Routine
Scans for issues and fixes them: parses ingredients, syncs with Mealie, tags recipes, rebuilds search. Run after importing recipes or if search seems off.
Checks for problems without making changes. Shows unparsed recipes and sync status. Run to diagnose issues before taking action.
Cleanup (deletes data)
Deletes duplicates (names ending in (1), (2)) and invalid recipes (missing ingredients or instructions). Run after bulk imports that created duplicates.
Deletes ALL meal plans and shopping lists. Recipes are kept. Run to start fresh with meal planning.
Rebuilds semantic and text search indexes from scratch. Only run if search returns wrong results or errors.
Clears cached meal history used to avoid repeating recent meals. Run if suggestions seem stuck on old patterns.
Corrects kitchen tools (blender, pan) incorrectly imported as food ingredients. Run if shopping lists include equipment.
Shows detailed diagnostic for one recipe: tags, parsing status, index status. Use to troubleshoot a specific recipe.

Local requires GPU/Apple Silicon. OpenRouter needs only an API key.
Uses LLM to confirm images are food (slower but more accurate)
DB mode is ~500x faster but requires Docker volume mount to mealie-data
