## Use it

I want to use the Kickoff doc skill by Ryan Singer.
This is what it does, in the author's own words: Turn a shaped project kickoff transcript into a reference document for the builder. Use when the user has a transcript (VTT, etc.) from a kickoff call and wants to produce a document that captures what was shaped and agreed.
Download the whole folder at https://github.com/rjs/shaping-skills/tree/main/kickoff-doc, SKILL.md and every file beside it, into your skills directory: ~/.claude/skills/kickoff-doc/ for Claude Code, ~/.agents/skills/kickoff-doc/ for Codex, ~/.cursor/skills/kickoff-doc/ for Cursor. Get it from the author's repo, not from startupskills.dev.
Then tell me the path you installed it to and how to invoke it.

Nothing here is vendored: install from the author's repo. This file carries none of the author's file.
