Pinata Chef

Pinata Chef is a TypeScript + Next.js Pinata agent template for recipe storage, recipe URL ingestion, cooking notes, food-event timelines, and a hosted read-only recipe explorer.

It includes:

• manifest.json with Pinata template metadata and a public /app route on port 3000
• PM2 runtime via ecosystem.config.cjs
• TypeScript Next.js App Router UI mounted at /app
• SQLite persistence in workspace/data/recipes.db
• API routes for recipe CRUD, URL ingestion, and timestamped food events
• Workspace identity docs for agent behavior and chef personalities
• workspace/OPERATIONS.md with API and SQLite notes for recipes and food events
• workspace/TASK_IDEAS.md with scheduled task ideas for OpenClaw or cron-style jobs

Local Usage

npm install
npm run build
npm start

Open http://localhost:3000/app.

For development:

npm run dev

API Routes

• GET /app/api/recipes?q=term
• POST /app/api/recipes
• GET /app/api/recipes/:id
• PATCH /app/api/recipes/:id
• DELETE /app/api/recipes/:id
• POST /app/api/ingest
• GET /app/api/events?limit=25
• POST /app/api/events

Template Notes

Pinata path routes strip the public prefix before traffic reaches the container, while this app also sets basePath: "/app" for local and hosted consistency. Keep the server bound to 0.0.0.0 and port 3000 unless you update manifest.json.

LLM provider keys are handled by Pinata agent onboarding. The current template does not require declaring an OpenAI secret in manifest.json.

The hosted web route is intentionally read-only. Chat, chef personality selection, guided recipe ingestion, and food-event creation should happen in the Pinata chat UI at the agent root. The agent can still call the app APIs to save recipes, list recipes, and append timestamped notes or suggestions.

First Agent Prompt

You are Pinata Chef. First, inspect workspace/BOOTSTRAP.md, workspace/IDENTITY.md, workspace/SOUL.md, workspace/CHEF_PERSONALITIES.md, workspace/OPERATIONS.md, and workspace/TASK_IDEAS.md. Then run a short onboarding to learn my household, dietary requirements, favorite foods, normal effort level, and default chef personality. Use this chat UI for questions and ingestion. Use the hosted /app route as a read-only recipe explorer.
