## Description

Generate kickoff artifacts for a multi-phase program: umbrella plan, Program Goal Charter, session-goal block, per-phase plan stubs, and the 7-step per-phase inner loop reference.

> **Output style:** Follow `process/development-protocols/communication-standards.md`, answer-first, plain language, no unexplained jargon, TL;DR on long responses.

Generate kickoff artifacts for a multi-phase RIPER-5 program: umbrella plan, Program Goal Charter,
session-goal block, per-phase plan stubs, and the 7-step per-phase inner loop reference
(`R → I → P → PVL → E → EVL → UP`, which SKIPS SPEC).

The 7 steps are: Research → Innovate → Plan-Supplement → PVL (plan-validate loop, the gate that confirms the plan is ready before EXECUTE runs) → Execute → EVL (execute-validate loop, the confirmation run after EXECUTE, re-running gate tests independently) → Update-Process.

## When To Invoke

Invoke this skill at PLAN phase when phase-program initiation is detected (3 or more dependent
phases), or at ORCHESTRATOR when the incoming request involves 3 or more dependent phases.

Signal patterns that trigger this skill:

- the work naturally breaks into 3 or more dependent phases
- each phase needs its own validation gate before the next phase starts
- the work spans multiple packages, services, or runtime surfaces
- the user wants high-confidence progress with durable checkpoints
- repeated research is needed because new facts will emerge during execution

Do not invoke for a simple one-session feature or a small bug fix. Use the normal RIPER flow instead.

## Kickoff Procedure

Before creating any plan files, follow these steps in order:

**Step 1, invoke `vc-agent-strategy-compare`.**
For programs with 3 or more phases, output will always recommend parallel-subagents (one per phase
plan) or dynamic workflow. Plans are created in the recommended parallel mode, not sequentially.
