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/<recipe-name>.json.

Step 3 — Run the Script

python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/paprika-recipe-importer/scripts/build_paprikarecipes.py 
  /tmp/<recipe-name>.json 
  /tmp/<recipe-name>.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.
