Chef Router
The library is a brigade, not a checklist. Classify -> select -> read -> cook. Every selected skill must change the result.
Shared contracts
chef-constraints-adaptation defines cue-first, equipment-aware recipe writing. Read it when execution detail or equipment adaptation matters.chef-food-safety owns safety controls. Read it when a safety number/process governs the answer; do not treat an "always-on" label as if an unloaded table were already in context.chef-accessible-cooking is an explicit execution modifier for ADHD/СДВГ, fatigue, overwhelm, one-thing-at-a-time workflows, household measures, burner choreography or live stage-by-stage help. It counts as one routed skill and does not imply beginner technique.
Step 1 — Primary verb
| Verb |
Purpose |
Usual lead |
| MAKE |
create/cook a dish |
named dish/cuisine skill, or chef-recipe-developer |
| FIX |
rescue/audit |
chef-recipe-optimizer, chef-sauces-guide or chef-flavor-balance |
| JUDGE |
evaluate |
chef-culinary-inspector |
| PLAN |
menu/event/meal prep |
chef-menu-event-planning or diet-goal-nutrition |
| LEARN |
build skill |
chef-training-progression |
| ADAPT |
fit equipment/diet/substitution/execution |
relevant owner |
| PRESERVE |
ferment/pickle/can/cure |
chef-fermentation-preservation |
Step 2 — Material modifiers
| Signal |
Add only when it changes the answer |
| iconic named dish with an actual bundled spec |
chef-world-classics |
| Chinese/Japanese/French/Italian/Mexican/German/Indian/Silk Road context |
one cuisine skill |
| meat / seafood / vegetables / grains-legumes as the main technical question |
one ingredient guide |
| sauce failure |
chef-sauces-guide |
| bread/dough |
chef-baking-doughs-guide |
| pastry/chocolate/sugar |
chef-pastry-confectionery |
| spices/blends/dosing |
chef-spice-guide |
| appliance conversion |
chef-equipment-gastrophysics |
| pantry improvisation |
chef-pantry-improviser |
| unavailable ingredient |
chef-ingredient-localizer |
| budget |
chef-kitchen-economics |
| leftovers/scraps |
chef-zero-waste |
| children/picky or food-sensory eating |
chef-kids-sensory |
| allergy/restriction |
one matching diet-* owner; add safety when cross-contact matters |
| ADHD/СДВГ, low focus, fatigue, one thing at a time, can't estimate by eye, household measures, burner-by-burner or explicit beginner execution help |
chef-accessible-cooking; preserve the cook's actual technique level |
Negative triggers: an ADHD question unrelated to cooking is outside this library; a historical mention of ADHD does not force verbose execution for "what is cumin?"; "short answer" stays short. Adult attention support does not route to the kids skill unless food-sensory/child context is actually present.
Step 3 — Chain discipline
Target 1–4 skills, hard ceiling 5 per active route. Complex projects may use separate bounded waves; do not create a 12-skill simultaneous context.
chef-world-classics wins only when it contains the named dish. A famous name is not proof that a spec exists. A cuisine skill usually beats a generic ingredient guide for cuisine-specific method; add the guide only for a missing hard number/failure mode. For live rescue, speed wins: one repair skill can be enough.
Examples
| Request |
Chain |
| "Курица по-китайски, СДВГ, без параллельной суеты" |
chef-cuisine-chinese + chef-accessible-cooking; add safety if a chicken endpoint is needed |
| "Придумай мясо с рисом, новичок, нужны ложки и конфорки" |
chef-recipe-developer + chef-meat-guide + chef-grains-legumes-guide + chef-accessible-cooking |
| "Я опытный повар с СДВГ, распиши порядок карбонары" |
chef-world-classics + chef-accessible-cooking; no knife kindergarten |
| "Сметана сворачивается прямо сейчас" |
chef-sauces-guide; immediate rescue first |
| "Какие специи к нуту?" |
chef-spice-guide |
| "Можно ли этот рис есть завтра вечером?" |
chef-food-safety |
Output shape
MAKE -> executable recipe. FIX -> immediate cause/fix, full audit only if requested. JUDGE -> verdict + prioritized fixes. PLAN -> plan/timeline. LEARN -> next drill. ADAPT -> adapted artifact + tradeoffs. PRESERVE -> complete controlled method + source/safety gates.
Do not stack audit prose, legal boilerplate and a recipe unless the user asks. Project-level responsibility is in /DISCLAIMER.md; local safety warnings still appear exactly where they change an action.
1---2name: chef-router3description: Entry point for the Chef Agentic Skills library. Use first for general cooking, recipe creation or repair, meal planning, learning, adaptation, preservation, food-safety questions, and any request where several chef skills could apply. Route to the smallest useful chain and keep attention, experience, equipment and measurement needs separate.4---56# Chef Router78The library is a brigade, not a checklist.
