Paprika Recipe Importer

Convert recipe content (any format/language) into a .paprikarecipes file for Paprika 3.

Workflow

1. Extract recipe fields from the input (text, image, transcript, URL content). 2. Build a JSON recipe object — only include fields actually present in the source; do NOT invent values. 3. Run the packaging script to produce the .paprikarecipes file. 4. Deliver the file to the user.

Step 1 — Extract Fields

Parse the input and populate only the fields that exist in the source:

| JSON field | Notes | |-------------------|-------| | name | Recipe title. Required. | | ingredients | Newline-separated list. Format: quantity unit ingredient. | | directions | Newline-separated steps. | | description | Intro/summary paragraph, if present. | | notes | Tips, variations, author notes. | | servings | e.g. "4 porções" or "serves 6" | | prep_time | e.g. "15 min" | | cook_time | e.g. "30 min" | | total_time | e.g. "45 min" | | source | Author name, site name, person. | | source_url | Original URL, if available. | | categories | JSON array of strings, e.g. ["Jantar", "Massas"] | | difficulty | "Easy", "Medium", or "Hard" — only if explicitly stated. | | rating | Integer 1–5 — only if explicitly stated. | | nutritional_info| Any nutritional data present. |

Rules:

Never fabricate values not present in the source.

Keep the original language (Portuguese, English, mixed — whatever the source uses).

Ingredients: one per line, preserve quantities and units exactly.

Directions: one step per line; numbered steps → strip the number (Paprika handles display).

Step 2 — Build JSON

Write the recipe as a JSON file to a temp path, e.g. /tmp/.json.

Step 3 — Run the Script

python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/paprika-recipe-importer/scripts/build_paprikarecipes.py \
  /tmp/.json \
  /tmp/.paprikarecipes

The script accepts a single JSON object or a JSON array (for multiple recipes).

Step 4 — Deliver

Send the .paprikarecipes file to the user. Mention:

How to import: File → Import in Paprika (or double-click the file on macOS/iOS).

Which fields were found and which were absent from the source.
