Recipe CRUD Operations

Manage recipe files in ./recipes/. Each recipe is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter.

Before Any Operation

1. Read CLAUDE.md for the canonical recipe format and field rules.
2. Ensure ./recipes/ exists: mkdir -p ./recipes/

Create a Recipe

1. Gather recipe details from the user. At minimum: title, ingredients, and instructions.
2. Infer reasonable defaults for missing fields:
   • cuisine: infer from ingredients and techniques
   • difficulty: estimate from technique complexity and ingredient count
   • prep_time / cook_time: estimate if user provides rough sense
   • tags: extract from ingredients and cooking method
   • dietary: infer from ingredients using CLAUDE.md dietary rules
   • date_added: use today's date
   • servings: default to 4 if not specified
3. Generate filename from title (kebab-case, .md).
4. Check if file already exists. If so, ask before overwriting.
5. Write using the exact format from CLAUDE.md.
6. Confirm creation and show file path.

Read / View a Recipe

1. If user specifies a name, glob for ./recipes/*name*.
2. If multiple matches, list them and ask which one.
3. Read and display the recipe in a readable format.
4. To list all: glob ./recipes/*.md and present a summary table with titles and cuisines from frontmatter.

Update a Recipe

1. Find the recipe file (same as Read).
2. Read current contents.
3. Apply requested changes using Edit.
4. If title changes, rename file to match new kebab-case title.
5. Confirm update and show what changed.

Delete a Recipe

1. Find the recipe file.
2. Show title and ask for confirmation.
3. Delete with rm.
4. Confirm deletion.
