mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Turn what's actually in the fridge and 90 minutes on Sunday into a week that mostly feeds itself — a cook-once-eat-thrice batch plan, the component method (bases, proteins, sauces that recombine so leftovers don't bore you), honest food-safety day-counts flagged, and the Thursday problem solved in advance. Use when someone says 'meal prep my week', 'what do I cook with what I have', 'we spend too much on takeaway', or 'I'm sick of eating the same thing four days'. Produces the Sunday cook plan, the recombination map, and the shopping delta.

menu-cost-engineer

mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Cost a menu item to a plate cost and food-cost percentage, then price it for a target margin. Use when asked to cost a dish, calculate food cost percentage, price a menu item, or engineer a menu for profitability. Produces a plate-cost breakdown (ingredient × yield × price), the food-cost %, a suggested price for the target margin, and menu-engineering flags (star / plow-horse / puzzle / dog) so the operator knows what to promote, reprice, or cut.

sourdough-troubleshooter

mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Figure out why the loaf came out dense, flat, or gummy — and what to change next bake. Use when asked why is my sourdough [dense/flat/gummy/not rising], my starter isn't bubbling, help fix my bread, or troubleshoot my sourdough. Produces a likely-cause diagnosis from your symptoms and process, the specific fix for the next bake, a starter-health check, and a simple timing/temperature adjustment — no dogma, just the variable that's actually off.

whats-for-dinner

mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Decide what to cook tonight from what you already have and how much time/energy you've got — no shopping trip, no recipe rabbit hole. Use when asked what should I make for dinner, what can I cook with what's in my fridge, quick dinner ideas, or I don't know what to eat. Produces 3 doable options ranked by effort with a quick method for each, honest substitutions, and a 'need one thing' flag if a near-miss is worth a corner-shop run — respecting diets and dislikes.

server-training-guide

mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills

Build an onboarding and training guide for restaurant front-of-house staff (servers, hosts, bartenders). Use when asked to train a new server, create FOH onboarding, write service standards, or build a restaurant training program. Produces a phased training plan (shadow → hands-on → solo with support), the service-sequence standards, menu and allergen knowledge checks, POS and side-work basics, and a sign-off checklist that says when someone's ready to work a section alone.
