omakase-off
This skill should be used as the entry gate for build/create/implement requests. Triggers on "build X", "create Y", "implement Z", "add feature", "try both approaches", "not sure which approach". Offers brainstorm-together or omakase (chef's choice parallel exploration) options. Detects indecision during brainstorming to offer parallel exploration.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a structured workflow for parallel exploration of multiple approaches, which the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Omakase-Off Chef's choice exploration - when you're not sure WHAT to build, explore different approaches in parallel. Part of Test Kitchen Development: omakase-off - Chef's choice exploration (different approaches/plans) cookoff - Same recipe, multiple cooks compete (same plan, multiple implementations) Core principle: Let indecision emerge naturally during brainstorming, then implement multiple approaches in parallel to let real code + tests determine the best solution. Three Triggers Trigger 1: BEFORE Brainstorming When: "I want to build...", "Create a...", "Implement...", "Add a feature..." Present: Trigger 2: DURING Brainstorming (Indecision Detection) Detection signals: 2+ uncertain responses in a row on architectural decisions Phrases: "not sure", "don't know", "either works", "you pick", "no preference" When detected: Trigger 3: Explicitly Requested "try both approaches", "explore both", "omakase" "implement both variants", "let's see which is better" Workflow Overview Phase Description ------- ------------- 0. Entry Present brainstorm vs omakase choice 1. Brainstorm Passive slot detection during design 1.5. Decision If slots detected, offer parallel exploration 2. Plan Generate implementation plan per variant 3. Implement Dispatch ALL agents in SINGLE message 4. Evaluate Scenario tests → fresh-eyes → judge survivors 5. Complete Finish winner, cleanup losers See references/detailed-workflow.md for full phase details. Directory Structure Slot Classification Type Examples Worth exploring? ------ ---------- ------------------ Architectural Storage engine, framework, auth method Yes Trivial File location, naming, config format No Only architectural decisions become slots for parallel exploration. Variant Limits Max 5-6 implementations. Don't do full combinatorial explosion: 1. Identify the primary axis (biggest architectural impact) 2. Create variants along that axis 3. Fill secondary slots with natural pairings Critical Rules 1. …
