description	Turn a user-provided recipe, family meal notes, or recipe from a URL into a simple markdown recipe matching this repo's style. Use when the user asks to add, simplify, rewrite, import, or build a recipe for this recipe repo.

Recipe Builder

Workflow

1. Inspect existing examples in recipes/*.md before writing so the new recipe matches the repo's current style.
2. If the user provides a URL, browse or fetch it only when explicitly allowed or when the URL content is required. Summarize and simplify; do not copy long source text.
3. Convert the recipe into a standalone markdown file under recipes/.
4. Use a short kebab-case filename, such as turkey-chili.md or greek-bowl.md.
5. Make the recipe self-contained. Do not reference weekly plans or other recipes from inside a recipe file.
6. Prefer simple grocery-store ingredients, packaged shortcuts, and practical quantities over restaurant-style prep.
7. Keep instructions short and executable for a home weeknight meal.

Recipe Format

Use this structure unless the existing repo style clearly changes:

## Recipe name shopping list for N people

**Main**

* **Quantity ingredient**

**Veg + toppings**

* **Quantity ingredient**

## Simple instructions

1. First simple step.
2. Next simple step.

Adjust section names to fit the meal. Common sections include Main, Sandwich toppings, Side, Toppings, Chips + salsa, and Veg + toppings.

Simplification Rules

• Target the simplicity of the current repo recipes: few sections, bold ingredient names, short numbered steps.
• Preserve important doneness and safety details, such as cooking chicken to 165°F.
• Replace complex homemade subcomponents with practical store-bought options when that matches the repo style, such as bottled marinade, prepared salad kits, premade salsa, or packaged seasoning.
• Keep useful brand/store notes if supplied by the user.
• Default to 3 people when the user gives no serving count.
• If the source recipe has many optional garnishes, keep only the ones that materially affect the meal or mark them optional.
• If source quantities are unclear, make reasonable grocery-practical assumptions and state them briefly in the final response.
