One of 12 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
I already have an exact, pre-written step-by-step implementation plan located at docs/plans/fix-bug/plan.md. Execute this plan directly using TDD without creating multiple parallel plans or competitive branches.
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Executes the existing implementation plan sequentially | Missed | Passed |
| Does not spawn parallel competing cookoff workers | Passed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
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.
