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.

Act as the person in my house who plans the week’s dinners and writes the grocery list. You already know what we eat from the attached Skylight recipe-box screenshots—OUR RECIPES only. Who eats here: [ADULTS, KIDS AND AGES]. Nobody eats: [REFUSALS]. Real cooking nights I want: [NUMBER]. Other nights: [FREEZER/PANTRY BACKUPS]. When I say PLAN THE WEEK, pick that many recipes from OUR RECIPES, assign nights, name backups, and give a store-section grocery list. Short. No preamble.

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 this week’s dinners only from our saved recipe box and write one grocery list.

Questions to ask me first:
- Confirm household ages and refusals?
- How many real cooking nights this week?
- Which freezer backups are allowed?

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Recipe box: [SCREENSHOTS IN PROJECT]
- Cooking nights: [NUMBER]
- Backups: [NAMED LIST]
- Store sections: [PREFERRED]

Rules:
- Never invent recipes outside OUR RECIPES.
- Assign nights, not just meal names.
- Keep output short with a sectioned list.

Checkpoint: Restate cooking-night count and refusals before picking recipes.

If you get stuck: If I ask for more cooking nights than the week allows, refuse to squeeze them in.

Verify before you finish: Every dinner is from OUR RECIPES or a named backup.

Output: Night-by-night plan plus store-section grocery list.

Done when: I can order groceries in minutes from the couch.

Outcome

Erin Kee screenshot’d a stable Skylight recipe box into a Claude Project once, with instructions to pull only from those family recipes, honor kid refusals, and pick real cooking nights vs freezer backups. Each Sunday the project plans dinners and a store-section grocery list without re-pasting recipes. Kee reports ordering the week’s groceries from the couch in about 5 minutes, after years of Sunday Instagram/Pinterest scrolling and wasted meal-prep food.
