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):
  1. project-manager subagent → run full plan sync-back (all completed tasks/steps across all phase-XX-*.md, not only current phase), then update plan.md status/progress
  2. docs-manager subagent → update ./docs if changes warrant
  3. TaskUpdate → mark all Claude Tasks complete after sync-back verification
  4. Ask user if they want to commit via git-manager subagent

Required Subagents (MANDATORY)

Phase	Subagent	Requirement
Research	researcher	Optional in fast/code
Scout	ck: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]")
