name	rotate-scan
description	Rotate incorrectly oriented recipe scan images. Use this skill whenever a user mentions a recipe scan being sideways, upside down, rotated wrong, or needing orientation correction — including when referencing a GitHub issue about image rotation. Also trigger when the user says "rotate", "flip", or "fix orientation" in the context of recipe scans or images.

Rotate Recipe Scans

Fix incorrectly oriented recipe scan images by rotating them in place.

When this happens

Users browse the recipe website, notice a scan is displayed sideways or upside down, and open a GitHub issue (or tell you directly). Your job is to identify the recipe and apply the correct rotation.

Workflow

1. Identify the recipe

The user will reference a recipe by name, slug, URL, or GitHub issue. Find the matching recipe JSON in data/recipes/.

• If given a slug or URL: match against the slug field in recipe JSON files
• If given a recipe name: search recipe JSONs for a matching title.en or title.he
• If given a GitHub issue: read the issue to extract the recipe reference, then match as above

2. Confirm with the user

Before rotating, tell the user:

• Which recipe you found (title + ID)
• Which scan file(s) will be rotated
• What rotation you'll apply

If the user didn't specify the rotation amount, ask. Common cases:

• "sideways" or "on its side" → 90 or 270 (ask which direction, or look at the image yourself to determine)
• "upside down" → 180

3. Apply the rotation

Run the existing pipeline script:

cd /Users/mosheatlow/repos/SavtasRecipes
node --experimental-strip-types --no-warnings pipeline/src/skills/rotate-cli.ts <recipeId> <degrees>

Where:

• <recipeId> is the recipe UUID
• <degrees> is 90, 180, or 270 (clockwise)

4. Verify

After rotating, read the scan image to visually confirm the orientation looks correct. If it doesn't, rotate again to fix it.

5. Re-process if needed

If the rotation changes how the text reads, the recipe may need re-processing through the OCR pipeline. Ask the user if they want to re-run npm run process:one -- <scanFile>.
