Cookidoo / tmx-cli Skill

Manage Cookidoo® (Thermomix) meal plans, recipes, and shopping lists using tmx-cli — a pure-Python CLI bundled in this skill at {baseDir}/tmx_cli.py.

Setup

•Python 3.9+ required (no external dependencies)
•Login: python3 {baseDir}/tmx_cli.py login (OAuth flow with Cookidoo account)
•Setup (optional): python3 {baseDir}/tmx_cli.py setup — configure TM version, diet preferences, max cooking time

Critical Rules

•Confirm before destructive actions (shopping clear, plan remove).
•Use --json when parsing output programmatically.
•Respect user preferences — setup config auto-applies to searches.
