Test Kitchen

You have a spec. Three valid approaches exist. Instead of guessing which one to build, Test Kitchen builds all of them in parallel git worktrees and lets your tests pick the winner.

Parallel implementation framework with two gate skills:

Skill	Gate	Trigger
test-kitchen:omakase-off	Entry	FIRST on any build/create/implement request
test-kitchen:cookoff	Exit	At design→implementation transition

Installation

/plugin marketplace add 2389-research/claude-plugins
/plugin install test-kitchen@2389-research

Quick examples

Entry gate: omakase-off

When you make a build/create request:

User: "Build a notification system"

Claude: I'm using test-kitchen:omakase-off.

How would you like to explore this?

1. Brainstorm together - We'll work through the design step by step
2. Omakase - I'll generate 3-5 best approaches, implement in parallel, tests pick winner
