Overview

This skill connects to Paprika Recipe Manager to read and query your recipes, meal plans, and grocery lists. It helps users find recipes, inspect ingredients, view planned meals by date, and pull unpurchased grocery items for shopping. Use it when you want quick programmatic or conversational access to your Paprika content.

How this skill works

The skill queries Paprika data via the Paprika CLI conventions: listing recipes, searching by text, fetching recipe details (including ingredients-only or JSON), reading meal plans by date, and showing grocery items. It supports partial recipe-name matching and a JSON mode for programmatic responses. Paprika cloud sync must be enabled and credentials provided for access.

When to use it

Looking up a recipe by name or partial name
Extracting only ingredients for shopping or meal prep
Checking the meal plan for a specific date
Viewing current grocery items to buy or sync with shopping
Searching for recipes by ingredient or keyword

Best practices

Enable Paprika cloud sync on your devices for reliable access
Provide exact or partial recipe names to narrow results quickly
Use --json mode when integrating with other tools or automation
Request ingredients-only when you need a shopping list without steps
Specify a date for meal queries to avoid broad result lists

Example use cases

User asks: 'What recipes do I have for dinner?' — lists recipes filtered by Dinner category
User asks: 'Show me the pasta carbonara recipe' — returns full recipe details
User asks: 'What ingredients do I need for lasagna?' — returns ingredients-only output
User asks: 'What's on the meal plan for 2026-01-08?' — lists meals for that date
User asks: 'What's on my grocery list?' — shows unpurchased grocery items

FAQ

Do I need to sign in to Paprika?

Yes. The skill requires Paprika cloud sync and your Paprika credentials or an authenticated session to access data.

Can I integrate results into other apps?

Yes. Use the JSON mode to get structured output suitable for automation or importing into other tools.
