Turn Recipe Pages into Dataflow Diagrams with Claude Skills
anderssandberg · x · 2026-07-30
Anders Sandberg shared a Claude Skill project that converts recipe web pages into condensed graphical diagrams. Ingredients are listed on the left, operations merge rightward, and the finished dish ends up in the rightmost column.
The architecture demonstrates a hybrid LLM-code approach: Claude handles the fuzzy parts like reading the page, extracting recipe schemas, and parsing free-text instructions into a dataflow DAG. A deterministic Python script then handles the exact parts, including tree layout, rowspan/colspan arithmetic, and PERT-style critical-path timing. The interface between them is a lightweight JSON format.
