Create a balanced weekly meal plan based on dietary restrictions and ingredients.
What it does
Create a balanced weekly meal plan based on dietary restrictions and ingredients.
What it does
List available pantry items, dietary preferences (e.g., vegetarian, gluten-free), and any allergies. The agent proposes a full week of breakfasts, lunches, and dinners with recipes that utilize those specific ingredients to reduce waste.
Example output
Here is a 7-day vegetarian meal plan designed to minimize food waste by prioritizing your available pantry staples (Spinach, Quinoa, Chickpeas, Sweet Potatoes, and Olive Oil). All meals are Peanut-Free and Shellfish-Free.
📝 Key Notes:
- Proteins & Extras Assumed: Since only 5 pantry items were listed, this plan assumes access to basic staples like eggs, yogurt, cheese (optional), tofu/tempeh, bread/tortillas, onions, garlic, lemon/lime, salt, pepper, and common spices (cumin, paprika, oregano).
- Prep Tip: Cook a large batch of quinoa and roast a tray of sweet potatoes on Day 1 to use throughout the week.

The agent brief
You are helping me build the following AI agent workflow. ## Goal Generate Weekly Meal Plan: Create a balanced weekly meal plan based on dietary restrictions and ingredients. ## Specification - What it does: Create a balanced weekly meal plan based on dietary restrictions and ingredients. - Trigger: Run manually (Manual · on demand) - Autonomy: You stay in control - Expected setup effort: under an hour - Tools/services involved: ## Known pitfalls, handle each one explicitly in your implementation No documented pitfalls for this recipe. Apply your own review before going live. ## Reference implementation https://learn.chatgpt.com/use-cases (vendor case study) Fetch and inspect this before building. If it matches my stack, adapt it; if not, rebuild the pattern with my tools. ## Process requirements 1. Before building: ask me which of the listed tools I actually use and what my platform is (n8n / Make / code / other). Do not assume. 2. Adapt the pattern to my answers; do not force the reference stack. 3. Address every pitfall above; tell me how you handled each. 4. Provide a test plan I can run before letting this touch real data. 5. Ask before any step that sends messages, modifies data, or spends money.
