ck:cook

ck:cook is a skill for Claude Code from bestagentkits/ck-skills. It costs 19 tokens per session (1,694 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided workflow for building features, planning work, and fixing problems in a code project. It can use interactive, fast, parallel, automatic-approval, or no-test modes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement a feature, follow a saved plan, or fix a problem while choosing how much research, user input, testing, or parallel work to include.
Why use it?
It gives coding tasks a repeatable path from planning through implementation and testing, reducing the chance of starting work without understanding it.

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

ck: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 10d 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.

Cook - Smart Feature Implementation

End-to-end implementation with automatic workflow detection.

Principles: YAGNI, KISS, DRY | Token efficiency | Concise reports

Usage

/ck:cook <natural language task OR plan path>

IMPORTANT: If no flag is provided, the skill will use the interactive mode by default for the workflow.

Optional flags to select the workflow mode:

  • --interactive: Full workflow with user input (default)
  • --fast: Skip research, scout→plan→code
  • --parallel: Multi-agent execution
  • --no-test: Skip testing step
  • --auto: Auto-approve all steps

Example:

/ck:cook "Add user authentication to the app" --fast
/ck:cook path/to/plan.md --auto

Anti-Rationalization

Thought Reality
"This is too simple to plan" Simple tasks have hidden complexity. Plan takes 30 seconds.
"I already know how to do this" Knowing ≠ planning. Write it down.
"Let me just start coding" Undisciplined action wastes tokens. Plan first.
"The user wants speed" Fastest path = plan → implement → done. Not: implement → debug → rewrite.
"I'll plan as I go" That's not planning, that's hoping.
"Just this once" Every skip is "just this once." No exceptions.

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

Changes

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.
