+---
+
+## Slide 1: The Problem — Why Chat-Style AI Coding Falls Short
+
+### Level 0: Raw Prompting (What most devs do today)
+
+```
+You:   "Add user authentication"
+AI:    Here's a basic auth implementation... [shallow code snippet]
+You:   "No, I need JWT tokens"
+AI:    Here's JWT... [another snippet, no context from before]
+You:   "It doesn't work with my existing User model"
+AI:    Can you paste your User model? [lost all prior context]
+You:   [pastes 200 lines] "Now fix the middleware too"
+AI:    [hallucinated middleware that doesn't match your codebase]
+...
+45 minutes later: scattered code, no tests, no docs, manual copy-paste
+```
+
+**Pain points:**
+- **Shallow work** — AI gives generic snippets, not production code
+- **No codebase awareness** — doesn't know your files, patterns, conventions
+- **Context evaporates** — each message starts from scratch
+- **Manual everything** — you copy-paste, test, review, commit yourself
+- **No quality gates** — no one checks the AI's output before you ship it
+
+### Level 1: Skills (Better, but still fragmented)
+
+Skills give AI **domain expertise** — how to write backends, style UIs, test properly. But standalone skills are isolated. Each does one thing well in a vacuum:
+
+```
+/skill-backend    → generates API code      ...but who plans it?
+/skill-test       → writes test cases       ...but who runs them?
+/skill-review     → reviews code quality    ...but who fixes issues?
+/skill-git        → commits changes         ...but who coordinates?
+```
+
+Skills without orchestration = **a toolbox with no builder**. You still manually chain them.
+
+### Level 2: Orchestration (The missing layer)
+
+What if one command could **plan, code, test, review, and ship** — automatically?
+
+```
+/ck-cook "Add user auth"
+  │
+  ├─ 1. Scout      → scout agent scans codebase, finds relevant files
+  ├─ 2. Research    → researcher agents gather information (parallel)
+  ├─ 3. Plan        → planner agent designs architecture & analysis
+  ├─ 4. Implement   → fullstack-developer agent writes code (parallel mode)
+  ├─ 5. Simplify    → code-simplifier agent refines code
+  ├─ 6. Test        → tester agent runs tests, debugger agent if failures
+  ├─ 7. Review      → code-reviewer agent evaluates quality
+  └─ 8. Finalize    → docs-manager updates docs, git-manager commits
+```
+
+**10 agents** orchestrated by **1 command**. The rest is handled automatically.
+
+### The Progression
+
+```
+┌─────────────┐     ┌─────────────┐     ┌─────────────────────┐

+│ 45 min/feat │     │ 20 min/feat │     │ 5 min/feat          │
+└─────────────┘     └─────────────┘     └─────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**CoKit operates at Level 2.** That's the difference.
+

+
+## Slide 2: What Is the Orchestration Layer?
+
+The system that **coordinates AI agents, prompts, and skills** to deliver end-to-end development workflows.
+
+```

+│    Code + Tests + Docs + Commit                      │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+Without orchestration → you prompt one step at a time.
+With orchestration → 1 command triggers the full pipeline.

+
+## Slide 4: 4-Tier Architecture Overview
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TB
+    subgraph T1["TIER 1: Orchestrators (2 prompts)"]
+        direction LR
+        cook["/ck-cook"]

