Open workflow conductor. Classifies a coding task and runs the smallest viable path - direct, a pipeline of named skills with checkable done-when gates, or parallel fan-out - then resumes from on-disk state. Use when the user types ultracook, asks to orchestrate, run the whole pipeline, drive a feature or fix end-to-end, or split work across agents. Composes vd: skills by name; does not reimplement them.

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

# Ultracook - open conductor

`vd:ultracook` classifies a task and runs the smallest workflow that can prove the result. It composes existing skills **by name**. Planning rigor lives in `vd:plan`, execution in `vd:cook`, landing in `vd:ship`. This skill is a map, not a cage.

The one-session spine is **interview → brainstorm → plan → cook → ship**. Run only the slice the task earns. If the deciding will not fit one session, stop and run `vd:interview --wayfinder` before opening a pipeline.

## What this skill is - and isn't

| Skill | Question it answers | Horizon |
|---|---|---|
| `vd:interview` | "What do you actually want?" | One session |
| `vd:brainstorm` | "How should I approach this?" | One session |
| `vd:plan` | "What are the build steps?" | One plan, phases sized to one session |
| `vd:cook` | "Execute the plan." | One plan |
| **`vd:ultracook`** | **"Drive a decided goal through the smallest skill path that proves it."** | **One goal, one pipeline** |
| `vd:auto-loop` | "Keep iterating this one command until the gate." | One loop |

## Quick reference

| Form | Action |
|---|---|
| `vd:ultracook "<goal>"` | Classify, write `state.json`, run stages |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vanducng/skills/ultracook@sha256:9f6293c0bce4f3a3

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
