+ Zwei Kernprobleme werden adressiert: (1) Warnungen zeigen aktuell Wochentag-Kürzel ("MON, WED") + statt Rezeptnamen — rein frontend-seitig lösbar über weekPlan.slots-Mapping. + (2) Es gibt keine Swap-Aktion direkt aus den Warnungen heraus. Das Protein-Score-Problem + für vegetarische Haushalte ist ein Backend-Thema und separat zu behandeln. +

+ +
+

Protein-Score: Vegetarische Haushalte — Backend TBD

+

+ Die aktuelle Formel proteinDiversity = 10 − repeats × 2 bestraft vegetarische + Proteinquellen (Tofu, Linsen, Ei) stärker als in omnivoren Haushalten üblich. + Frontend-seitig ändert sich das Label "Protein-Vielfalt" ggf. zu "Quellen-Vielfalt" sobald + das Backend die Score-Gewichtung anpasst. Bis dahin: keine Änderung an ScoreBreakdownList. +

Recipe app · Eight core journeys · Planner & household member roles

+ Roles: planner · household member +
+
+ + +
+
All journeys at a glance
+

The app serves two user roles. The planner (you) has full access — adding recipes, building the weekly plan, generating the shopping list, and managing the household. The household member (your partner, other household members) has read-only access to the plan and collaborative access to the shopping list. Journeys J7 and J8 cover post-onboarding household management: adding or removing members and keeping the pantry staples configuration current. J9 covers tuning the variety score algorithm to match the household's dietary context (e.g. disabling meat-centric protein penalties for a vegetarian household).

Open libraryPlanner taps Recipes in nav or the + button anywhere in the app.B1Entry from nav or from the planner (C1) when a day has no meal assigned.
Add recipe formPlanner enters recipe name, serves count, and adds ingredients one by one with name and quantity.B3B3 is a single form used for both add and edit states. Form is prefilled when editing.
Add cooking stepsPlanner adds numbered steps in free text. Steps are used in cook mode (B4).B3Steps are optional at save time — a recipe without steps can still be planned and cooked from ingredient list only.
Tag the recipePlanner selects tags: effort level (easy / medium / hard), child-friendly (yes/no), primary protein or category (chicken, fish, vegetarian, pasta, etc.).B3Tags are used by the suggestion engine in J2 to avoid repetition. Minimum: effort + one category tag required to save.
SaveRecipe is saved and appears in the library (B1). Planner is returned to B1 or to wherever they came from.B1If entered from a day slot in the planner, the recipe is optionally offered for that day immediately after saving.
+
+
+
Design notes
+
    +
  • B3 and B4 (add and edit recipe) share one form component — the only difference is the initial state (empty vs prefilled).
    • +
  • Tags drive intelligent suggestions. The more recipes are tagged, the better the variety algorithm performs.
    • +
  • Recipes from memory or physical cookbooks are the primary source — the app makes no assumptions about digital import.

Journey 2

StepWhat happensScreenNotes
Open plannerPlanner opens the app. The weekly planner is the default home screen showing the current week with any already-planned meals.C1Today's slot is always highlighted in yellow. Empty slots show a dashed + prompt.
Get suggestionsPlanner taps an empty day slot or the suggestions button. The app shows recipes filtered to avoid ingredients used in the past 3 days and the same protein as adjacent days.C2Suggestions also balance effort — if the previous two days were hard meals, easy meals are surfaced first.
Fill day slotsPlanner picks a suggestion or manually selects a recipe from the library for each day.C1Saturday is optional — some weeks have no planned meal on Saturday. Empty slots are valid.
Review variety scoreThe variety score (0–10) updates live as meals are added. It reflects ingredient overlap across the week. Warnings surface for specific repeated ingredients.C3 C1Score is visible at all times on C1 (variety banner on mobile/tablet, sidebar widget on desktop). C3 shows the full breakdown.
Swap a meal (optional)If the variety score is low or a specific warning appears, the planner swaps one meal for an alternative suggestion.C2Swap uses the same suggestion engine as the initial fill. Swapping updates the score immediately.
Confirm the weekPlanner confirms the plan. The week is locked and visible (read-only) to household members. This also triggers the option to generate a shopping list (J5).C1Confirming does not prevent future edits — the planner can still swap meals mid-week via J4.
+
+
+
Design notes
+
    +
  • The variety score is the central metric of the app — it must be visible throughout this entire journey without extra navigation.
    • +
  • The suggestion filter considers: ingredients used in the last 3 days, same-protein consecutive days, and effort balance. Recipe tags (from J1) power all three filters.
    • +
  • Household members can see the confirmed plan as read-only immediately after confirmation.

