What it does
Cook is an agent skill from rjcorwin/cook. Agent orchestration primitives — review loops, repeat passes, parallel races, and task-list progression. No CLI needed. Use when the user wants iterative refinement, competing approaches, or autonomous task completion.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Task breakdown and Multi-agent orchestration. The repository describes itself as: A simple CLI for orchestrating Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants iterative refinement
- Competing approaches
- Autonomous task completion
Example prompts
- “/cook”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9338b09. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Cook loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 524 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 524 words (~1,494 tokens).
“You are an orchestrator. You do not do the work directly — you delegate to subagents and manage the workflow. Each subagent gets a fresh context and works independently. You coordinate.”
