Quickstart Example

This example demonstrates a complete /cook workflow from feature request to cooked output.

Scenario

You have a todo app and want to add a "due date" feature to tasks.

Files in this example

1. CLAUDE.md - Project context file (required for best results)
2. feature_request.md - The feature we want to cook
3. cooked_output.md - What /cook produces

How to run

# 1. In your project, ensure you have CLAUDE.md
cat CLAUDE.md

# 2. Invoke /cook with your feature
/cook Add due date field to tasks with reminder notifications

# 3. Review the cooked artifact
# Claude will produce output similar to cooked_output.md

What happens

1. Phase 0: Claude reads your CLAUDE.md and extracts project rules
2. Phase 1: Product Chef evaluates scope and value
3. Phase 2: UX Chef reviews user experience
4. Phase 3: Architect Chef designs technical approach
5. Phase 4: Engineer Chef creates implementation plan
6. Phase 5: QA Chef defines test strategy
7. Phase 6: Security Chef audits for vulnerabilities
8. Phase 7: Final artifact is produced

Key takeaways

• Good CLAUDE.md = better results
• Specific requests = specific output
• /cook stops you from coding too early
• The artifact is your implementation guide
