New to this? What's a prompt?

A prompt is the message you send to the AI tool. Copy the one on this page, put your own details where it asks, and read the answer before you act on it.

Prompt

Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote one from what it describes. The result shown is the source's, not ours.

What the prompt labels mean

The person didn't share their exact words, so we wrote this from what they described. We haven't tested it, and they didn't use this exact version.

Help me vibe-code a private family meal planner for one household. It should ask a few weekly questions, build dinners from our recipes and preferences, generate a grocery list, email a prep schedule, and stay on our home network. Keep the scope to our family only—not a product.

Try this in:

ChatGPT Gemini Grok Claude

Sends the Recreated prompt shown above. ChatGPT and Grok open with it filled in, and ChatGPT may send it straight away. Gemini and Claude open empty, so we copy the prompt for you to paste. Every button also copies it.

The source used Claude Code, which can take actions on your computer or in a browser. These are general chat tools, so results may differ, and a normal chat may only give you a plan.

Opens in a new tab. We don't see what you send.

These links are only a shortcut. We're not affiliated with OpenAI, Google, Anthropic or xAI, and your results may not match the source.

Optional stronger version

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Build a single-household meal planner that emails a weekly plan and grocery list.

Questions to ask me first:
- What recipes and preferences should be baked in?
- How should we access it on the home network?
- What should the Sunday email include?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Recipes/prefs: [FILES]
- Access: [LAN URL]
- Email: [ADDRESS]

Rules:
- One household only; no multi-tenant product scope.
- Ask short weekly questions before planning.
- Include prep schedule in the email.

Checkpoint: Show the data model and Sunday flow before coding UI.

If you get stuck: If email sending is blocked, write a downloadable plan file instead.

Verify before you finish: A dry-run produces a plan, list, and prep schedule for our prefs.

Output: Working LAN app plus sample Sunday email.

Done when: Sunday planning no longer needs a 45-minute fridge argument.

Claude Code

Outcome

Jared Hebb and spouse used to spend about 45 minutes every Sunday arguing in front of the fridge about the week’s dinners, often ending in takeout. Over a weekend, Hebb built a household-only app with Claude Code that asks a few questions, builds the week’s plan, writes the grocery list, and emails a prep schedule. The Sunday headache is described as gone, not merely smaller.

Evidence: Described by posterThe person describes what happened in words, without screenshots or video.
