What it does

Project Kickoff is an agent skill from Stanshy/AgentHub. Initialize new project with CLAUDE.md, .knowledge/ structure, company rules, and git

Its SKILL.md is about 530 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 Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files and Skill authoring. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: One person, one software company. Manage 47 AI agents from a single Electron app — with Harness Engineering (Skills + Hooks + FileWatchers) for disciplined, traceable AI workflows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Agent instruction files
  • Tasks that involve Skill authoring

Example prompts

  • “/project-kickoff”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Glob, Bash

Workflow steps

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

  1. 檢查現有結構
  2. 部署 CLAUDE.md
  3. 建立 .knowledge/ 結構
  4. 部署共用規則

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5300820. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Glob
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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 Kickoff loads about 528 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 96 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~528

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

專案初始化

PM 啟動新專案時使用,確保所有基礎結構就位。

使用方式

/project-kickoff <project-type> <project-name>

參數

  • $0: 專案類型(web-app / api-service / mobile-app / library)
  • $ARGUMENTS: 完整參數

執行步驟

  1. 檢查現有結構

    • 檢查 CLAUDE.md 是否已存在
    • 檢查 .knowledge/ 目錄是否已存在
    • 如已存在,提示確認是否覆蓋
  2. 部署 CLAUDE.md

    • 從對應模板生成(替換 {專案名稱} 佔位符)
    • 模板位置:AgentHub .knowledge/company/project-templates/{type}/CLAUDE.md.template
  3. 建立 .knowledge/ 結構

    • 建立 .knowledge/ 目錄
    • 複製 architecture.md(從模板目錄)
    • 建立空的 project-overview.md(標題 + 佔位符)
    • 建立空的 postmortem-log.md(標題 + 空表格)
    • 從模板部署 file-index.md(替換 {專案名稱}、填入今日日期)
      • 模板位置:AgentHub .knowledge/company/project-templates/{type}/file-index.md.template
  4. 部署共用規則

    • 複製 company-rules.md → .knowledge/company-rules.md
    • 複製 team-workflow.md → .knowledge/team-workflow.md
  5. 建立 Roadmap

    5a. 建立 proposal/ 目錄(若已存在則跳過)

    5b. 建立 proposal/roadmap.md(若已存在則跳過):

    markdown
    # {專案名稱} — 產品路線圖
    
    ## 產品定位
    > {一句話描述產品}
    
    ## 目標用戶
    > {描述}
    
    ## 核心價值

    | Sprint 1 | {待定} | {待定} | 🔲 規劃中 |
    
    ## 長期願景
    > {描述}
  6. Git 初始化

    6a. 檢查是否已有 git repo(.git/ 目錄存在):

    • 已存在 → 跳過 git init
    • 不存在 → 執行 git init

    6b. 建立 .gitignore(若已存在則跳過):

    node_modules/
    dist/
    .env
    .env.*
    .claude/
    coverage/
    *.log
    .DS_Store

    6c. 執行初始 commit(若 working tree 有變更):

    bash
    git add -A
    git commit -m "chore: project kickoff — {project-name}"
  7. 輸出下一步 Checklist
