jisu-recipe

What This Skill Does

The jisu-recipe skill is a comprehensive integration with the Jisu Recipe API, designed to provide OpenClaw AI agents with instant access to a vast database of culinary knowledge. It functions as a specialized information retrieval tool that allows users to search for recipes by keyword, browse hierarchical food categories (such as nutritional benefits, health goals like weight loss, or cuisine types), and fetch detailed preparation steps, ingredient lists, and cooking times. By bridging the gap between raw culinary data and natural language processing, this skill enables your agent to act as a digital sous-chef capable of answering complex cooking-related queries with precision and structure.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, ensure you have an active API key from the Jisu Recipe platform. Once configured, execute the installation command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jisuapi/jisu-recipe

After installation, you must set your API key as an environment variable to enable authenticated communication with the service. For Linux/macOS, use export JISU_API_KEY="your_appkey_here". For Windows PowerShell, use $env:JISU_API_KEY="your_appkey_here". This setup allows the agent to handle authenticated requests safely without hardcoding credentials into scripts.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for home cooks, meal planners, and health-conscious individuals. Use it to:

• Search for specific dishes based on available ingredients in your fridge.
• Explore healthy diet plans by querying categories like 'weight loss' or 'detox'.
• Quickly retrieve step-by-step instructions and ingredient quantities for professional-grade recipes.
• Provide context-aware cooking advice during conversational interactions with your AI agent.

Example Prompts

1. "I have some cabbage and carrots in the fridge, can you find me a simple stir-fry recipe using these?"
2. "Show me some healthy recipes specifically designed for weight loss."
3. "How do I make a traditional Mapo Tofu, and what ingredients will I need to buy?"

Tips & Limitations

To get the best results, start with broad keywords and refine your search using the category browsing feature if you are unsure of specific dish names. Note that this skill requires an external internet connection to access the Jisu API. Always verify ingredient quantities and cooking times against your specific equipment, as recipe results are based on standard cooking practices provided by the data source. Ensure your environment variable is correctly set; otherwise, the skill will fail to authenticate with the remote API server.
