Need help deploying feature-kickoff?
Chalk Labs sets up agents like this inside real teams: connected to your tools, tested on your data, with a human in the loop where it matters.
Install
Works with Claude Code, Claude apps, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf. Read the repository before you give any tool access to your data.
npx agentmarket install skill/rafaie-feature-kickoff
Asks which of your tools to add it to (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop) and shows the change first. See https://agentmart.dev/cli.

SKILL.md (first lines)
1) Read project `AGENTS.md`, `codex.toml`, `spec/brief.md`, and the relevant `spec/backlog.md` item when present.
2) Collect inputs: Work item ID (`S-<stream>-<nnn>`, example `S-core-001`), title, goal, constraints.
- Accept legacy dotted `F` IDs only when updating older specs; create new work with `S-<stream>-<nnn>`.
3) Create a work item folder `spec/features/<work-id>-<slug>/` (use actual work item ID).
- Prefer repo templates under `spec/templates/` if present.
- Otherwise use this skill's `assets/default_*_template.md` files.
4) Create/update these documents inside the folder:
- `feature.md`: problem, scope, acceptance criteria, design, ADR links
- `implementation.md`: implementation plan and chronological implementation log
- `test-plan.md`: unit/integration/e2e/edge/smoke test plan
- `test-results.md`: commands run, outcomes, failures, fixes
- `status.md`: status, owner, next action, blockers
- `evidence/README.md`: directory placeholder and evidence index
5) Fill the initial docs.
- Acceptance criteria must use stable IDs such as `AC-1` and begin unchecked.
- `test-plan.md` must set smoke applicability to `required` or `not_applicable`.
- Required smoke must include scenario, fixture, pass/fail mode, runtime budget, and artifact path; not-applicable smoke must explain why the work is non-runnable.
6) Create an ADR only when a concrete architecture/design decision is present; never create an ADR solely because `spec/decisions/` is empty.
- Use `spec/decisions/ADR-XXXX-<slug>.md` and prefer `spec/templates/adr.md`.
7) Stop after writing docs. Do NOT implement code.
8) End by listing the next 3 tasks.
- Tasks must be distinct (no duplicates).
- Use this default sequence unless the user asks for a different flow:
1) `Run $spec-linter <work-id> to review the work item docs for gaps.`
2) `Run $implementation-phase <work-id> to plan tests, write tests, and implement the work item.`
3) `Run $ship-feature <work-id> to execute full checks, smoke evidence, ADR/docs/index updates, and final readiness output.`
- `<work-id>` must be the real ID for the folder you just created (example: `S-core-001`).
- Keep each task line concrete and non-redundant.From rafaie/codex_home, Apache-2.0.
