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
