Cook - Smart Feature Implementation
End-to-end implementation with automatic workflow detection.
Principles: YAGNI, KISS, DRY | Token efficiency | Concise reports
Usage
/cook <natural language task OR plan path>
IMPORTANT: If no flag is provided, the skill will use the interactive mode by default for the workflow.
Optional flags to select the workflow mode:
--interactive: Full workflow with user input (default)--fast: Skip research, scout→plan→code--parallel: Multi-agent execution--no-test: Skip testing step--auto: Auto-approve all steps
Example:
/cook "Add user authentication to the app" --fast
/cook path/to/plan.md --auto
Smart Intent Detection
| Input Pattern | Detected Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
Path to plan.md or phase-*.md |
code | Execute existing plan |
| Contains "fast", "quick" | fast | Skip research, scout→plan→code |
| Contains "trust me", "auto" | auto | Auto-approve all steps |
| Lists 3+ features OR "parallel" | parallel | Multi-agent execution |
| Contains "no test", "skip test" | no-test | Skip testing step |
| Default | interactive | Full workflow with user input |
See references/intent-detection.md for detection logic.
Workflow Overview
[Intent Detection] → [Research?] → [Review] → [Plan] → [Review] → [Implement] → [Review] → [Test?] → [Review] → [Finalize]
Default (non-auto): Stops at [Review] gates for human approval before each major step.
Auto mode (--auto): Skips human review gates, implements all phases continuously.
Claude Tasks: Utilize all these tools TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskGet and TaskList during implementation step.
| Mode | Research | Testing | Review Gates | Phase Progression |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| interactive | ✓ | ✓ | User approval at each step | One at a time |
| auto | ✓ | ✓ | Auto if score≥9.5 | All at once (no stops) |
| fast | ✗ | ✓ | User approval at each step | One at a time |
| parallel | Optional | ✓ | User approval at each step | Parallel groups |
| no-test | ✓ | ✗ | User approval at each step | One at a time |
| code | ✗ | ✓ | User approval at each step | Per plan |
Step Output Format
✓ Step [N]: [Brief status] - [Key metrics]
Blocking Gates (Non-Auto Mode)
Human review required at these checkpoints (skipped with --auto):
- Post-Research: Review findings before planning
- Post-Plan: Approve plan before implementation
- Post-Implementation: Approve code before testing
- Post-Testing: 100% pass + approve before finalize
Always enforced (all modes):
- Testing: 100% pass required (unless no-test mode)
- Code Review: User approval OR auto-approve (score≥9.5, 0 critical)
- Finalize (MANDATORY - never skip):
project-managersubagent → update plan/phase status to completedocs-managersubagent → update./docsif changes warrantTaskUpdate→ mark all Claude Tasks complete- Ask user if they want to commit via
git-managersubagent
Required Subagents (MANDATORY)
| Phase | Subagent | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Research | researcher |
Optional in fast/code |
| Scout | scout |
Optional in code |
| Plan | planner |
Optional in code |
| UI Work | ui-ux-designer |
If frontend work |
| Testing | tester, debugger |
MUST spawn |
| Review | code-reviewer |
MUST spawn |
| Finalize | project-manager, docs-manager, git-manager |
MUST spawn all 3 |
CRITICAL ENFORCEMENT:
- Steps 4, 5, 6 MUST use Task tool to spawn subagents
- DO NOT implement testing, review, or finalization yourself - DELEGATE
- If workflow ends with 0 Task tool calls, it is INCOMPLETE
- Pattern:
Task(subagent_type="[type]", prompt="[task]", description="[brief]")
