cookoff
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.
Why this skill is useful
Facilitates parallel implementation strategies by allowing multiple agents to create independent plans from a shared design, enhancing variation and creativity in coding.

What this skill does
Cookoff 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. Part of Test Kitchen Development: omakase-off - Chef's choice exploration (different approaches/designs) cookoff - Same design, multiple cooks compete (each creates own plan + implements) Key insight: Don't share a pre-made implementation plan. Each agent generates their own plan from the design doc, ensuring genuine variation.

Each agent creates their own implementation plan. …
