Files

SKILL.md — the skill (rules, shop logic, 7-day history removal flow).
references/ — email template, protein sources, Eastbourne shop ratios, meal-history logger spec, protein-target notes.
inventory.json — LIVE DATA (your current stock). Git-ignored; a inventory.example.json is committed as a template.
meal-history.json — LIVE DATA (rolling 7-day meal log). Git-ignored.

Setup

Copy the skill into your Hermes skills dir:
```
cp -r meal-suggestion ~/.hermes/skills/
```

Create inventory.json from the example:

cp ~/.hermes/skills/meal-suggestion/inventory.example.json \
   ~/.hermes/skills/meal-suggestion/inventory.json

Ensure the email sender exists at ~/.hermes/.env:

EMAIL_ADDRESS=hpm6@txt3.com
EMAIL_PASSWORD="your-app-password"
EMAIL_SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
EMAIL_SMTP_PORT=587

Place the send helper: scripts/meal/send_meal_email.py (reads creds from ~/.hermes/.env, supports --subject --html --text --to).
Create the two cron jobs (Hermes cronjob tool):
- Daily 09:00: 0 9 * * * — load skill meal-suggestion, read inventory, build 2 meals, email to jp@txt3.com, record into meal-history.json.
- Monday 08:00: 0 8 * * 1 — load skill meal-suggestion, build £30 Lidl list + comparison, email to jp@txt3.com.

See SKILL.md for the full behavior spec and the removal-from-history flow.
