Smart Categories
When adding items, auto-categorize in the category parameter:
- Produce: fruits, vegetables, herbs →
produce
- Dairy: milk, cheese, yogurt, eggs, butter →
dairy
- Meat: chicken, beef, pork, fish, seafood →
meat
- Bakery: bread, rolls, pastries →
bakery

pantry

Quantity Parsing
Parse natural quantities into the quantity parameter:
- "a dozen eggs" →
quantity="12", text="Eggs"
- "2 litres of milk" →
quantity="2L", text="Milk"
- "500g mince" →
quantity="500g", text="Beef Mince"
Recipe to List
When someone shares a recipe or says "we're making X tonight":
- Look up ingredients for that dish (using web_search or your training knowledge)
- Ask "Want me to add the ingredients to the shopping list?"
- Check what might already be on the list to avoid duplicates:
list_get_items list_type=shopping
- Add each missing ingredient as a separate
list_add_item call
Meal Planning
When asked about meal planning:
- Check what's on the shopping list first with
list_get_items
- Suggest meals based on available or nearly-available ingredients
- Consider dietary preferences from family profiles (USER.md)
- Rotate suggestions to avoid repetition
