recipe-use

recipe-use is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Snowflake-Labs/cocoplus. It costs 46 tokens per session (815 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that fills in a reusable CocoRecipe workflow with values supplied by the developer. It checks the completed workflow against CocoFlow's required structure and saves it as a project pipeline.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select a recipe, answer its required parameters, substitute those values, validate the result, and create .cocoplus/flow.json.
Why use it?
It removes the need to edit workflow files by hand and catches missing or incorrectly formatted inputs before use.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

recipe-use scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Your objective is to generate a CocoFlow pipeline from a named recipe template.

Pre-flight Check

Check that .cocoplus/ exists. If not: Output: "CocoPlus not initialized in this directory. Run $pod init to begin." Then stop.

Locate Recipe Template

Look for <name>.json.template in:

  1. ~/.coco/plugins/cocoplus/recipes/<name>.json.template
  2. .cocoplus/recipes/<name>.json.template (project-local)

If not found in either location, output: "Recipe '' not found. Run $recipe list to see available recipes." Then stop.

Read Parameters

Read the __recipe_meta block from the template to identify required parameters, optional parameters, and their descriptions.

Collect Parameter Values

For each required parameter not already supplied via --params key=value:

  • Ask the developer interactively with a clear prompt showing the parameter name and description
  • Wait for response before proceeding to the next missing parameter

Validate all collected values:

  • Non-empty for required parameters
  • Snowflake identifier format where specified (alphanumeric + underscores, no spaces)

If any validation fails, explain the format requirement and re-prompt (do not abort).

Check for Existing flow.json

If .cocoplus/flow.json already exists: Output: "A flow.json already exists for this project. Overwrite it with the recipe pipeline? (y/n)" Wait for confirmation. If declined, stop.

Generate Pipeline

Replace all {{parameter_name}} slots in the template with supplied values.

Remove the __recipe_meta block from the output.

Validate the resulting JSON against the CocoFlow schema (check that nodes array exists and each node has id, label, type, agent fields). If validation fails, output the specific schema violations and do not write.

Write to flow.json

Write the validated JSON to .cocoplus/flow.json.

Output

Generated: <name> pipeline (<N> stages)
Parameters used:
  <param1>   = <value1>
  <param2>   = <value2>

Pipeline stages:
  1. <stage-id>   (<agent>, <model>)
  2. <stage-id>   (<agent>, <model>) [plan gate]
  ...

Written to .cocoplus/flow.json
Next: Run $plan to review and approve before executing.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
