Startup Launch Kit

Opt-in orchestrator that sequences the five-step startup pipeline with state tracking via kit-manifest.json. The orchestrator is convenience for founders who want end-to-end coordination without manual step-chaining; it is not a replacement for any individual skill, and it never bypasses the gates each skill enforces.

The orchestrator's job is sequencing + state, not content. Each pipeline skill runs as itself — same prompts, same outputs, same gates the founder would see if they invoked the skill directly. The orchestrator just remembers where the founder is, surfaces the next step, and records overrides for audit.

It runs in one of two source modes (detected in Phase 0.3): greenfield (no built product — the step-by-step pipeline, as always) or existing-project (a codebase is present — the orchestrator reads it via startup-audit and pre-fills what code reveals, asking the founder only for what it can't infer). Existing-project mode is opt-in: offered when a codebase is detected, never forced.
