| description | Multi-timer cooking helper — parallel timers with labels, optional whole-house "dinner is ready" broadcast at the end. |
Cooking Session
Trigger on "cooking mode", "I'm starting dinner", "料理モード", "晩ご飯
の準備", or when the user asks for multiple concurrent kitchen timers.
Distinct from a single set_timer: cooking-session expects 2-5 parallel
timers (rice, pasta, sauce, oven) with labels, and offers an end-of-
cook "dinner is ready" broadcast to the household.
Default flow
- Acknowledge briefly: "Cooking mode. What needs timing?"
Don't pre-set anything.
- Collect timers: the user lists them — "rice 15, pasta 11, chicken
22". For each, call
set_timer with
{ seconds: <N * 60>, label: "<food>" }. Labels are important; when
a timer fires the system speaks the label, so the cook knows what
finished.
- Optional kitchen music: if the user asks, call
launch_app with
a music app name or execute_command action:"media_play" on a
media_player if one is registered. Default to silence — cooking
requires focus.
- Adjust on the fly: "Change the chicken to 25 minutes" → call
cancel_timer with the matching id (if known) or cancel_all_timers
then re-set. The agent should grep the returned timer list for the
label when the user refers to one by name.
- Recipe lookup: if the user asks "how long for medium-rare
salmon?" or "convert 1 cup flour to grams", call
web_search or
convert_units. Keep the answer to one sentence.
End-of-cook
When the user says "dinner's ready" / "ご飯できた":
cancel_all_timers so nothing chimes mid-meal.- If multi-room is on:
broadcast_tts with
{ text: "Dinner is ready", language: <detected> } so every room's
speaker calls the family.
broadcast_announcement with { text: "Dinner is ready", ttl_seconds: 600 } so a late-arriving teenager still sees the
banner on the ambient screen.- Speak local confirmation: "Told the house."
Style
- Short prompts, no recipe preamble.
- Japanese: mirror the user's choice of formal / casual speech
("です・ます" vs "だ・である") — cooking is casual for most users.
