manage-ingredient-hierarchy

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents ingredient hierarchy drift by importing a canonical parent/child structure, variant types, and functional roles from MediaIngredientMech into CultureMech recipe data.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Hierarchy enrichment: Imports ingredient_families.yaml and matches CultureMech ingredients to add parent_ingredient and variant_type.
• Role assignment: Applies ingredient_roles.yaml (with optional inheritance) to populate ingredient role fields for semantic querying.
• Validation and reporting: Runs structural checks (valid parents, no orphans/cycles, valid enums) and generates coverage statistics and Markdown reports.
• Use case: After ingesting new culture media recipes, integrate MediaIngredientMech’s ingredient taxonomy so hydrated/salt variants and functional roles become searchable and graph-ready.

Quick Start

Run a dry-run hierarchy import by pointing the Skill to your local MediaIngredientMech checkout and a CultureMech YAML directory, then limit processing to a small sample for verification.
