Custom prompts and project planning resources

Your first task for AI, with a prompt that fits your project.

Describe what you want to make. Prepare a prompt that asks your external AI to clarify requirements, agree on a plan, and verify the work. Learn and compare planning, design, and technology choices through examples.

Create a custom prompt ↗How to use →

kickoff does not provide an AI service. Prepare your prompt here, then copy and paste it into the external AI tool you use to continue the conversation and work.

Your idea + working guidelines

The service you describe

Neighbors list books they can lend, request a loan, and check when each book is due back.

Requests kickoff adds

Ask about missing requirements and constraints.
Explain options and recommend by project fit.
Agree on a plan before development; verify and report the work.

Read the actual generated prompt

Read https://kickoff.jujin.dev/ai/startup/latest.md and https://kickoff.jujin.dev/ai/instructions.md, then begin project planning from my service requirements and constraints. Preserve confirmed decisions and existing authorization. Include version control systems and repository hosting in planning; preserve existing choices and resolve only what is still undecided. Use catalog articles only when I request them or they help explain a decision. Assess whether extra agent skills or workflow tools are useful, using uncertainty, dependencies, change risk, collaboration, handoff, existing practices, and setup cost. Compare starting without extra skills, Spec Kit, and suitable alternatives; explain fit and tradeoffs. After I accept or delegate the selection, install/configure needed components in my external agent within existing installation authorization, verify availability, and invoke the selected workflow through its supported mechanism. Reuse existing setup and records. If tools are unavailable, provide manual next steps and report what remains unverified. For unresolved user-owned choices, ask with realistic options, pros/cons, and a recommendation justified by project requirements and constraints. If I delegate with ‘use your recommendation’, decide and record within that context without asking again; continue within existing authorization and handle internal implementation yourself. Maintain a Markdown checklist of adopted project criteria; read relevant items before changes and verify actual results afterward, following the assistant rules. For larger tasks, maintain a task file, save each unit, verify it, and automatically commit locally after checks pass, subject to existing restrictions; follow the rules for remote actions or missing repository/write tools. On completion or interruption, report actual outcomes, applied design/architecture and key decisions with reasons and tradeoffs, user-confirmed versus delegated choices, checks, task-file location, save/commit status, and remaining work.

Service name:
Undecided

Service description:
Neighbors list books they can lend, request a loan, and check when each book is due back.

Considerations:
Needs clarification

Reuse the information already provided above. Follow the question and delegation rules above; do not interpret blank considerations as no constraints. Derive necessary decisions from requirements and constraints, including options outside this site, then prepare a concrete project plan. Confirm the plan with me and begin building after an explicit development request; honor existing approval and authorization without asking again.

A prompt composition example. The conversation takes place in your external AI tool.

Why prepare your prompt here?

Your service description carries what you want to make. kickoff adds requests for how to work together: clarify requirements, explain choices, agree on a plan, and verify work. Review those guidelines before you copy.

Turn unknowns into questions: Ask your external AI to clarify unresolved details, such as the budget or loan period. Blank considerations are marked as needing clarification.
Understand why a choice fits: Ask for realistic options, tradeoffs, and a recommendation based on your service's requirements and constraints.
Know what was checked: Ask to agree on the plan before development and receive a report of applied decisions, actual checks, and remaining work.

These are instructions for your external AI. How it reads and follows them depends on the tool and model you use. See the instructions behind the prompt →
