Cook

High-autonomy "chef" for implementing new features from scratch. Handles code scanning, architectural research, technical specification, and full-stack implementation with a focus on "clean code" and project idiomatics. Use when the user says "cook this feature", "implement X", or "build Y".

The "Cook" Workflow

This skill transforms a high-level feature request into a production-ready implementation through a structured "kitchen" process.

Phase 1: Preparation (Research & Scan)

Scan: Use grep_search and glob to find existing patterns, related components, and architectural precedents.
Analyze: Understand how data flows and how existing features are structured in this specific codebase.
Ingredients: Identify the "ingredients" needed (new classes, UI components, API endpoints, or database changes).

Phase 2: The Recipe (Clear Spec)

Draft Spec: Create a concise technical plan.
Check-in: Present the plan to the user.
Clarify: If anything is ambiguous (UI details, edge cases), ASK for confirmation before touching the stove.

Phase 3: Cooking (Implementation)

Atomic Commits: (Mental or actual if requested) Build the feature in logical, self-contained steps.
Idiomatic Code: Follow the project's established style (naming, patterns, libraries).
Clean Code: Prioritize readability, DRY principles, and proper error handling.

Phase 4: Taste Test (Verification)

Verify: Run the build (./gradlew assembleDebug) and relevant tests.
Cleanup: Remove any temporary debug logs, comments, or unused imports.

Phase 5: Serving (Final Review)

Report: Summarize what was built and how to test it.

Guardrails

Don't Over-Season: Stay within the scope of the requested feature.
Fresh Ingredients: Always use the latest project conventions found in GEMINI.md.
Safety First: Never proceed with high-impact architectural changes without an approved "Recipe".
