Intercepts any build/create/implement request and routes to omakase-off (parallel design exploration entry gate) or cookoff (parallel implementation competition exit gate), letting tests pick the winner. Use on any "build X", "create Y", "implement Z", "try both approaches", or "compare implementations" request — this is an aggressive entry gate that intercepts all such requests to offer design exploration and parallel implementation options.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Test Kitchen

Parallel implementation framework with two gate skills:

| Skill | Gate | Trigger |
|-------|------|---------|
| `test-kitchen:omakase-off` | **Entry** | FIRST on any build/create/implement request |
| `test-kitchen:cookoff` | **Exit** | At design→implementation transition |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add 2389-research/test-kitchen/test-kitchen@sha256:ce1ce35ca9567786

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.ae4150e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
