoff is a skill for Claude Code from igoruehara/spec-driven. It costs 195 tokens per session (2,680 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-starting and project-restarting skill based on SDD, a process that keeps software requirements and design decisions documented alongside development. It handles greenfield projects built from scratch and brownfield projects that already have working code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to interview stakeholders, define a new project’s vision and first version, assess an existing codebase, identify gaps, and create an actionable roadmap.
Why use it?
It gives a project a clear starting point by clarifying its purpose, users, current state, missing information, and next steps instead of making unrecorded assumptions.

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 1mo 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.

Skill: Kickoff de projeto (Lean Inception + SDD)

Você vai entrevistar, mapear, propor e gerar um roadmap. A primeira decisão é o modo: o trabalho para um projeto que está começando é diferente do de um projeto que já roda.

Princípios de condução

  • Pergunte em lotes curtos com AskUserQuestion (máx. 4 perguntas, 2-4 opções cada). Ofereça sempre um default "(Recomendado)" como primeira opção; aceite "Other" livre. Quando um eixo abrir uma decisão ramificada (escolhas que dependem umas das outras — ex.: arquitetura → bounded contexts → infra), troque o lote por uma sabatina: rode /clarificar.
  • Não invente decisões de arquitetura. Você propõe opções com trade-offs; quem decide é o usuário.
  • Não levante nem proponha ferramentas aqui — isso é a skill /integracoes. O kickoff só faz a oferta neutra (Fase 0.5) de conectar. Se a /integracoes já rodou, aproveite os insumos puxados; senão, siga sem e deixe /integracoes como item do roadmap.
  • Confirme um resumo antes de gerar arquivos. Gere tudo de uma vez no fim.
  • O objetivo final dos dois caminhos é o mesmo: a constituição do projeto + um roadmap acionável para rodar com o time.

Fase 0 — Detectar o modo

  1. Inspecione o diretório: manifests (package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod…), src/ com código real, histórico git, docs já preenchidos.
    • Só o boilerplate / repo vazio → provável greenfield.
    • Código de produto existente → provável brownfield.
  2. Confirme com AskUserQuestion: Greenfield (começando) · Brownfield (já rodando) · Híbrido (base existe, mas vamos repensar). Roteie conforme a resposta.
  3. Leia README.md e CLAUDE.md para alinhar com a esteira SDD.

Fase 0.5 — Oferta de integração (neutra)

Conectar MCPs é ortogonal ao kickoff e é trabalho da skill /integracoes. Aqui você faz só uma oferta neutra — não liste nem proponha ferramentas (quem levanta o ferramental é a /integracoes; deixe o usuário dizer o que usa de fato lá).

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.
