How it works
cook
When your agent uses it
Runs the Cook Loop for ambitious visual builds that must match reference images, screens or videos through long autonomous iteration. Use it for 3D worlds made in code (three.js, WebGL, shaders), code-rendered films, launch and motion videos, games and polished UI that must hold up next to references, especially runs of many hours or days while the user is away. Trigger when the user types /cook or $cook, says "cook", "go cook", "let it cook", "iterate until it matches", "match the references", "99%", "99.9%", "9/10 minimum" or "at least 8h", or attaches reference images and asks for a recreation in code. It runs one intake, then loops build, stills, zero-context critics and fixes against a numeric bar, and holds the final render until the user approves.

# Cook
Give your agent a target, a bar and time, then let it cook.
This skill runs the Cook Loop: one intake, then a long autonomous loop of build, render, compare, critique and fix until the work holds up next to the references. It is made for runs of 10 to 40 hours or more. The references carry the look. The brief sets the bar, the rules and the time.
Optional companions: /unlazy for effort and completion discipline (the Depth Tree), and any goal, loop or long-run mode the harness offers. Cook works without them.
## State files
All run state lives in `cook/` at the project root. These files are your memory across context resets and the handoff to any other agent.
