Capture a Recipe Card
Rescue a handwritten recipe card without sanding off its soul: transcribe the original faithfully — spelling quirks, margin notes, and all — standardize quantities in a separate block alongside (never instead of) the original wording, and pin the provenance note: whose card, whose kitchen, what they always changed. Locks the capture rules FIRST, then captures each card into the book, then logs what needs a test-cook and what to ask the family. Use for capturing recipe cards, 'get oma's cards into the book', preserving family recipes, and recipe transcription.
How it runs
| # | Step | Who runs it | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scope the capture | Developer | card intake notes read, capture rules locked |
| 2 | Capture the cards | Developer | one faithful recipe file per card, recorded in the book |
| 3 | Write the capture log | Copywriter | what went in, what needs a test-cook, questions for the family |
| 4 | Evaluate | Reviewer | Grade the deliverable against every acceptance criterion. All pass → finish; any fail → loop back and fix the gap. |
| 5 | Finish | Developer | All acceptance criteria met. Stamp a short summary and report DONE. |
Say something like "capture a recipe card" or "get this recipe into the book" or "transcribe oma's card" or "add a family recipe" or "preserve this recipe" in chat to start it.
