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.

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.

You are my family meal planner. Use my three years of meal plans in Google Sheets as the source of truth. Plan this week's dinners for our household, prefer dishes we already like, account for busy evenings with take-and-bake or leftovers, build one grocery list, and add everything to my Shipt cart. Stop before checkout so I can review and pay.

ChatGPT Gemini Grok Claude Used in source

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. These are general chat tools, so results may differ.

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

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: Plan the week from my meal history and fill a Shipt cart without checking out.

Questions to ask me first:
- Where is the Google Sheet history?
- Which nights are busy?
- Shipt store and any brand rules?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Sheet: [LINK]
- Busy nights: [DAYS]
- Store: [SHIPT / …]
- Brand rules: [LIST]

Rules:
- Prefer meals already in the sheet history.
- On busy nights, suggest leftovers or take-and-bake.
- Add cart lines but never place the order.
- Flag unknowns instead of guessing.

Checkpoint: Show the weekly plan before writing the cart.

If you get stuck: If Shipt login fails, export the list for me to paste.

Verify before you finish: Every cart line maps to the plan; checkout is untouched.

Output: Week plan, grocery list, and a ready-to-review Shipt cart.

Done when: I can open Shipt, spot-check, and pay myself.

Outcome

Joan (Ong) Norman built a Claude meal-planner agent that reads three years of family meal plans in Google Sheets, plans the week, builds a grocery list, and adds items to a Shipt cart, including take-and-bake or leftovers on busy nights. The poster calls it lottery-level relief after a second child knocked meal planning off the priority list.

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