add-recipe

**Recipe Formatter & Adder**: Takes a recipe from any source (URL, photo, description, cookbook reference) and creates a properly formatted, nutrition-calculated recipe file in the knowledge base. Also creates any missing component files for ingredients. Use this skill whenever the user wants to add a new recipe, save a recipe they found, format a recipe for the database, log a meal they cooked, create a recipe from ingredients, or build out their recipe collection. Also trigger when the user shares a recipe link, photo of a recipe, or describes a meal they want to add. Trigger for "add recipe", "save this recipe", "I made X tonight and want to save it", "format this recipe", "new recipe", or when the user shares food-related URLs or images.
