SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Deciding what to cook each day is an inventory problem: without checking what is already in the house, who is home, and how much time is available, meal suggestions get ignored. This Skill grounds meal planning in real household state so plans actually get used. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Context-aware suggestions: Checks the existing meal plan, pantry contents, and the week's appointments before proposing two or three dinner options with concrete reasons. - Plan recording: Writes one dish per date and slot with an assigned cook, replacing entries transparently when plans change. - Shopping list generation: Compares planned ingredients against the pantry and adds only missing, non-duplicate items, including staples flagged as running low. - Use Case: Ask what's for dinner on a busy Thursday; the Skill sees a 5pm appointment, notes the chicken expires Friday, suggests a quick option, records the plan, and adds missing ingredients to the shopping list. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to plan dinners for the rest of the week based on what is in the pantry and add anything missing to the shopping list.

Frequently Asked Questions about meal-planning

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan meals for the week with an AI assistant?▼

Ask for a weekly meal plan and the Skill checks what is already planned, what is in the pantry, and upcoming appointments before suggesting dishes. It records one dish per date with an assigned cook and leaves already-planned days untouched.

How do I turn a meal plan into a shopping list?▼

After planning, the Skill lists required ingredients, checks them against the pantry, and adds only missing items that are not already on the list. It also adds staples flagged as running low so one shop covers everything.

Does the meal planning skill order groceries or make purchases?▼

No, there is no purchasing capability by design. The deliverable is a shopping list on your phone; the Skill never orders anything and only adds items to the shared list.

Can the skill handle dietary restrictions or allergies?▼

It records dietary restrictions and allergies as persistent household facts and respects them absolutely in future suggestions. It does not give nutrition or medical advice, treating restrictions as memory rather than guidance.

What data does the meal planning skill need to work?▼

It relies on the state MCP server for three inputs: the current meal week, pantry contents including low-stock items, and appointments for the next seven days. Without these it would be guessing rather than planning.
