How do I install the Cook skill?

Run npx skillmds add majiayu000/cook in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

What does the Cook skill do?

ALWAYS activate this skill before implementing EVERY feature, plan, or fix. It is listed under Coding & Dev Tools on SkillMD.

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Capability flags: reads secrets. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Cook?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

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>

Optional flags: --fast, --parallel, --no-test, --auto

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.

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: project-manager AND docs-manager must complete

Required Subagents

Phase	Subagent
Research	`researcher` (parallel, optional in fast)
Scout	`scout`
Plan	`planner`
UI Work	`ui-ux-designer`
Testing	`tester`, `debugger`
Review	`code-reviewer`
Finalize	`project-manager`, `docs-manager`, `git-manager`
