SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The Recipe Integration Skill solves the challenge of turning disparate recipe content into consistent LaTeX cookbook entries, ensuring reliable structure and formatting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Extract recipes from URLs, pasted text, or photos.
  • Convert ingredients and instructions to the cookbook's canonical LaTeX style, including \begin{recipe} metadata blocks and proper endings.
  • Rewrite instructions into the cookbook voice for clarity and consistency.
  • Optionally calculate nutrition using the Edamam API (when credentials are available) and embed results for future use.
  • Verify rewritten recipes with an independent verifier and run automated structural checks before insertion.
  • Tag recipes by core ingredients and insert them into the correct cookbook chapter and index.
  • Insert the final .tex recipe into main.tex and trigger a XeLaTeX build if needed.

Quick Start

Provide a source (URL, pasted text, or photo) and the skill will extract, format, verify, and insert it into the cookbook.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a recipe from a URL or photo into a LaTeX cookbook entry?

Converting recipes into LaTeX cookbook entries requires extracting ingredients and instructions from a URL, pasted text, or photo, then formatting them into canonical LaTeX \begin{recipe} blocks. The process rewrites instructions for consistency and inserts the final .tex file into main.tex.

Can I automatically calculate nutrition facts when adding recipes to a LaTeX cookbook?

You can automatically calculate nutrition for LaTeX cookbook entries when Edamam API credentials are available. The computed nutritional data is embedded directly into the formatted recipe entry for future reference.

What is the best way to format recipe metadata and ingredients for a LaTeX cookbook?

Formatting recipe metadata for a LaTeX cookbook involves structuring ingredients and instructions into a canonical style with \begin{recipe} metadata blocks. This ensures consistent structure, proper tagging by core ingredients, and accurate indexing within the cookbook chapters.

How are recipe entries verified before being inserted into the main LaTeX document?

Recipe entries are verified using an independent verifier that checks accuracy before insertion into main.tex. The system runs automated structural checks on the LaTeX formatting and metadata to ensure the cookbook entry meets required standards.

Does the recipe integration process require a XeLaTeX build after insertion?

A XeLaTeX build can be triggered after inserting the final .tex recipe into main.tex. This step compiles the updated cookbook document to render the newly added recipe entry correctly.

How do I tag recipes by core ingredients and index them in a LaTeX cookbook?

Tagging recipes by core ingredients and indexing them in a LaTeX cookbook happens during the formatting process. The system automatically assigns tags based on extracted ingredients and places the entry into the correct cookbook chapter and index.
