# Recipe Organizer

Fetch recipes from recipe posts or videos (Xiaohongshu, YouTube, Bilibili), extract structured content, and save clean recipe notes to a local folder.

## Configuration

Edit this value before first use:

```
SAVE_PATH=     # absolute path to the folder where notes will be saved
```

## Workflow

### Step 1 — Detect language

Determine the output language from context:
- User writes in **Chinese**, or source is primarily Chinese (Xiaohongshu / Bilibili) → use the **Chinese template**
- User writes in **English**, or source is primarily English (YouTube / English sites) → use the **English template**
- When in doubt, match the language the user wrote in

### Step 2 — Fetch page content

Use `mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_context_mcp` to check current tabs, create a new tab per link (`mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_create_mcp`), and navigate (`mcp__claude-in-chrome__navigate`).

Try `mcp__claude-in-chrome__get_page_text` first; fall back to `mcp__claude-in-chrome__read_page` (depth=5) if content is sparse.

**Platform-specific notes:**

- **Xiaohongshu**: Steps are often only in images — infer from comments and visible body text
- **YouTube**: Description box usually contains full ingredient list and timestamps; also check pinned comments
- **Bilibili**: Description and pinned comments are the main sources; step details may be in video chapters

### Step 3 — Analyse and consolidate

- Classify each link as a **recipe** or a **technique** (e.g. knife skills, deboning). Technique posts are not saved separately — merge their content as steps or tips into the related recipe.
- Extract: dish name, ingredients + quantities, steps, prep/cook time, serving size, tips
- Multiple links may combine into one dish (e.g. technique video + recipe video)

### Step 4 — Write the note

Use the `Write` tool to create `<SAVE_PATH>/<dish name>.md`.

**Chinese template:**

```markdown
# 菜名：[菜名]

> **描述**：[一句话描述，突出特色]
> **准备时间**：[X分钟] | **烹饪时间**：[X分钟] | **份量**：[X人份]

## 食材清单
- [ ] [食材]：[用量]
- [ ] [食材]：[用量]

## 制作步骤
1. **[步骤名]**：[具体操作]
2. **[步骤名]**：[具体操作]

## 小贴士
- [关键注意事项或技巧]

## 来源
- [标题](链接)
```

**English template:**

```markdown
# [Dish Name]

> **Description**: [One-line description highlighting the dish's character]
> **Prep time**: [X min] | **Cook time**: [X min] | **Serves**: [X]

## Ingredients
- [ ] [Ingredient]: [Quantity]
- [ ] [Ingredient]: [Quantity]

## Steps
1. **[Step name]**: [Instructions]
2. **[Step name]**: [Instructions]

## Tips
- [Key tips or cautions]

## Source
- [Title](link)
```

## Notes

- If quantities are not stated, use reasonable estimates and note "adjust to taste" (or "可根据口味调整") in tips
- Bold every step name for scannability
- Always keep the original source link
- If multiple posts support one dish, list all links in the source section
