Mealie Recipe Link Validator Skill

This skill provides instructions for determining if a potential web link is a high-quality, single, complete recipe suitable for import into Mealie.

Inputs

• url: The URL of the potential recipe page.
• title: The <title> of the page.
• description: The meta description or a short snippet of the page content.

Workflow

1. Identify Single Recipes:

   • The page must contain exactly ONE specific recipe.
   • It must have concrete ingredients and instructions for that single dish.
   • Respond with 'YES' only if it is a single recipe.

2. Filter Out Listicles and Collections:

   • Respond with 'NO' if the content is a collection, list, roundup, compilation, gallery, or directory (e.g., "21 Delicious Recipes", "15 Chicken Ideas", "Best ways to cook...").
   • Reject patterns like "X recipes", "X best...", "X+ recipes", "roundup", "collection", "ideas for".

3. Visual Quality Constraint:

   • Assume recipes without a featured image are invalid for this application. If the title or description suggests a low-quality or text-only blog post without a clear photo, respond with 'NO'. (Note: The calling application will perform the final visual validation after import).

4. Response Format:

   • Respond with ONLY 'YES' or 'NO'.
   • Do not add any other text, explanation, or punctuation.