+    style T1 fill:#FF6B6B,color:#fff
+    style T2 fill:#4ECDC4,color:#fff
+    style T3 fill:#45B7D1,color:#fff
+    style T4 fill:#96CEB4,color:#fff
+```
+
+**Rule:** Each tier only calls DOWN. No circular dependencies. No upward calls.
+
+| Tier | Role | Answers |
+|------|------|---------|
+| 1 | End-to-end workflow controllers | **WHAT** to do and in what order |
+| 2 | Domain-specific executors | **HOW** to do each step |
+| 3 | Reusable capability providers | **WITH WHAT** methodology |
+| 4 | Self-contained domain experts | **ABOUT WHAT** domain |
+
+---
+
+## Slide 5: Tier 1 — Orchestrators
+
+**2 prompts** | End-to-end workflow controllers
+
+| Prompt | What it does | Agents it references |
+|--------|-------------|---------------------|
+| `/ck-cook` | Full pipeline: Scout → Research → Plan → Implement → Simplify → Test → Review → Finalize | researcher, scout, planner, ui-ux-designer, fullstack-developer, code-simplifier, tester, debugger, code-reviewer, docs-manager, git-manager |
+| `/ck-bootstrap` | New project scaffolding | researcher, planner |
+
+**Think of it as:** The project manager that knows all steps and delegates to specialists.
+
+Cook has **6 modes** based on input detection:
+
+| Mode | Trigger | Behavior |
+|------|---------|----------|
+| interactive | default | User approval at each gate |
+| auto | "auto", "trust me" | Auto-approve if score ≥ 9.5 |
+| fast | "fast", "quick" | Skip research phase |
+| parallel | "parallel", 3+ features | Multi-agent execution |
+| no-test | "no test", "skip test" | Skip testing step |
+| code | path to plan.md | Execute existing plan |
+
+---
+
+## Slide 6: Tier 2 — Workflow Prompts + Agents
+
+**18 prompts + 12 agents** | Each command = **Prompt** (workflow) + **Agent** (persona)
+
+| Category | Commands | Agent | Skills activated |
+|----------|----------|-------|-----------------|
+| Planning | `/ck-plan`, `-fast`, `-hard`, `-validate`, `-red-team` | `planner` | planning, research, docs-seeker |
+| Scouting | `/ck-scout` | `scout` | repomix (if available) |
+| Debugging | `/ck-debug` | `debugger` | debug methodology (4 phases) |
+| Fixing | `/ck-fix`, `-types`, `-test`, `-ci`, `-ui`, `-fast`, `-hard`, `-logs` | `debugger` | debug, problem-solving, sequential-thinking |
+| Testing | `/ck-test` | `tester` | web-testing |
+| Review | `/ck-review` | `code-reviewer` | sequential-thinking |
+| Brainstorm | `/ck-brainstorm` | `brainstormer` | research, docs-seeker |
+| Simplify | `/ck-simplify` | `code-simplifier` | — |
+| Git | `/ck-git` | `git-manager` | git |
+| Docs | `/ck-docs` | `docs-manager` | docs-seeker |
+| Q&A | `/ck-ask`, `/ck-watzup` | (none) | context-dependent |
+
+**12 agents** serve **18 prompts** — `debugger` alone powers 9 prompt variants.
+
+### Prompt Navigation (Not Cross-Hub Orchestration)
+
+Tier 2 prompts link to each other via **"Suggested Next Steps"** footers:
+
+```
+/ck-fix → suggests → /ck-test, /ck-git
+/ck-test → suggests → /ck-fix, /ck-review, /ck-git
+/ck-brainstorm → suggests → /ck-plan (step 8: "Create implementation plan?")
+/ck-review → suggests → /ck-fix, /ck-git
+```
+
+This is **sequential prompt chaining** (user chooses next step), NOT automatic cross-hub orchestration. The user decides whether to follow suggested navigation.
+
+---
+
+## Slide 7: Tier 3 — Utility Skills
+
+**8 core + 3 conditional** | Reusable, stateless capability providers
+
+```
+                    ┌──────────────────┐
+    ┌──────────────>│  sequential-     │<──────────────┐
+    │               │  thinking        │               │
+    │               └──────────────────┘               │
+    │                      ▲                           │
+┌───┴────────┐      ┌──────┴──────────┐       ┌───────┴──┐
+│ debugger   │      │ code-reviewer   │       │ planner  │
+└────────────┘      └─────────────────┘       └──────────┘
+
+→ 1 skill serves MANY agents = DRY principle
+→ Leaf nodes: never call other skills
+→ Loaded only when context matches = token efficient
+```
+
+| Skill | Capability | Referenced by |
+|-------|-----------|---------------|
+| **research** | Web search, docs synthesis | planner, brainstormer |
+| **docs-seeker** | Library docs via context7 | planner, brainstormer, docs-manager |
+| **sequential-thinking** | Step-by-step reasoning | debugger, planner, code-reviewer, brainstormer |
+| **problem-solving** | Systematic stuck-ness techniques | debugger (fix skill) |
+| **agent-browser** | Browser automation CLI | debugger (fix-ui), tester |
+| **repomix** *(if available)* | Pack repo for AI | scout |
+| **context-engineering** | Token optimization | any agent when constrained |
+| **mermaidjs-v11** | Diagram syntax v11 | planner, visual generation |
+| **ui-ux-pro-max** *(if available)* | Design intelligence | ui-ux-designer |
+| **ai-multimodal** *(if available)* | Image/video analysis (Gemini) | any agent needing vision |
+| **media-processing** *(if available)* | FFmpeg/ImageMagick | any agent needing media ops |
+
+---
+
+## Slide 8: Tier 4 — Standalone Skills
+
+**7 core + 20 deferred** | Self-contained domain experts, no CoKit core dependency
+
+| Category | Skills |
+|----------|--------|
+| Backend | `backend-development`, `databases`, `devops` |
+| Frontend | `frontend-design`, `ui-styling` |
+| Testing | `web-testing` |
+| Git | `git` |
+| MCP | `mcp-management` |
+
+**How they differ from Tier 3:**
+- Tier 3: **Methodology** — how to think, research, debug
+- Tier 4: **Domain knowledge** — how to build backends, style UIs, deploy
+
+**Pluggable:** Add `skills/ck-new-skill/SKILL.md` → auto-discovered by context. No changes elsewhere.

+```
+
+---
+
+## Slide 10: Design Principles
+
+### 1. Hub-and-Spoke (Not Mesh)
+Orchestrators (hub) delegate to specialists (spokes). **No peer-to-peer** agent communication. Tier 2 prompts suggest next steps to each other, but the **user decides** — it's navigation, not automatic orchestration.
+
+### 2. Separation of Concerns
+Each resource does ONE thing well:
+- **Prompt** = defines a workflow
+- **Agent** = defines expertise/persona
+- **Skill** = provides knowledge/methodology
+
+### 3. DRY via Shared Skills
+`sequential-thinking` written once → used by debugger, planner, code-reviewer, brainstormer.
+
+### 4. Graceful Degradation
+External tools use `(if available)`. Missing repomix? Scout falls back to built-in search.
+
+### 5. Pluggable Architecture
+New skill = new SKILL.md file. No registration. No changes to prompts. Context-activated.
