Cookoff

Category: General · Sub-category: agents-skills-meta · Last updated: 2026-05-21

This skill should be used when moving from design to implementation. Triggers on "let's build", "implement this", "looks good let's code", "ready to implement". Presents options for parallel agent competition (cookoff), single subagent, or local implementation. Each agent creates own plan from shared design for genuine variation.

From the source SKILL.md

Same design, multiple cooks compete. Each implementation team creates their own plan from the shared design, then implements it. Natural variation emerges from independent planning decisions.
