recipe-fetch

recipe-fetch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from trtmn/agent-plugins. It costs 124 tokens per session (1,523 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

A tool that fetches recipes from web addresses and saves them as formatted Markdown notes in an Obsidian cookbook vault. Obsidian is a note-taking app that stores notes as files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add one or more online recipes to an Obsidian cookbook, including their formatted notes and recipe images.
Why use it?
It avoids manually copying recipe details into the right note and image locations. It uses structured recipe data from the page when available.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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-fetch scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/extract_jsonld.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Recipe Fetch Skill

Fetch a recipe from one or more URLs and save to the Obsidian vault as correctly formatted markdown.

Vault Paths

  • Vault root: ~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/<VaultName>
  • Recipe files: Recipes/<Recipe Title>.md
  • Recipe images: Files/recipes/<kebab-case-title>.jpg
  • Vault-relative image ref: Files/recipes/<kebab-case-title>.jpg

Handling Multiple URLs

When the user provides more than one URL, dispatch a separate background agent per URL in the same turn. Each agent runs this skill independently and saves its recipe. This lets all fetches happen simultaneously rather than one at a time.

Per-Recipe Workflow

1. Extract recipe data (JSON-LD first, WebFetch fallback)

Primary method — JSON-LD structured data (preferred):

Most recipe sites embed machine-readable recipe data in <script type="application/ld+json"> blocks. This is the most reliable extraction method because it returns verbatim structured data with no AI summarization risk.

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/recipe-fetch/scripts/extract_jsonld.py" "<URL>"

If exit code is 0, the script outputs a JSON object with name, ingredients, instructions, image, and og_image. Use these fields directly — they are verbatim from the site's own structured data.

If exit code is 1 (no JSON-LD found), fall back to the WebFetch method below.

Fallback method — WebFetch:

Only use this when JSON-LD extraction fails (exit code 1). Use WebFetch to get the full page. In a single pass, extract:

  • Recipe title
  • All ingredients (verbatim, every line)
  • All instructions (verbatim, every step)
  • The og:image URL (used to download the recipe photo)

If the page has multiple recipe components (e.g., cake + frosting, meatballs + sauce), fetch ALL of them. Use explicit language: "Extract ALL recipes on this page including [component A] AND [component B]."

2. Check for existing file

Before writing anything:

test -f "~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/<VaultName>/Recipes/<Recipe Title>.md"

If the file exists, read it and stop — report the conflict to the user and ask whether to overwrite, merge, or skip.

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.
