Let agents generate recipe links for a viewer
They taught an agent how to build keep.recipes links from a recipe so the page opens with that recipe already loaded.
- What they did
- They set up keep.recipes so the recipe lives inside the URL. To make that usable, they wrote a skill file and companion instructions that show an agent how to construct the link correctly. The agent assembles the address itself, so it does not need extra uploads or tools.
- How it went
- They say it works well, even in constrained agents like ChatGPT web. They did not give any counts or describe any bad outcomes.
- Tips
- Give the URL rules in a simple, step-by-step format and include one clear example. If you plan to copy this approach, review keep.recipes for the current skill file and documentation first.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
I run a recipe viewer at [viewer URL], and the recipe data must be encoded in the URL using the rules in [docs or file]. Create a skill file that teaches an AI agent how to transform [recipe text or source] into a valid viewer link, and include one worked example of the conversion. Then test it with [number] recipes and show the links it produces. Before any action that would send, submit, publish, delete, or pay for something, stop and ask me to confirm.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
