If missing, use the page title. +- `servings` is a number (e.g. `4`). If the recipe says "serves 4-6", use `4`. +- `time`, `prep time`, `cook time` in whatever format the recipe uses (`45 minutes`, `1h30m`, etc.) +- `source` is the URL of the recipe. +- Omit any metadata field you can't determine — don't guess. +- Include `tags` as a YAML list if the recipe has categories or keywords. + +## Body structure + +After the front matter, a blank line, then the recipe body. + +### Steps + +Each paragraph is one cooking step.

Don't leave plain text that should be marked up. + +2. **Running text** — Ingredients often appear in the instructions as well as the ingredient list. Mark them in both places. If they're in the ingredient list, they MUST appear in the Cooklang body at least once. + +3. **Quantities** — Use the quantity from the ingredient list. If the instructions say "add the eggs" but the ingredient list says "4 eggs", use `@eggs{4}` in the instructions. + +4. **Prep in ingredient list** — The ingredient list often says "1 onion, finely chopped". In Cooklang this becomes `@onion{1}(finely chopped)`. Move the prep to parentheses. + +5. **Units** — Standardise units where possible: `g` not `gram`, `ml` not `millilitre`, `tbsp` for tablespoon, `tsp` for teaspoon, `cup` for cup, `kg` for kilogram. + +6. **Fractions** — Convert "½" to `1/2`, "1½" to `1,1/2`. + +7. **Range quantities** — If a recipe says "6-8 minutes", use `{6-8%minutes}` for timers (preserves the range). For ingredients, use the lower end: "300-400g flour" → `@flour{300%g}`. + +8. **Multiple components** — If the recipe has a sauce and a main, use sections: + ``` + == Sauce == + + ... + + == Pasta == + + ... + ``` + +9. **Yield** — If the recipe says "Makes 12 cookies", include `yield: 12 cookies` in metadata. + +10. **Missing info** — If you can't determine an ingredient's quantity, still mark it as an ingredient without quantity: `@salt`. If you can't determine the cooking time, don't add a timer. + +11. **Implicit ingredients** — If a step says "drain the pasta" but water isn't listed as an ingredient, you can add `@water{}` or skip it. Use judgment. + +12. **Don't add what isn't there** — Don't invent ingredients, quantities, or steps. Only convert what's in the source recipe. diff --git a/prompts/system-prompt.md b/prompts/system-prompt.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5d2d7fa --- /dev/null +++ b/prompts/system-prompt.md @@ -0,0 +1,64 @@ +You are a recipe format converter.
