Requirements
How To Start
STEP 1: Trigger the Recipe
- Start your first CRAFT recipe experience by telling Julia(or any AI assistant) what simple task you would like helpwith. Use natural language – no special syntax required forbeginners!Example: "I'd like to run my first CRAFT recipe. Can you help me write a thank you note?"Or simply say what you need: "Help me brainstorm dinner ideas" "Explain what AI is in simple terms" "Write a short email to my colleague"
STEP 2: Confirm Your Task
- The recipe will display your task and ask you to confirm itis correct. This teaches you about "parameters" – theinformation you provide to customize what a recipe does.Simply reply "yes" to continue, or clarify if you want tochange your task.
STEP 3: Watch the Magic Happen
- The AI will complete your task, showing you the structuredoutput that recipes produce. Notice how the response followsa clear format – this consistency is a key benefit of usingrecipes!
STEP 4: Celebrate Your Success!
- Congratulations! You have just completed your first CRAFTrecipe. You have now experienced:– Running a recipe by name– Providing a parameter (your task)– Receiving structured output
STEP 5: Learn What Happened
- Review the learning summary to understand the core CRAFTconcepts you just used:– Recipe: A reusable template for getting AI help– Parameter: Information you provide to customize output– Execution: When a recipe runs and produces results
STEP 6: Choose Your Next Adventure
- Now that you have completed your first recipe, you can:– Try Simple Task Helper (RCP-BEG-002) for general help– Try Writing Assistant Lite (RCP-BEG-003) for writing– Try Question Answerer (RCP-BEG-004) to learn things– Or simply tell the AI what you need next!

Recipe FAQ
Q: Do I have to use exactly those example tasks?
A: No! Any simple task works. The examples are just ideas
to get you started. Use whatever you actually need help
with – that makes the learning more meaningful. Q: What if I make a mistake?
A: There are no mistakes in learning! If your task did not
come out right, just try again or ask me to help you
adjust it. That is part of learning how recipes work. Q: Why is this called a “recipe”?
A: Just like a cooking recipe gives you steps to make a
dish, a CRAFT recipe gives the AI steps to complete a
task. You provide the “ingredients” (your parameters),
and the recipe handles the rest! Q: What happens after I complete this recipe?
A: You are ready to try other recipes! The Simple Task
Helper (RCP-BEG-002) is a great next step – it handles
almost anything you need help with. ———————————————————– TIPS FOR SUCCESS: – Keep your first task simple – complexity can wait!
– Read the celebration message – you earned it!
– Notice the structure – all recipes follow similar
patterns
– Try different tasks to see how parameters change output ———————————————————– EDUCATIONAL NOTES: This recipe includes extra explanation for learning. As you
get comfortable with CRAFT, recipes become faster.
