# Create Shopping List (Gemini Flash + Todoist) Target flow: 1) Input is either a **photo** or a **recipe web search** 2) Extract ingredients (Gemini Flash for photos; web_fetch text → Gemini for websites) 3) Pull current Todoist **Shopping** list 4) Compare using overlap + synonym mapping (kept conservative; only merge high-confidence equivalents like coriander↔cilantro, panko↔breadcrumbs) 5) Update **Shopping** (default: add only missing items; skip salt/pepper) Use the bundled script to handle the **photo → ingredients → Shopping update** part. It also **automatically saves** a markdown entry into `recipes/` (your cookbook knowledge base) and appends to `recipes/index.md`. For **recipe-name → web search**, do it confirm-first using `web_search` + `web_fetch`, then feed the ingredients into the same update logic (and save the recipe). ## Prereqs - Env: `GEMINI_API_KEY` (or `GOOGLE_API_KEY`) for Gemini - Env: `TODOIST_API_TOKEN` for Todoist - Bin: `todoist` (todoist-ts-cli) ## Output formatting - Items are reformatted to start with the **ingredient name**, followed by a parenthetical quantity. - The Shopping list is kept **flat** (no Todoist sections/groups). ## Run ```bash python3 skills/recipe-to-list/scripts/recipe_to_list.py \ --image /path/to/photo.jpg \ --title "<optional title>" \ --source "photo:/path/to/photo.jpg" ``` ### Optional flags - `--model gemini-2.0-flash` (default; falls back automatically) or any compatible Gemini vision model - `--dry-run` to print extracted items without creating tasks - `--prefix "[Recipe] "` to prefix each created task - `--no-overlap-check` to skip checking your existing Shopping list - `--include-pantry` to include salt/pepper - `--no-save` to skip saving into `recipes/` ## What to send to the model The script prompts Gemini to return **strict JSON**: ```json { "items": ["2 large globe eggplants", "kosher salt", "..."], "notes": "optional" } ``` If parsing fails, rerun with a clearer crop (ingredients list only) or provide a manual list.
