Recipe Writer

Input Contract

Required inputs:

• recipe concept or dish name
• language scope (en default)
• any strict dietary/allergen constraints

Optional inputs:

• category
• tags
• explicit created date
• image path
• flavor profile, cuisine, or serving context

Ask only for missing items that materially affect correctness.

Output Contract

Each recipe file must:

• be written to content/recipes/<lang>/<slug>.md where <lang> is en or nl
• include valid YAML frontmatter with required keys:
  • title (string)
  • description (string)
  • ingredients (array of strings, or grouped object of string arrays)
  • instructions (array of strings)
  • created (dd-MM-yyyy)
• include optional keys only when relevant:
  • description_long (two short paragraphs)
  • image (only if explicitly provided or confidently inferred from real repo asset path/URL)
  • category
  • tags
• include markdown body:
  • # <title>
  • one short intro paragraph aligned with existing recipe tone

Ingredient rules:

• use a flat ingredient array by default
• use grouped ingredients object only for multi-component recipes (for example sauce, filling, toppings)

Internal link rules:

• when linking another recipe inside ingredient text, use /recipes/<slug>
• preserve exact slug and do not add language prefix

Language Handling (EN default, optional NL)

• generate English by default
• generate Dutch only when requested
• when generating both EN and NL:
  • keep identical slug in both files
  • keep key structure aligned
  • translate user-facing text naturally
  • keep created the same unless user explicitly requests otherwise

Quality Checklist

Before finalizing, verify:

• slug uses underscore style and filename matches slug
• required frontmatter keys are present
• created matches dd-MM-yyyy
• ingredients is valid (flat list or grouped object)
• instructions is a non-empty array
• markdown body includes heading and short intro paragraph
• optional image is not fabricated
• EN/NL outputs (when requested) share the same slug and expected paths
