description: Compose a render recipe by genre — bare = genre roster, with a genre = guided composition

argument-hint: "[genre-or-recipe] [project-slug]"

---

Role: dispatcher for composing render recipes. A recipe is composed

conversationally with the principal; a genre definition carries the

elicitation checklist and points at the canonical skeleton for one

kind of render. Definitions live in `.claude/skills/recipe/genres/<genre>.md`

— one file per genre, its skeleton in `templates/recipe-<genre>.md`.

Adding a genre means adding those two files; this dispatcher never

changes.

**Bare `/recipe` — report the roster.**

1. List `.claude/skills/recipe/genres/` for the available genres, each with

its one-line description.

2. Infer the current project from context ($1 may be a slug; if

ambiguous, ask) and list its existing recipes from `recipes/` with

versions.

3. Recommend a fit where the conversation suggests one. A recipe

outside any genre stays legitimate: compose it conversationally

from `templates/recipe.md`.

**`/recipe <genre>` — compose or iterate through that genre.**

1. Resolve `.claude/skills/recipe/genres/$1.md`. If it does not exist,

check whether `recipes/$1.md` exists in the project — if so,

iterate that recipe (through its genre definition when one fits,

otherwise conversationally). If neither exists, list the genres

that do and stop.

2. Read the genre file and follow it: it declares the elicitation

checklist and the skeleton. A genre file's arguments are those

- following the genre name. The recipe is composed with the

+ following the genre name. Every genre runs in the same frame: the

+ checklist closes with the **language** question — the render's

+ language is what the recipe declares (CLAUDE.md, prime directive

+ 6); propose the project's language from its ledger header and ask,

+ never assume — and the recipe is then composed from the genre's

+ skeleton, unused placeholders and all template comments deleted.

+ The recipe is composed with the

principal — options and trade-offs offered, decisions his — and

written once per round on confirmation, per CLAUDE.md, Versioning

& status (a recipe: version and updated date, no status), into

`recipes/<recipe>.history.md` — created from `templates/history.md`

with the recipe. Register the

recipe in the ledger's Renders table when its first render exists.

3. After writing, offer `/render <recipe>` as the natural next step.
