name	do.kickoff
description	Convert an idea or Inbox note into a structured DeepOrbit project. Use when the user wants to start, scope, or turn an idea into a project with a reviewable plan and C.A.P. project note.

Kick Off a Project

Keep the workflow portable. Use the current runtime's native Goal or Tracker when it exists, but keep the Markdown plan as the durable source of truth. Do not require subagents or an external self-invoking loop.

1. Resolve input and context

Accept an Inbox path, inline idea, or—when no input is given—offer the notes in 00_Inbox/. Read deeporbit.json for paths and language. Search related context with:

deeporbit --vault "<vault-path>" rag "<project subject>"

If semantic search is unavailable, use deeporbit ... rag --lexical-only or the runtime's file search. Identify overlapping projects before creating a duplicate.

2. Write a reviewable plan

Create 90_Plans/Plan_YYYY-MM-DD_Kickoff_<ProjectName>.md containing:

• source and one-sentence goal;
• related notes/projects and a merge recommendation when overlap is high;
• Area, estimated scale, constraints, phases, and success criteria;
• only the clarification questions that materially affect execution.

Open it with do.obsidian-open when available. Ask for confirmation before turning the plan into a project note because this step can reorganize the user's Inbox.

3. Execute the confirmed plan

Create 20_Projects/<ProjectName>.md for a small project or 20_Projects/<ProjectName>/<ProjectName>.md for a larger one. Use frontmatter:

---
title: Project Name
type: project
created: YYYY-MM-DD
status: active
area: "[[AreaName]]"
due:
priority: P2
tags: [project]
---

Use C.A.P. sections: Context, Actions, and Progress. Link it from today's Daily Note. Move the completed plan to 90_Plans/Archive/. For an Inbox source, set status: processed and archived: YYYY-MM-DD, then move it to 99_System/Archive/Inbox/YYYY/MM/ without overwriting an existing file.

• Set author: ai in frontmatter for every note you create; switch to author: mixed when substantially rewriting a human-authored note. Authorship lives in frontmatter only — never add visible badges. Report created and moved paths plus the next concrete action. Opening a note through Obsidian is useful but never a condition for success.
