Bring! Recipe Browser CLI

Name: Bring Recipes
Author: darkdevelopers

Overview

CLI for browsing Bring! recipe inspirations. Browse-only tool - the Bring! Inspirations API does not provide ingredient lists.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

User wants to discover Bring! recipes
Browsing recipe inspirations
Viewing recipe metadata (names, authors, types, images, links)
Filtering recipes by tags (all, mine)
Need JSON output of recipes for scripting

Don't use when:

User wants to add ingredients to shopping list (API limitation)
Managing shopping lists directly
Need full recipe details with ingredients

Quick Reference

Command	Purpose
`bring-recipes list`	Browse recipe inspirations (default)
`bring-recipes filters`	Show available filter tags
`bring-recipes list --filter mine`	Show your personal recipes
`bring-recipes list --json`	JSON output for scripting

Environment variables:

export BRING_EMAIL="[email protected]"
export BRING_PASSWORD="yourpassword"

Installation

cd skills/bring-recipes
npm install

Common Workflows

Browse all recipes:

node index.js list --limit 10

Filter your recipes:

node index.js list --filter mine

Get JSON for scripting:

node index.js list --json | jq -r '.[] | .content.name'

Check available filters:

node index.js filters

Flags Reference

Flag	Description
`-f, --filter \x3Ctags>`	Filter tags: all, mine
`--limit \x3Cn>`	Max recipes (default: 10)
`--json`	JSON output
`--no-color`	Disable colors
`-q, --quiet`	Minimal output
`-v, --verbose`	Debug output

API Limitations

⚠️ Critical: The Bring! getInspirations() API returns only metadata:

✅ Recipe names, authors, types
✅ Images, links, tags, like counts
❌ Ingredient lists (not provided)

This is a Bring! API limitation, not a CLI bug. The CLI is designed for browsing and discovering recipes only.

Recipe Types

TEMPLATE - Bring! templates (e.g., "Sunday Brunch")
RECIPE - Parsed recipes from partners
POST - Promotional content

Common Mistakes

Expecting ingredients: The API does not provide ingredient lists. Use the CLI for discovery, then manually add items.

Looking for seasonal filters: The API has no seasonal tags. Only "all" and "mine" filters are available.

Assuming all recipes have names: POST types may be "Untitled Recipe" - this is normal API behavior.

Implementation Notes

Uses node-bring-api v2.0.2+ with getInspirations() API
Requires Node.js 18.0.0+
No seasonal filtering (API limitation)
Browse-only functionality
JSON mode available for automation

Real-World Use

Recipe discovery: Browse what's available in Bring!
Inspiration browsing: See trending recipes and templates
Personal collection: Filter your saved recipes
Integration: JSON output for external tools

Usage Guidance

Do not run npm install or export your Bring! credentials for this skill until the publisher clarifies and provides the missing code or an official source. Specific checks to request/do: 1) Ask the publisher for the package repository or a packaged bundle (package.json, index.js) and verify its contents before executing anything. 2) Confirm that BRING_EMAIL/BRING_PASSWORD are actually required and whether a scoped API token (read-only) is available instead of your account password. 3) If you must test, run in an isolated environment (container or VM) and inspect all installed npm packages, especially node-bring-api and its dependencies. 4) Prefer skills whose registry metadata lists required env vars and install steps consistently with their SKILL.md. The current mismatches (instructions require code and credentials that are not present/declared) are a red flag — treat this package as incomplete or potentially mispackaged until proven otherwise.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: bring-recipes Version: 0.1.0 The provided `SKILL.md` and `_meta.json` files describe a CLI tool for browsing recipes from the Bring! app. The `SKILL.md` clearly outlines the skill's purpose, usage, and limitations. It includes standard installation instructions (`npm install`) and mentions the use of environment variables for authentication (`BRING_EMAIL`, `BRING_PASSWORD`), which are necessary for interacting with an authenticated API. There is no evidence of prompt injection against the agent, data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or obfuscation within the provided documentation. The described behaviors are aligned with the stated purpose, and any potentially risky capabilities (like `npm install` or handling credentials) are plausibly needed for the skill's functionality.

Capability Assessment

⚠ Purpose & Capability

The described purpose (browse Bring! recipe inspirations) reasonably explains needing account credentials for 'mine' filtering and a Node-based CLI; however the registry metadata declares no required env vars or binaries while SKILL.md explicitly asks for BRING_EMAIL and BRING_PASSWORD and Node.js 18+. That mismatch (credentials and Node requirement present only in SKILL.md) is unexpected and incoherent.

⚠ Instruction Scope

The SKILL.md tells the agent/user to run npm install in skills/bring-recipes and to run node index.js commands, and it documents environment variables. But the skill bundle contains no code files (no index.js or package.json). Instructions therefore refer to files/operations that are not present in the package; following them would cause the agent/user to fetch or execute code outside the provided bundle, which expands the trust boundary.

⚠ Install Mechanism

There is no declared install spec in the registry, yet SKILL.md instructs running npm install and depends on node-bring-api v2.0.2+. Because the package bundle doesn't include code, these instructions implicitly require pulling packages from npm at runtime. Running npm install without a vetted source or packaged code increases risk (unexpected third-party code execution).

⚠ Credentials

The CLI needs account credentials (BRING_EMAIL and BRING_PASSWORD) for personal-recipe access — this is plausible and proportional to the stated feature. However, the manifest declares no required env vars (and no primary credential), so the need for credentials is not advertised in metadata. Also storing a password in an environment variable is a sensitive choice; the skill should document alternatives (tokens) and clearly declare required secrets in the registry.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not always-enabled and does not request persistent system-wide privileges. It is user-invocable and permits autonomous invocation (platform default), which is normal and not by itself alarming.
