Cook: A simple CLI for orchestrating Claude Code

rc_kas•1h ago
Can someone explain what this is to my n00b brain. I don't get what claude-cli is missing that this adds in?
transitorykris•1h ago
Maybe not adds in, but wraps around. You could accomplish much of this with fairly simply bash scripts.
esperent•1h ago
You could accomplish all of it with claude -p (headless mode).
brcmthrowaway•1h ago
Indeed.

Where are people finding time for these sort of projects.

transitorykris•1h ago
Admittedly I might be missing a flag or two with claude, but how are multiple loops and comparisons of solutions done with just headless mode?
esperent•16m ago
Via skills.
beshrkayali•1h ago
IMO the raw Claude CLI is great for one-off interactive sessions, but as soon as you want repeatable multi-step workflows you’re either copy-pasting prompts forever or hacking your own solution manually. That’s exactly the gap these tools fill.

My take on a solution for this is https://ossature.dev — .smd spec markdown files + ossature audit / build that gives you DAG orchestration, SHA-traced increments, and tiny focused contexts.

eloisius•13m ago
Isn’t a repeatable, multi-step workflow exactly what a script or Makefile does?
sghiassy•37m ago
As a prerequisite you’d want to understand the purpose of Ralph Wiggum Loops

But in general this is meta to the CLI agent.

So if you were to use the CLI to perform a review of some code. This tool would allow you to loop the output of the code review 5 times onto itself.

sbinnee•56m ago
There is a skill installation option. The skill markdown has 180 lines [1].

My take? I like it. It's concise enough for me to try it out. And I love the webpage.

Thanks for sharing this post about Cook CLI. I like how it uses a recipe-based pattern to define workflows declaratively, making orchestration simpler and cleaner. Great approach to handling execution!
vadepaysa•21m ago
I did a Show HN[0] a few days back with my CLI agent called cook[1] and for a moment I was ecstatic my tool made it to the front page. haha.

How does this handle when Claude needs user input? To choose an option, grant tool permission, clarify questions…
