Log ingredients used

After cooking, just tell me: "on a utilisé lardons, pois chiches, une carotte" I'll automatically update stock.md and track what needs reordering.

Update inventory

Add items to inventory/stock.md with quantities and categories.

Provide feedback

Edit inventory/history.md with what you cooked + feedback (liked/disliked/would-repeat).

View shopping suggestions

Check inventory/shopping-list.md for items that are running low or needed.

View profiles

Check preferences/user1.md and preferences/user2.md to see what the system knows about each user.

How It Works

1. Reads current inventory from inventory/stock.md
2. Checks preferences from both taste profiles
3. Tracks usage — you tell me what you used, I update stock
4. Suggests shopping — when stock runs low, I build a shopping list
5. Generates recipe that:
   • Uses ingredients you have on hand
   • Respects both people's preferences
   • Takes ≤25 minutes
   • Avoids dislikes
   • Rotates through variety (15+ recipes)
6. Logs suggestion to history for learning

Cron Schedule

Daily at 19:00 (7 PM) — a reminder with a recipe idea lands in your chat.

Feedback Loop

• Try the recipe → tell me what you think + what you used
• System learns from "I loved this" / "too spicy" / "we'd make this again"
• Stock updates automatically
• Shopping list builds itself
• Next suggestions get smarter

A kitchen memory that learns and never gets boring.
