Gourmet Organizer
Use this skill when
Use this skill when the user:
- shares a tasting menu, menu photo, or dish list;
- asks for a restaurant tasting note or summary;
- wants a new visit merged into
Notes/Gourmet.md; or
- wants multiple visits to the same restaurant kept side by side.
Workflow
1. Find the right landing spot
- Run
python3 Notes/snippets/markdown_toc.py Notes/Gourmet.md to see the file structure.
- Search for the restaurant and nearby cuisine sections with
rg -n "<restaurant>|<cuisine>|<city>" Notes/Gourmet.md.
- Prefer updating an existing restaurant section.
- If the restaurant already exists, preserve prior visits and split the notes by visit, date, or menu type rather than blending everything together.
2. Normalize the source material
- Separate menu-provided information from user-added observations.
- If a menu photo is hard to read, use the photo only as a draft parse and treat explicit user corrections as the source of truth.
- Keep track of selected dishes versus menu options that were not chosen.
- Preserve concrete sensory details: texture, aroma, temperature, aftertaste, and what made the dish memorable.
3. Write the note in the house style
- Keep the existing restaurant heading if one already exists.
- Use compact bullets and short tasting analysis instead of long generic prose.
- Preserve the user's viewpoint implicitly through the tasting language; do not write meta phrases like "the user's note says".
- Keep existing content intact. Add, refine, and structure, but do not delete valuable prior notes.
- If the meal has a clear progression, keep the course order.
- End with a short summary only when it helps compare visits or explain the restaurant's style.
4. Sources and safety
- Add links only for external sources you actually used.
- For user-provided menu photos or text, no external citation is needed.
- Never overwrite a previous visit just because a newer menu is more detailed.
