phase-kickoff

phase-kickoff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from maorfsdev/reflect-yourself. It costs 34 tokens per session (267 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning helper that turns a project phase document into an ordered list of work and proposed work packages. It includes checks for specifications, tests, dependencies, risks, and right-to-left Hebrew interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps break a phase into epics and work packages, define acceptance criteria and error rules, choose test levels, and identify Hebrew or right-to-left interface requirements before coding.
Why use it?
It removes the need to turn a vague phase description into a detailed implementation plan by hand. It also keeps project-tracking information aligned with the planned work.

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

phase-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.

What it actually says

Phase Kickoff (Spec-first + Israeli-first)

Workflow: When invoked, use plan mode first to present the plan for review. Only create files after the user explicitly approves the plan and asks to implement it.

Inputs:

  • Phase file (default: docs/phases/CURRENT.md)
  • Desired parallelism (single vs 2–3 tracks)

Output:

  1. Phase summary
  2. Ordered plan by epics
  3. Proposed work packages with:
    • title, goal, acceptance criteria
    • spec checklist (contracts, invariants, error codes)
    • criticality (CRITICAL vs STANDARD)
    • RTL/Hebrew obligations (if UI)
    • dependencies + risks
  4. First work package to execute now

Todos and project-tracking: When creating the plan (or when the user approves it), add every deliverable/step as a todo. Always include a todo to update CURRENT.md per the project-tracking skill (set current phase, epic, work package so state stays in sync). Do not leave the todo list empty for a kickoff that has multiple deliverables.

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.
