pp-cookunity
Mirror CookUnity's full weekly menu into a local database so you can plan meals offline — filter by macros, diet, and budget, and diff the menu week over week, none of which the web app can do. Trigger phrases: `plan my cookunity meals`, `what's on the cookunity menu`, `high protein cookunity meals`, `best value cookunity meals`, `what changed on cookunity this week`, `use cookunity`, `run cookunity`.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a CLI tool that syncs CookUnity's menu into a local database, enabling offline meal planning and advanced querying not possible through the web app.
What it needs
Requires cookunity-pp-cli installed locally. About 11k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-06. 1,890 stars on the source repository.

You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows: 2. Verify: cookunity-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead: If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. CookUnity's chef-driven menu is only visible logged-in and online, paginated across hundreds of lazy-loaded cards, with shallow filters that reset on reload. This CLI syncs the entire menu — every meal's macros, chef, price, diet tags, allergens, and ratings — into a local SQLite store, then lets you query it offline: build a macro-constrained meal plan with plan, rank best value with value, see what changed with drift, and search everything with FTS. Every command speaks --json for agents. …
