Test Kitchen Parallel Coding FAQs

Question 1

What are 'Architectural Slots' in this skill?

Accepted Answer

Slots are specific points of indecision, such as choosing a database or an auth method. Test Kitchen identifies these during brainstorming and offers to explore each variant in parallel.

Question 2

When does the Test Kitchen skill trigger?

Accepted Answer

It triggers automatically on keywords like 'build', 'create', or 'implement', and can also activate if Claude detects architectural uncertainty or 'indecision signals' during your conversation.

Question 3

What is the difference between Omakase-off and Cookoff?

Accepted Answer

Omakase-off is an entry gate used for exploring different architectural designs before coding starts, while Cookoff is an exit gate used to compare different implementation approaches of a single, finalized design.

Question 4

How does it pick a 'winning' implementation?

Accepted Answer

In Cookoff mode, multiple agents implement the design in parallel. The user can then compare the results, often supported by automated tests that verify which implementation best meets the functional requirements.

Question 5

Can I skip the brainstorming phase entirely?

Accepted Answer

Yes. By selecting 'Omakase' mode at the entry gate, you can skip detailed brainstorming. Claude will gather minimal context, generate 3-5 architectural approaches, and implement them all immediately.
