What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Parse and import recipes from unstructured text, copied content, or informal descriptions into the standard markdown format. Use when the user pastes recipe text, shares a recipe, asks to "import a recipe", "save this recipe", "convert this recipe", or provides unstructured cooking instructions.

Recipe Import

Convert unstructured recipe text into the standard recipe markdown format.

Import Process

Receive input: The user provides recipe content as pasted text, a dictated recipe, website content, or an informal family recipe.
Extract structured data:
- Title: Look for a prominent name or heading
- Ingredients: Lines with quantities, units, food items
- Instructions: Numbered or sequential steps
- Metadata: Servings, prep/cook time, cuisine hints
Infer missing metadata using context clues:
- Cuisine: from ingredient combinations and techniques
- Difficulty: from technique complexity
- Tags: from ingredients and method
- Dietary: from ingredient list (see CLAUDE.md dietary rules)
- Times: estimate if not stated
Normalize ingredients to: - QUANTITY UNIT INGREDIENT, PREP_NOTES
- Convert informal measurements ("a handful of") to approximate standard units
- Separate prep notes from ingredient names
Present the formatted recipe to the user for review before saving.
Save to ./recipes/ using kebab-case filename from title.

Handling Ambiguity

If title is unclear, ask the user.
If servings aren't mentioned, default to 4 and note the assumption.
If ingredients are vague ("some oil"), use reasonable defaults ("2 tbsp oil").
Always show parsed result for confirmation before writing.

Batch Import

For multiple recipes at once, process each separately and confirm each before saving. For large batches, the recipe-parser agent can handle autonomous processing.
