bring-recipes

What This Skill Does

The bring-recipes skill provides a command-line interface for browsing recipe inspirations directly from the Bring! shopping platform. Designed primarily for inspiration and discovery, this tool allows users to explore a wide variety of meal ideas, templates, and promotional content. Users can fetch recipe metadata including titles, authors, categories, image links, and like counts. It is a powerful tool for meal planning and culinary exploration without needing to open a browser or navigate the Bring! mobile application manually.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have Node.js 18.0.0 or higher installed. Run the installation via the ClawHub CLI: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/darkdevelopers/bring-recipes. Once installed, navigate to the skills/bring-recipes directory and run npm install to resolve dependencies. Finally, configure your authentication by exporting your Bring! credentials: export BRING_EMAIL="[email protected]" and export BRING_PASSWORD="yourpassword" in your shell profile.

Use Cases

• Meal Inspiration: When you are stuck deciding what to cook for the week, use this skill to quickly browse popular recipes within the Bring! ecosystem.
• Filtering Preferences: Quickly isolate recipes you have saved or favorited by using the --filter mine flag.
• Scripting and Automation: Developers can pipe the output into jq to parse specific recipe details, facilitating the creation of custom meal planning dashboards or automated reports.
• Metadata Retrieval: Retrieve high-quality imagery or direct URLs for recipes to reference later when shopping.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, browse the latest recipe inspirations for me from Bring!"
2. "Show me the recipes I have saved in my Bring! account using the bring-recipes skill."
3. "List the top 5 recipes found in Bring! and output them as JSON."

Tips & Limitations

It is critical to remember that this is a browse-only tool. Due to strict limitations within the Bring! Inspirations API, the skill cannot retrieve ingredient lists or add items directly to your shopping list. You should use this tool for high-level discovery. Additionally, there is no support for seasonal filters; filtering is limited to 'all' or 'mine'. If you encounter 'Untitled Recipe' entries, note that these are usually promotional posts and are expected behavior. Always ensure your environment variables are correctly exported before attempting to list recipes, as the API requires authenticated access to function correctly.
