Build robust backend systems — APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC), authentication (OAuth 2.1, JWT), databases, performance optimization, security (OWASP Top 10), scalability patterns (microservices, caching, sharding), and testing. Use when designing APIs, implementing auth, optimizing queries, handling security vulnerabilities, building microservices, or developing production-ready backend systems.
Explore and debate solutions before writing code. Use when the user poses a design question, asks "how should I approach X", wants to think through options before committing, or says anything like "let's brainstorm", "what's the best way to...", "I'm not sure how to tackle this", or "should I use X or Y". Always runs before /ck:plan for novel or ambiguous features. No code is written — only: explore → clarify → spec → report.
Implement a feature phase by phase from a phased JSON master or Markdown plan. Before each phase, confirm whether to create/run unit tests and whether to run ck:quality, unless explicit flags supply those choices. Supports token-budgeted execution, resumable state, and TDD handoff to ck:test.
Fix a bug using Scout → Diagnose → Fix → Review → Finalize. Use when the user pastes an error message, stack trace, or test failure, or says "fix this bug", "something's broken", "tests are failing", "I'm getting an error". Also accepts `--from-quality <report>` or `--from-test <report>` to fix exactly the findings/failures a report lists. Modes (pick one): --fast (trivial errors — lint, type, build — skip scout and review), --hard (mandatory review, no auto-approve).
Create a machine-readable phased JSON plan bundle from a spec or feature description. Produces a compact master manifest plus per-phase step files for resumable ck:cook execution.
Plan a feature or system before implementation. Use when the user says "plan this", "I want to build X", "how do I implement Y", or when /ck:brainstorm produces a spec.md. Always run before /ck:cook. Modes (pick one): --fast (simple, single-file), --hard (research + red-team + validate). Composable flag (combine with any mode): --tdd — propagates into the cook pipeline. Every phase gets Design Constraints and Quality/Testing State; ck:cook confirms optional test and quality checks per phase.

| description | Spot patterns appearing in 3+ domains to find universal principles |
| when_to_use | when noticing the same pattern across 3+ different domains or experiencing déjà vu in problem-solving |
| version | 1.1.0 |
When the same pattern appears in 3+ domains, it's probably a universal principle worth extracting.
Core principle: Find patterns in how patterns emerge.
| Pattern Appears In | Abstract Form | Where Else? |
|---|---|---|
| CPU/DB/HTTP/DNS caching | Store frequently-accessed data closer | LLM prompt caching, CDN, browser cache |
| Layering (network/storage/compute) | Separate concerns into abstraction levels | Clean architecture, OS rings |
| Queuing (message/task/request) | Decouple producer from consumer with buffer | Event systems, async processing, print queues |
| Pooling (connection/thread/object) | Reuse expensive resources | Memory management, worker pools |
| Rate limiting (API/traffic/admission) | Bound resource consumption to prevent exhaustion | LLM token budgets, DB connection limits |
Pattern spotted: Rate limiting in API throttling, traffic shaping, circuit breakers, admission control, connection pooling
Abstract form: Bound resource consumption to prevent exhaustion
Variation points: What resource, what limit, what happens when exceeded (reject / queue / degrade)
New application: LLM token budgets (same pattern — prevent context window exhaustion)
