Meal Planning

Generate meal plans, shopping lists, and nutritional summaries from recipes in ./recipes/.

Generating a Weekly Meal Plan

Understand preferences (ask if not provided):
- Meals per day (default: 3 — breakfast, lunch, dinner)
- Dietary restrictions
- Cuisine preferences
- Difficulty preference (weeknight = easy/medium)
- Servings per meal
Check recipe availability:
- Glob ./recipes/*.md to inventory all existing recipes
- Only use existing recipes — never invent or generate placeholder recipes for the meal plan
- If fewer than 5 recipes are available, stop and ask the user if they'd like to brainstorm and add new recipes before creating a meal plan
- If enough recipes exist, proceed to selection
Select recipes from the available collection:
- Vary cuisines across the week
- Mix difficulty levels (simpler on weekdays)
- Respect dietary restrictions
- Reuse ingredients across meals to reduce shopping
Format the meal plan (reference recipes by title only — do not include full recipe content):

# Meal Plan: March 22 - March 28, 2026

| Day | Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner |
|-----|-----------|-------|--------|
| Mon | ... | ... | ... |
| Tue | ... | ... | ... |

Save to ./meal-plans/YYYY-MM-DD-to-YYYY-MM-DD.md if user wants it persisted. Each entry should reference the recipe file path (e.g., ./recipes/chicken-tikka-masala.md) so the user can look up the full recipe.

Shopping List Generation

From a meal plan or user-specified set of recipes:

Read the Ingredients section of each recipe.
Parse quantities and units.
Combine duplicates, summing quantities where units match.
Group by category:
- Produce
- Meat & Seafood
- Dairy & Eggs
- Pantry / Dry Goods
- Spices & Seasonings
- Other
Present the list and optionally save to ./shopping-lists/.

Nutritional Summary

Provide rough nutritional overview per meal and per day (estimates based on common knowledge):

Approximate calories per serving
Protein / carbs / fat balance
Notable nutritional highlights (high protein, high fiber, etc.)

Always note these are estimates, not precise values.
