This may be belated. WAY belated. But I can actually give a simpler guide.
Burn fuel until your time to apoapsis is at least 15 days above a Kerbin year (426 days). Set up a maneuver node, pull the retrograde handle, and then wait until you get a Kerbin encounter. If you enter tangenial to the planet, you will not gain as much velocity if on the inbound or outbound leg of the orbit. If the closest approach is below or above the planet, pull either of the normal nodes.
If you are heading to Dres, Jool, or Sarnus, you need to pass behind the planet; you cannot get to Urlum, Neidon, or Plock with this because it will either a) pass within the atmosphere, or b) impact the planet. One to Duna will need you to pass in front of Kerbin to slow yourself down. Not that you'd want to do that.

...
I send an asteroid onto an impact course with Duna using Kerbin's gravity.
-
Failure; it can't even get to the Mun, let alone Low Kerbin Orbit, because you forgot to slap on a proper rocket engine.
I send a missile to destroy a dead/nonfunctioning spacecraft.
-
It doesn't work because why would a superbase be uncrewed.
I try to make a probe escape the Solar System using the gravity of Jool and Sarnus.
-
I got captured into orbit around Ike...without needing to burn.

Maybe for your next update, if Eeloo Moons is installed with OPM, then Alu can become a Chrion analogue? Or Vesta. Also, are you planning on 64K configs?
-
Oh. What about recolored OPM/Jool/Eve in case somebody has those?
-
KerbalStuff is down.
-
Is it possible that you may add new stock craft? (Like a Jool Probe, Sarnus Probe, Urlum Probe, etc.) Or merge it with the Planet Nine challenge?
-
When will you add the updated Plock and Khato icons?
-
It accidentally lands on the Mun.
I am sending an atmospheric entry probe to Jool.
-
Is it possible to make Eve comparable to Venus (as in, a retrograde-rotating body and/or has a day the same as its year)?
-
The asteroid is being sent onto an impact course with Kerbin, or at least assisted to another impact course with Eve or Duna.
I send a low Delta-V mission to Sarnus, using the gravity of Eve, Kerbin, Kerbin again, and Jool to get there.
-
-
Ah, I see. Thanks for helping!
-
Can you save Delta-V by using a MESSENGER/Bepi-Colombo-style path, using the gravity of Kerbin once, Eve twice, and Moho between 3 and 5 times?
-
You could have lessened your delta-V had you used gravity assists (JGA, KJGA, KJSGA, EKKJSGA).
-
I feel like maybe I could make this into a planet pack. Depends on if you're still working on Jool Plus... I might just call this SS+.
-
Do you gain or lose any points for using gravity assists to get to Jool (e.g. KGA, EKKGA) and/or other moons in the system?

Probably, but my uneducated gut instinct would focus on Eve due to the very low initial dV cost, short transfer time and low position in solar orbit.
Ah, I see. Thanks!
...except a mission would only need to get to Jool for a gravity assist, or use a behemoth of a rocket.
-
Is it possible to use at least a Joolean Gravity assist to get to End? Or potentially the gravity of other giant planets, especially Sarnus or Neidon?
