## Prompt

```text
Plan a kickoff meeting that launches my new team with a shared purpose and clear next steps. This is step 5 of the 'Build a new team from scratch' pack; paste the charter, working agreements, or quarterly goals from earlier steps.

**Team members and roles:** [LIST]
**Format and length:** [in person / remote; e.g. "half day"]
**Sponsor or senior leader who could attend:** [NAME/ROLE, or none]
**What I want people to leave with:** [e.g. "know the mission, know each other, know their first-month priorities"]
**Earlier step output (optional):** [PASTE]

Return:
1. A timed agenda covering: why the team exists (ideally from the sponsor), getting to know each other, the charter and goals, working agreements, roles and who to go to for what, and the first-month plan. Include breaks and buffer time.
2. Talking points for my opening, under 3 minutes, honest about what's still unclear.
3. One get-to-know-you activity that suits the format and doesn't require people to overshare.
4. Questions that surface concerns and ideas early (e.g. 'What would make this team fail?').
5. A follow-up message summarizing decisions, owners, and dates.
6. A short note to stakeholders announcing the team, what it does, and how to work with us.
