Give your recipe a next button for messy hands

Read as Markdown

Replace the [brackets] with your details, then paste this into your assistant.

Build a small kitchen step player for this recipe that I own or may adapt: [recipe and source]. I will use [phone or tablet, browser] at [preferred text size]. My hands may be wet or covered in flour, so make the next step easy to reach. Create new private files and preserve the original recipe.

First read the complete recipe you can access and identify its ingredients, amounts, units, ordered steps and relevant notes. Preserve its stated temperatures, durations, warnings and completion cues. Ask about missing or contradictory instructions that would change the result. Do not fill gaps from another recipe, invent cooking guidance or silently scale quantities.

Make an ingredient-to-step map with source references. Keep the recipe's total quantities separate from amounts explicitly assigned to a step. If an ingredient is used twice but the recipe does not say how to divide it, flag that for my confirmation; do not display the full quantity as a new amount to add each time. Keep the original ingredient list and full recipe one tap away from the step view. Let me approve unresolved interpretations before treating them as instructions.

Build a compact browser page with one step at a time, large next and back buttons, keyboard controls, adjustable readable text and a visible step number. Show only the ingredients relevant to that step, with assigned quantities when the source states them. Include a way to review earlier steps and deliberately reset. Save the current position locally only when supported, and make a resumed session obvious. Advancing the display records where I am in the instructions; it does not verify that I performed the step or that food is cooked. A timer, if I request one, must preserve the recipe's completion cues and cannot replace them.

Make manual controls work first. If I request voice commands, check the intended browser's current support and how its speech recognition processes audio. Explain whether audio leaves the device. Start listening only after my explicit permission and visible start action; provide a clear listening indicator and stop control. Do not enable cloud speech processing or introduce an external audio service without my approval. If processing cannot be established or voice is unreliable, leave it off and keep the manual player useful. Limit commands to next, back and repeating the current instruction; an unclear command must not skip ahead. Do not enable the camera.

Check first and last steps, next/back navigation, ingredient totals versus step amounts, reset and resume, readable layout on my intended screen, and any enabled voice behavior. If keeping the screen awake is supported, test it and explain any limitation. Test a disconnected reload before claiming offline use; otherwise say that offline availability is unverified. Do not claim a device test you could not perform.

Return the player, editable source, ingredient-to-step map, opening instructions and a short test record separating observed results from checks I still need to do. Do not publish the recipe, upload it to a new service, install software or create an account without my approval.
