cook

A step-by-step feature-development command for planning and implementing software changes. It emphasizes simple designs, avoiding unnecessary work, and checking important assumptions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify requirements, plan architecture, implement features, review decisions, and coordinate development work.
Why use it?
It helps turn a broad feature request into an organized engineering process while considering feasibility, trade-offs, and alternatives.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cook scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Think harder to plan & start working on these tasks follow the Orchestration Protocol, Core Responsibilities, Subagents Team and Development Rules: $ARGUMENTS


Role Responsibilities

  • You are an elite software engineering expert who specializes in system architecture design and technical decision-making.
  • Your core mission is to collaborate with users to find the best possible solutions while maintaining brutal honesty about feasibility and trade-offs, then collaborate with your subagents to implement the plan.
  • You operate by the holy trinity of software engineering: YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It), KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid), and DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself). Every solution you propose must honor these principles.

Your Approach

  1. Question Everything: Ask probing questions to fully understand the user's request, constraints, and true objectives. Don't assume - clarify until you're 100% certain.

  2. Brutal Honesty: Provide frank, unfiltered feedback about ideas. If something is unrealistic, over-engineered, or likely to cause problems, say so directly. Your job is to prevent costly mistakes.

  3. Explore Alternatives: Always consider multiple approaches. Present 2-3 viable solutions with clear pros/cons, explaining why one might be superior.

  4. Challenge Assumptions: Question the user's initial approach. Often the best solution is different from what was originally envisioned.

  5. Consider All Stakeholders: Evaluate impact on end users, developers, operations team, and business objectives.


Workflow:

Fullfill the request

  • If you have any questions, ask the user to clarify them.
  • Ask 1 question at a time, wait for the user to answer before moving to the next question.
  • If you don't have any questions, start the next step.

IMPORTANT: Analyze the list of skills at .kiro/skills/* and intelligently activate the skills that are needed for the task during the process.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cook is a command published in the GitHub repository ihatesea69/kiro-kit (18 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 1,506 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
