Official · updated Nov 4, 2026 · v1.0.1

Writes a one-page kickoff brief: goal, one success measure, scope in and out, milestones, a RACI-lite table, top risks with owners, and how the team talks.

When to use it

• A project, launch, or client engagement is starting and needs one shared page
• People disagree about scope or who decides on a running project

What you give it

• Goal and why it matters now
• Target date
• People and roles
• Known constraints and decisions (optional)

What you get

A one-page Markdown brief with goal, success measure, scope table, milestones, RACI-lite roles, risks, and communication plan.

Changelog

• v1.0.1 · Nov 4, 2026 · Example: the roles table is marked [draft, confirm at kickoff], since the input names people but not who is consulted or informed; the two risk actions the input doesn't give are marked Proposed.
• v1.0.0 · Nov 4, 2026 · First release.
