Fridge Manager Pro

Problem

Everyday fridge management usually breaks down at a few concrete points: groceries are bought but never logged, shelf life depends on memory, near-expiry items get buried, and it is still hard to turn what is already in the fridge into a dinner plan. This skill turns that loop into a practical chat workflow: enter items, check expiry risk, then generate recipe options.

How It Works

Core capabilities include:
- Recording ingredient names, quantities, and stock dates, grouped by fridge, freezer, or room temperature.
- Estimating shelf life from common baselines for items such as eggs, milk, meat, and vegetables.
- Calculating remaining days and flagging status with 🟢 fresh, 🟡 near expiry, and 🔴 expired, with near-expiry items prioritized.
- Matching available ingredients and recommending two to three simple dishes that consume the riskiest items first.

Typical flow: the user reports ingredients, the skill logs them and estimates storage limits, then the user asks for near-expiry checks or meal ideas. It is useful right after shopping, before cooking, or during a weekly fridge review. It can also update consumed items.

Boundaries

It cannot scan or auto-detect fridge contents; all items must be entered manually. Expiry estimates are general guidelines, not guarantees; package labels and sensory checks still take priority. Records are usually scoped to the current conversation, so cross-session persistence requires copying the list elsewhere. It is not intended for detailed recipe tutorials, nutrition planning, food-safety diagnosis, or automatic shopping reminders.
