What is Meals?
The Meals skill transforms your local file system into a powerful culinary command center. It leverages Openclaw Skills to help you organize weekly menus, manage a personal meal database, and automate shopping lists based on your specific dietary preferences and pantry stock. By maintaining a structured directory of markdown files, it ensures you spend less time planning and more time enjoying healthy, home-cooked food. This system is designed to grow with you, using progressive enhancement to move from simple planning to complex pattern-based suggestions over time.
Meals Use Cases
- Planning weekly dinners while balancing variety and time constraints.
- Automatically generating a categorized shopping list that excludes existing pantry staples.
- Building a historical database of favorite meals with ratings and dietary tags.
- Managing leftovers and batch cooking strategies for busy weeknights.
- Tracking dietary restrictions and preferences across a household.
How Meals Works
- The AI agent analyzes your upcoming week to determine the number of meals needed and identifies busy nights.
- You select meals or receive suggestions from your local database located in the ~/meals/ directory.
- A weekly plan file is generated in the plans/ subdirectory using a structured markdown format.
- The agent aggregates ingredients from the planned recipes, combines quantities, and subtracts items found in your pantry staples list.
- A categorized shopping list is produced, organized by store section (produce, dairy, meat, etc.).
- After cooking, you provide quick ratings to help the system refine future meal suggestions.
Meals Setup
To get started with this skill within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, follow these steps:
- Initialize your workspace directory:
mkdir -p ~/meals/{plans,meals,shopping}
- Create a
preferences.mdfile in the~/meals/folder to define your dietary restrictions and pantry staples. - Add your first few favorite recipes as markdown files in
~/meals/meals/including metadata for prep and cook times.
