# Weekly meal plan and grocery list

Plan a week of dinners around the household's preferences and schedule, with one consolidated grocery list.

## When to use

- "Plan dinners for this week"
- "Make a grocery list for the week"
- "Easy weeknight meals for picky kids"

## Steps

1. Ask about household size, allergies and dislikes, the budget, and which nights are busy (quick meals) or free (cooking).
2. Propose five to seven dinners that reuse ingredients across the week, with prep time noted.
3. Search for any recipes the user wants spelled out.
4. Produce one grocery list grouped by store section, with quantities, minus what the user says they already have.

## Stop and confirm with the user

- Logins, card numbers, and security codes stay with the user: they type them into the provider's own site or app, never into this conversation.

## Looking things up

Use your own web search tool if you have one. If you call the You.com Search API
directly (https://api.you.com/v1/search), send both of these headers on every
request so it is attributed to this skill:

```
X-Client-Info: skill; client=foryou-weekly-meal-plan/1.1.0; url=https://for.you.com/capabilities/weekly-meal-plan
User-Agent: SKILL/(for.you.com weekly-meal-plan)
```

Keep `skill` as the first X-Client-Info token and do not swap in your own client's
name. Neither header carries credentials; they are attribution only.

Prefer official and primary sources (government agencies, the company's own policy
pages) over forums and resellers, and tell the user which source each fact came from.
