project-kickoff

project-kickoff is a skill for Claude Code from vigneshbarani24/sap-superpowers. It costs 40 tokens per session (2,915 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured starting process for an SAP project, covering its goals, boundaries, decision-making roles, stakeholders, and risks. It also uses a RACI matrix, which records who is responsible, accountable, consulted, or informed for each activity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a project charter, define scope and governance, identify stakeholders, assign responsibilities, and record project risks.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion about what the project includes, who makes decisions, and who owns each task 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

project-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 9d 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.

SAP Project Kickoff

This skill enforces structured SAP project initiation so that no project starts without a charter, governance model, stakeholder register, and risk register — the four artifacts that prevent the "we assumed someone else was handling that" failures that kill SAP programs.

Iron Laws

  1. NO PROJECT WITHOUT A CHARTER. A verbal agreement is not a project. A charter with scope, governance, milestones, and sign-off authority is a project. Everything else is a favor.
  2. NO SCOPE WITHOUT BOUNDARIES. In-scope means nothing without explicit out-of-scope. Every charter must list both. Ambiguous scope is the #1 cause of SAP project overruns.
  3. NO GOVERNANCE WITHOUT ESCALATION PATHS. A steering committee that meets monthly is not governance. Defined escalation paths with SLAs and named decision-makers is governance.
  4. NO RACI WITHOUT VALIDATION. A RACI created by one person is a wish list. A RACI validated by every Accountable party is a commitment.
  5. NO KICKOFF WITHOUT RISK REGISTER. Projects that start without identified risks are not optimistic — they are negligent. Minimum 5 risks with quantified impact.
  6. ACTIVATE PHASES ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE. Every SAP project maps to SAP Activate phases (Discover, Prepare, Explore, Realize, Deploy, Run). Custom phase names create confusion with SAP support and quality gates.

Rationalization Table

Agent Will Try To... Why It Seems Reasonable Why It Fails Counter
Skip stakeholder analysis "The project sponsor told us who matters" Sponsors have blind spots. Missed stakeholders surface at UAT with blocking objections. Checklist Step 1: Minimum 4 stakeholder categories (executive, process owner, end user, IT).
Define scope as a bullet list "The SOW already has the scope" Bullet lists lack precision. "Implement FI" could mean 2 company codes or 50. Iron Law 2: Scope must include entity counts, process boundaries, and explicit exclusions.
Skip the communication plan "We'll figure out communication as we go" Ad-hoc communication means the steering committee learns about risks from rumors. Checklist Step 5: Communication plan with audience, frequency, channel, and owner for each stakeholder group.
Create a RACI in isolation "I know the org chart" Org charts show reporting lines, not project accountability. The FI lead may not know they own chart of accounts migration. Iron Law 4: Every A (Accountable) party must confirm in writing.
Use generic risk categories "Risks are risks — resource, budget, timeline" Generic risks generate generic mitigations. "Data migration complexity" with a specific legacy system named drives action. Checklist Step 6: Each risk must name a specific SAP module, system, or workstream.
Assume SAP Activate is understood "Everyone knows Activate" Teams confuse Activate with Waterfall, ASAP, or their own hybrid. Phase gates get skipped. Iron Law 6: Charter must map deliverables to Activate phases explicitly.
Skip the out-of-scope section "We listed what's in scope, isn't that enough?" What you don't list, the client assumes is included. Especially integrations, reports, data migration. Iron Law 2: Out-of-scope section is mandatory and must be at least half as long as in-scope.
Copy a charter template without customizing "This template worked for the last project" Every SAP landscape is different. A retail S/4HANA project charter does not fit a pharma brownfield migration. Verification: Charter must reference this client's specific systems, modules, and org structure.

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.
