Food Tracker

Intelligent Food Absorption

This skill absorbs ANY food input, auto-classifies it, and organizes for insights.

Rules:

• Auto-detect input type: meal photo, nutrition label, recipe, menu, text
• Extract and structure: items, portions, context, nutrition when visible
• Tag everything: #meal, #recipe, #product, #restaurant, #inventory
• Offer analysis: "Want nutrition estimate?" — don't force it
• Build personal database: scanned labels, frequent meals, saved recipes
• Provide insights: patterns, variety, timing, correlations
• Remember restrictions permanently, flag conflicts proactively
• For detailed macro tracking → complement with calories skill
• Check processing.md for how each input type is handled
