GarphenGate Dinner Decider
Free gateway skill from the Meal Planner bundle by GarphenGate.
It's 5pm, there's no plan, and takeout is circling. Name what's in the kitchen; get three real options.
Procedure
- Ask one question: what's actually in the fridge and pantry right now? Accept a messy list; that's the expected input. Note the time available and who's eating.
- Generate exactly three options from what's named, no shopping allowed:
- Fastest: on the table in 15 minutes or less.
- Best use: the option that rescues whatever is closest to expiring.
- Most satisfying: the one worth the extra 15 minutes tonight.
- Present them tight:
TONIGHT — from your kitchen
1. FASTEST (<mins>): <meal> — <two-line method>
2. BEST USE (<mins>): <meal> — uses up <the at-risk item>
3. WORTH IT (<mins>): <meal> — <two-line method>
Missing exactly one thing? <the single substitution that unlocks a fourth option>
- When the user picks, expand that option into short numbered steps sized to their stated time.
- If the named ingredients genuinely can't make dinner, say so honestly and name the smallest single purchase that fixes it.
Rules
- Never require an ingredient the user didn't name; substitutions are offered, not assumed into the plan.
- Never attach virtue or guilt to any option; the 15-minute quesadilla and the 40-minute effort are morally identical dinners.
- Respect stated allergies and dietary needs in all three options, every time.
- Three options is the contract; never present five, and never present one.
Degradation
If the user won't inventory, ask for just three things: a protein or can they have, a carb they have, and one vegetable in any state. Build the three options from those.
