# ultracook

The skill is retired: any /ultracook call resolves to /cook, which now owns the whole implementation pathway. Worth installing only for compatibility.

## What it does

\`/ultracook` is no longer a top-level skill. Every invocation with its arguments and flags resolves to `/cook`, and `--open-pr`, `--resume <slug>` and `--auto` carry forward verbatim. The old mechanics — decompose, wave-fan the curds, harvest, wire, post-merge review — now live inside `/cook`'s single pathway, dispatched via `/cook --auto`. Each phase still runs as a fresh, isolated sub-agent context blind to the prior phase's reasoning.

What stayed put: `skills/ultracook/references/` as compatibility material for `/cook`'s fan pathway, the manifest at `.cheese/ultracook/<slug>/manifest.yaml`, and `src/easy_cheese/shared/fanout/mode.py`, which `/cook` calls directly. The executable runtime ships only through the cook archive (`skills/cook/scripts/cook.pyz`); no ultracook archive is published. The manifest shape is `references/manifest-schema.json`, and each curd's dispatch prompt is `references/curd-prompt.md`.

The practical read: install this for the mechanics and you get a redirect, not a separate implementation. Source-code I/O in the retained scripts runs under `/cook`'s ownership and follows the same routing rule as the rest of the set.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add paulnsorensen/easy-cheese --skill ultracook -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/ultracook/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/ultracook/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add paulnsorensen/easy-cheese --skill ultracook -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/ultracook/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add paulnsorensen/easy-cheese --skill ultracook -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/ultracook/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install paulnsorensen/easy-cheese ultracook
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/ultracook/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add paulnsorensen/easy-cheese --skill ultracook -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/paulnsorensen/easy-cheese --path skills/ultracook
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/ultracook/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add paulnsorensen/easy-cheese --skill ultracook -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/paulnsorensen/easy-cheese/tree/HEAD/skills/ultracook/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- redirect an old `/ultracook` call to the current pathway without editing scripts
- keep existing manifests in `.cheese/ultracook/<slug>/` working
- run the wave fan-out through `/cook --auto`
- carry `--open-pr`, `--resume <slug>` and `--auto` into the new skill unchanged
- tell which files stayed with the old skill and which moved

## Example prompts
- run /cook --auto on this spec
- resume the interrupted task with /cook --resume <slug>
- run /cook --open-pr on the current branch

# /ultracook (retired)

`/ultracook` is retired as a top-level skill. Its mechanics — decompose, wave-fan curds, harvest, wire, post-merge review, plate — now live inside `/cook`'s single pathway, dispatched via `/cook --auto`, each phase still running as a fresh, isolated sub-agent context blind to the prior phase's reasoning. See [`../cook/SKILL.md`](../cook/SKILL.md)'s `## Fan pathway` section.

## Redirect

Any `/ultracook <spec> [flags]` invocation resolves to `/cook <spec> [flags]`. Carry `--open-pr`, `--resume <slug>`, and `--auto` forward verbatim — their semantics are unchanged, just hosted inside `/cook` now.

## What did not move

- `skills/ultracook/references/` remains as compatibility material for `/cook`'s fan pathway; executable runtime now ships only through the cook archive (`skills/cook/scripts/cook.pyz`), and no ultracook archive is published.
- The manifest path stays `.cheese/ultracook/<slug>/manifest.yaml` for continuity — the identity of the skill that reads/writes it changed, not the path; its shape is `references/manifest-schema.json`, and each curd's dispatch prompt is `references/curd-prompt.md`, both read by `/cook`'s fan pathway.
- `src/easy_cheese/shared/fanout/mode.py` remains a decomposer/fanout internal — `/cook`'s fan pathway calls it directly rather than through this retired skill.
- The retained scripts/references still do source-code I/O under `/cook`'s ownership — that follows [`code-intelligence-routing.md`](../cheese/references/code-intelligence-routing.md) same as everywhere else.

If you are here because muscle memory typed `/ultracook`, run `/cook` with the same arguments.
