TDD-first · slow food for software

Cook software slowly. Ship it right.

Slowcook turns a user story into frozen tests, then lets agents iterate under strict guardrails until every test is green — PRD → mock → stories → code → QA, traceable end to end, with humans tasting at every gate. No slop, no black box.

why it's different

Built like slow food, not fast food.

Most AI coding tools sprint to a diff. Slowcook is deliberate: it earns every line, shows you the dish before it cooks, and never lets a robot sign off on taste.

🧭

Traceable end to end

Every element of the UI traces to a story, and every story to the PRD. Provenance lints fail the build if anything is unaccounted for.

🙋

Humans in the loop

Agents do the 90%; people approve the judgment calls — design, mock, QA. A bot's approval never satisfies a human gate.

🍽️

No cold slop

It builds a navigable mock you actually review before any backend, and writes the tests the code must pass to be served.

the kitchen

From idea to served — one traceable line.

The same pipeline runs whether you drive the CLI yourself or watch it on the Dashboard. 🟣 marks where a human tastes.

The CLI

Your repo · your infra · your keys

  • Frozen tests — written & human-approved before any code. Tests are the contract.
  • Progressive-green, ratcheted — every iteration keeps all passing tests; regressions auto-reverted.
  • Bounded token budget per story — runaway loops are detected and halted with a forked-road prompt.
  • Dispatches agents in your GitHub Actions; every iteration is a diff with full metadata.
  • Traceability spine + provenance & coverage lints · human-role gates (bot approvals never count) · chef auto-recovery
  • MIT · forge- & stack-agnostic · you own everything: code, tokens, data

the dashboard, previewed

See the whole kitchen at a glance.

Every gate shows the cheapest path to “done” — and whether an agent or a human closes it. Built with slowcook itself.

Fund outcomes, not tools.

A review is a review whether the eye agent checks every viewport in seconds for cents, or a certified human signs off on taste for dollars. Slowcook routes each gate to the cheapest path that meets its definition of done — and you watch the bill build in real time.

No auth walls, no onboarding mazes: jump straight to any persona, any state, any screen size, and comment right on it.
