Execute a plan (or a small task) phase-by-phase: implement → verify → test → review → update status. Use after `vd:plan` to ship the plan, or directly for tight tasks (`--quick`). Default stops at review gates between phases; pass `--auto` to run straight through, `--quick` for sub-plan tasks, `--tdd` for tests-first.

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

# Cook

Cook **implements**. It does not design. If during cooking you find the plan is wrong, **stop** and kick back to `vd:plan` (or `vd:brainstorm` if the approach itself is wrong, or `vd:interview --wayfinder` if the remaining deciding will not fit one session) - don't silently redesign while typing.

## Hard rules

1. **One phase at a time.** Don't start phase N+1 until phase N's success criteria pass.
2. **No new design decisions in code.** If a step requires a choice the plan didn't make → stop and ask the user. Don't pick silently. Don't spawn a reviewer as a substitute for asking. `--auto` skips phase confirmation (Step G), not this.
3. **Compile/type-check after every file**, not at end of phase. Fail fast.
4. **Tests pass before review.** Don't ask for review with red tests.
5. **Plan status reflects reality** - update phase frontmatter and `plan.md` after each phase, never at the end.
6. **Outside review per phase.** Spawn a subagent reviewer at least once before declaring a phase done; self-review is not enough.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vanducng/skills/cook@sha256:aa6b2691ef3cddec

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.6.2, 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.
