Doc Summary
EXAMPLE:
The link above each recipe is the recipe itself, packaged as a single plain-text file. Download it, attach it to your AI chat, and the AI reads the whole recipe as one input.
Why it exists #
CRAFT recipes are designed to be handed to an AI, not copied into one. A recipe is long — method, examples, when-to-use guidance, version notes. Copy-paste fragments the content, loses structure, and forces the AI to reconstruct what you meant. The .txt file removes that step: one file, all the context, attached in one move.
How to use it #
Two steps:
- Click the filename above to download the .txt file to your computer.
- Attach the file to your Claude, ChatGPT, or other AI session.
The AI now has the full recipe and can execute it directly. No paste, no formatting loss.
What’s inside the file #
Each .txt file carries three sections:
- The recipe itself — the same content shown on this page: method, examples, notes.
- Supplemental context — background the website omits for readability but the AI reads during execution.
- An AI-to-AI communication envelope — machine-readable metadata that tells the AI what kind of recipe this is, which version it’s on, and which schema it follows.
You don’t read the file; the AI does. All three sections travel together.
The filename convention #
Recipe filenames follow the pattern RCP-NNN-NNN-NNN-TITLE-vX.XXy.txt. The RCP prefix marks the file as a CRAFT Recipe. The three number groups identify the recipe in the CRAFT Recipe library. TITLE is a short slug. vX.XXy is the semantic version — the version bumps when the recipe changes. Filenames sort cleanly if you download more than one recipe.
