| name | doordash-allergy-shield |
| description | Persistent dietary safety layer for DoorDash CLI (dd-cli) ordering. Stores a personal/household dietary profile (allergens with severity tiers, diets, dislikes) that every cart is vetted against before checkout, with a deterministic tripwire — the vetting step saves the full cart contents to a vetted-cart dump, and a PreToolUse hook re-greps that dump against the anaphylaxis-severity allergen list before any checkout URL is allowed. Use when the user mentions allergies or dietary restrictions, when ordering food for someone with restrictions, or on every dd-cli cart flow while this skill is installed. A tripwire, not medical-grade — the human checkout page is the final check. |

DoorDash Allergy Shield
Claude has no cross-session memory: tell it "I'm allergic to peanuts" today
and tomorrow it happily adds pad thai. This skill persists a dietary profile
and makes cart vetting mandatory — with a deterministic hook double-checking
the highest-severity allergens before any checkout URL is emitted.
Unofficial community skill built on DoorDash's doordash-oss/doordash-cli.
Honest limits (state these to the user on first use)
- Matching is heuristic, against item names/descriptions from
cart show output plus a synonyms table. It cannot see full ingredient
lists and knows nothing about cross-contamination in the kitchen.
- It is a tripwire against agent mistakes, not a medical device. The
DoorDash payment page — where the human reviews the real order — is the
documented final check.
- False positives are accepted by design: blocking a safe ponzu bowl is
cheap; the reverse is not. Hook matching is substring-based (short
allergen names like "oat" can match inside "goat cheese") — annoying,
never dangerous.
- The
references/allergen-synonyms.md table is intentionally broader than
the compact synonym subset hardcoded in the checkout-gate hooks; adding a
synonym to the reference doc alone does not change what the hooks enforce.

State
~/.claude/doordash-profile/dietary.json — the profile. Structure:
{
"people": {
"me": {
"allergens": [
{ "name": "peanut", "severity": "anaphylaxis" },
{ "name": "shellfish", "severity": "avoid" }
],
"diets": ["vegetarian"],
"dislikes": ["cilantro"]
},
"sam": { "allergens": [{ "name": "egg", "severity": "avoid" }], "diets": [], "dislikes": [] }
}
}
Severity tiers: anaphylaxis (hook-enforced, never overridable in-session),
avoid (requires explicit human acknowledgment to keep the item),
preference (mention it, don't gate on it).
~/.claude/doordash-profile/vetted/<cart-uuid>.json — one dump per vetted cart:
the full raw cart show output plus your verdict and a timestamp. The
checkout hook greps this artifact — it trusts the dump, not your claim.
Protocol
Session start
Read dietary.json. Missing → offer to create it interactively (or via
/doordash-profile). If the user is ordering for others ("lunch for me and Sam"),
make sure each eater exists in the profile or ask for their restrictions.
After EVERY cart mutation (add-items / remove-item / reorder)
- Run
dd-cli cart show --cart-uuid <X> and capture the full output.
- Check every line against each relevant eater's profile — direct matches
AND hidden sources from
references/allergen-synonyms.md (satay→peanut,
aioli→egg, ponzu→soy+fish, …).
- On a conflict:
anaphylaxis → remove the item (dd-cli cart remove-item) and tell
the user why. Do not offer to keep it.
avoid → present the conflict; keep only with explicit acknowledgment.
preference → mention it in passing.
- Items whose name is too opaque to judge ("Chef's Special #3") → mark
UNVERIFIED and require the user's explicit sign-off for eaters with
anaphylaxis entries.
- Write the vetted dump: full
cart show output + verdict + ISO timestamp
to ~/.claude/doordash-profile/vetted/<cart-uuid>.json. Without this file the
checkout hook blocks — vetting is not optional.
At checkout
Just run dd-cli order checkout-url --cart-uuid <X> (or the dd-guard
wrapper when doordash-spend-guard is installed — the two gates compose). The hook
independently verifies: dump exists, is newer than the last cart mutation it
saw, and contains no anaphylaxis-tier keyword. If it blocks, do NOT try to
work around it — fix the cart, re-vet, and explain to the user what tripped.
Rules
- Never edit
dietary.json from the shell; profile changes go through
/doordash-profile (interactive, confirmed).
- Never write a vetted dump without actually running
cart show fresh — the
dump IS the audit artifact.
- When in doubt about an ingredient, doubt is a conflict.
