CookCLI
Command-line tools for the Cooklang recipe format
CookCLI is the official command-line toolchain for Cooklang, a plain-text recipe markup format designed to be easy to write, diff, and store in Git. It parses Cooklang files and helps turn them into practical outputs such as rendered recipes and shopping lists.
Key Features
- Parses Cooklang recipe files (a lightweight, plain-text recipe markup)
- Exports/prints recipes into user-friendly outputs (for reading/sharing)
- Generates shopping lists from one or more recipes
- Ingredient scaling/multipliers for adjusting servings
- Designed to fit into developer-friendly workflows (files on disk, easy to version)
- Extensible CLI-style usage suited for scripting and automation
Use Cases
- Keep a personal recipe collection as text files and render them on demand
- Generate a consolidated shopping list for weekly meal prep from multiple recipes
- Store and review recipe changes over time using Git diffs and pull requests
CookCLI is a good fit if you want a minimal, text-first recipe workflow with reproducible outputs via the terminal. It pairs naturally with any editor and file-based sync/backup approach, while producing practical artifacts for cooking and grocery planning.
