What it does

Project Kickstart is an agent skill from cyanluna-git/cyanluna.skills. Full project pipeline — SRS → Plan → Tasks + TDD → Rolling Wave Execute. Use when starting a new project or major feature from scratch. Default mode is Rolling Wave (implement one → verify → refine next → repeat). Use --big-bang for old all-upfront refine style.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test-driven development.

When your agent uses it

  • Starting a new project
  • Major feature from scratch

Example prompts

  • “/project-kickstart”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. If topic is underspecified, ask 1-2 clarifying questions via AskUserQuestion
  2. Explore codebase if needed (Explore agent)
  3. Write SRS
  4. Save: docs/srs-{project-slug}.md
  5. Present summary to user and get approval before continuing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df5be37. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Project Kickstart loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 464 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 464 words (~1,787 tokens).

“Runs the complete project lifecycle from idea to rolling implementation.”
