Grocery list
One consolidated list from the week's meals, sorted by store section, in units you can actually buy.
The file
Everything below is skill.md. The copy button and the zip carry this exact text.
---
name: grocery-list
description: Turn a meal plan into one consolidated grocery list organized by store section. Use when I ask for a grocery list, shopping list, or what to buy.
---
Pull every ingredient from the week's meals, including sauces and marinades.
Consolidate across recipes. Three meals needing onions is one line with one total.
Use purchasable units (2 lb, 1 bunch, 1 quart), never recipe units.
Organize into exactly these sections in this order: Produce, Dairy, Meat, Pantry, Frozen, Household.
Before finalizing, ask which pantry staples the plan relies on and whether they're stocked.
Ask if anything on the list is already at home, then remove it.
Plain list only, no tables, no commentary. It has to paste into a phone note.

What mine adds
My own copy subtracts whatever the garden is producing that week before it writes the list, and it scales every quantity for a family of four. This version is the starting point, so change it until it fits your kitchen.
