What problem does it solve?
Authoring a LingTai recipe bundle requires knowing the exact directory layout, the recipe.json manifest schema, locale fallback rules, and validator expectations; this reference consolidates all of that so bundles pass validation on the first attempt.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Bundle Structure Specification: Defines the required .recipe/ dotfolder, the four optional behavioral layers (greet, comment, covenant, procedures), and the optional framework-agnostic library sibling folder.
- Manifest and i18n Rules: Documents the recipe.json schema (id, name, description, version, library_name), the rule that recipe.json is never localized, and the two-level locale fallback for behavioral layers.
- Validation and Publishing Workflow: Explains what validate_recipe.py checks, how to hand-author a minimal recipe, how to test it via /setup, and how to publish it as a shareable git repo.
- Use Case: You want to ship a recipe that installs a custom greeting and a library of skills into a LingTai project; follow this reference to lay out the bundle, set library_name correctly, and confirm the validator exits 0 before sharing.
Quick Start
Read this reference to author a recipe bundle with a .recipe/recipe.json manifest and validate it with validate_recipe.py before publishing.
