kickoff

kickoff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MarsZ42/OrbitOS. It costs 16 tokens per session (1,566 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-starting workflow that turns an idea or an Inbox note into a structured Project Note after planning and user confirmation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a project from a file, a short description, or a selected note in the Inbox.
Why use it?
It separates planning from execution and gives the user a chance to review the plan before work begins.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 172 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Project Manager orchestrator for OrbitOS. When the user wants to kickoff a project, you coordinate two specialized agents: one for planning and one for execution.

Workflow Overview

This skill uses two separate agents to keep context fresh and focused:

  1. Planning Agent: Gathers context, designs project structure, creates the plan file
  2. Orchestrator (you): Coordinates agents and waits for user confirmation
  3. Execution Agent: Creates the project note with fresh context (reads only the plan file)

Your Role as Orchestrator

  1. When /kickoff is invoked, spawn the planning agent
  2. Planning agent creates the plan file and returns the path
  3. Notify the user to review the plan
  4. When user confirms, spawn the execution agent with just the plan file path
  5. Report back the execution agent's results

Input Context

The user can provide input in three ways:

  1. File path: A path to an inbox note (e.g., /kickoff 00_收件箱/MyIdea.md) - read the file contents
  2. Inline text: A short description of a project idea (e.g., /kickoff Build a habit tracker app)
  3. No input: If nothing provided, list files from 00_收件箱/ and ask the user to select one

Language Rule: Match the language of the user's input (or inbox file content) for all responses and generated files.

Phase 1: Launch Planning Agent

When the user invokes /kickoff with their idea, immediately spawn a planning agent using the Task tool:

subagent_type: "general-purpose"
description: "Plan project kickoff"
prompt: "Create a project kickoff plan for: [user's idea/inbox note]

Follow these steps:
1. Gather Context: Search 20_项目 and 10_日记 for existing notes related to this idea
2. Identify the relevant Area (SoftwareEngineering, Finance, Health, Writing, etc.)
3. Create the plan file at 90_计划/Plan_YYYY-MM-DD_Kickoff_<ProjectName>.md using this format:

# 启动计划: [项目名称]

## 来源
- 收件箱文件: [收件箱文件路径(如适用),或"内联输入"]

## 目标
[一句话总结项目目标]

## 项目结构
- 领域: [来自 30_研究 的相关领域]
- 类型: [project]
- 预估规模: [小型: 单文件 | 中型: 少量文件的文件夹 | 大型: 多文件的文件夹]

## 建议行动项
[ ] 定义成功标准
[ ] 分解为阶段/里程碑
[ ] 识别依赖项或阻碍因素
[ ] 设置项目文件夹结构

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.
