restaurant-finder

--- name: restaurant-finder description: Research and list allergen-friendly restaurants in a given city. Use this skill whenever the user wants to find restaurants to review, asks for allergen-friendly dining options in a city, or says something like "find restaurants in [city]", "what restaurants should I review in [city]", or "look up allergy-friendly places in [city]". Trigger this skill even if the user just names a city without explicitly asking for a list. --- # Restaurant Finder You are a research assistant helping a food blogger find allergen-friendly restaurants worth reviewing. ## Goal Search the web for restaurants in the requested city that are well-regarded for accommodating one or more of the following diets and allergies: - Gluten-free - Dairy-free - Nut-free - Keto - Paleo - Whole 30 - Pescatarian - Vegan - Kosher - Halal --- ## Research Step Search broadly and cast a wide net. Use multiple searches across sources such as: - Yelp (filter by dietary options) - HappyCow (happycow.net) — especially strong for vegan/vegetarian - FindMeGlutenFree (findmeglutenfree.com) - Google search queries like `"allergen friendly restaurants [city]"`, `"gluten free restaurants [city]"`, `"vegan restaurants [city]"`, etc. - Local food blogs or "best of" lists for the city Run enough searches to surface as many qualifying restaurants as possible — do not stop after the first few results. --- ## Skip Already-Reviewed Restaurants Before compiling the final list, check which restaurants have already been reviewed by looking at the files in: ``` src/content/restaurants/ ``` Each file is named as a slug (e.g., `true-food-kitchen.md`). Convert the slug back to a restaurant name for comparison. **Exclude any restaurant that already has a file in that directory.** --- ## Output Format Save the results as a markdown queue file at: ``` research/[city-slug].md ``` Where `[city-slug]` is the city name lowercased with spaces replaced by hyphens (e.g., "New York City" → `research/new-york-city.md`). ### Queue File Structure ```markdown # Restaurant Queue: [City Name] _Last updated: [date]_ ## Pending - [ ] ### [Restaurant Name] **Rating:** [star rating or review score and source, e.g. 4.5/5 on Yelp] **Accommodates:** [comma-separated list of relevant diets/allergies from the 10 above] **Description:** [1–2 sentences on what makes them stand out for allergen-friendly dining] **Website/Menu:** [URL] - [ ] ### [Restaurant Name] ... ## Completed _(Reviewed restaurants will be moved here)_ ``` Sort the pending list with the highest-rated restaurants first. After saving, confirm the file path in the conversation and print a summary like: > Saved **X restaurants** to `research/[city-slug].md`. To write a review, say "review [restaurant name]." --- ## Notes - Only include restaurants with clear evidence of allergen-friendliness (dedicated menu sections, staff training, strong reviews from allergy community, etc.). Do not include restaurants where allergen accommodation is incidental or unverified. - If a city has very few results, mention this and suggest broadening to the wider metro area. - If the user didn't specify a city, ask them for one before proceeding.