Check todayPlanner opens the app. Today's slot is highlighted in yellow on the planner. The meal name is visible without any tap.C1The today highlight is the most important element on C1. It must be visible on first render with zero interaction.
Open recipePlanner taps the today slot. The recipe detail screen shows the full ingredient list and step count.B2B2 shows ingredients scaled to the saved serving count. No serving adjustment is required in this journey.
Enter cook modePlanner taps "Cook now". The screen switches to full-screen cook mode with one step visible at a time in large, readable text. Screen stays awake.B4B4 is designed for kitchen use: 16px body text, 1.75 line height, single step per screen, tap-anywhere to advance. Screen wake lock is requested.
Mark as cookedOn the final step, the planner taps "Done". The meal is logged to cooking history with today's date.B4 → C1The cooking log is the data source for the variety algorithm. Meals cooked more recently are weighted more heavily in the repetition filter.
+
+
+
Design notes
+
    +
  • Cook mode (B4) is a high-stakes screen — the user is standing at a stove with wet hands. It must be operable with one tap and no fine motor precision required.
    • +
  • Screen wake lock prevents the phone from sleeping during cooking. This should be requested on entering B4 and released on exit.
    • +
  • The "mark as cooked" action is the feedback loop that makes J2 smarter over time. It should feel lightweight, not like admin work.

Design notes

    +
  • Speed is critical in this journey — the user is making a decision under time pressure. The swap flow should never exceed 3 taps from the moment "Swap" is tapped to the plan being updated.
    • +
  • Alternatives are sorted by effort (easiest first) because mid-week swaps typically happen because the original plan was too ambitious for that day.
    • +
  • The variety score updates immediately after confirmation, giving the planner instant feedback on whether the swap improved or worsened the week's balance.

  • Only the planner can generate the list. All household members can view, check off, add, and remove items. The list is always live — no approval or publishing step.
    • +
  • Checked items stay checked for everyone — this prevents double-buying when multiple family members are shopping simultaneously or at different times.
    • +
  • The smart filter (D3) is configured once during onboarding (J6, step A3) and can be updated at any time from settings. The planner's staples list grows over time.

Design notes
+
    +
  • J7 is the post-onboarding continuation of the J6 invite step — same A4 acceptance mechanism, different entry point (E2 not A2). The invite component is re-used.
    • +
  • Pending invites must show a clear expiry state. Expired invites should be re-generatable with one tap — the planner should not need to go through the full invite flow again.
    • +
  • Removing a member is a destructive, irreversible action. Require an explicit confirmation ("Zugang für [Name] wirklich entziehen?") to prevent accidental removal.
    • +
  • Household members can view E2 in read-only mode — they see who is in the household but cannot invite or remove anyone.
    • +
  • The planner cannot remove themselves — the Planner role must always have at least one person. Household role transfer is out of scope for v1.

Edit pantry staples

The planner's pantry changes over time — a new dietary preference, a bulk buy, or a noticed pattern on the shopping list triggers a staple update. This journey lets the planner keep their "always on hand" list accurate so generated shopping lists stay useful.

StepWhat happensScreenNotes
Open settingsPlanner navigates to the Settings page (E1) from the settings nav. The settings hub provides access to profile information and pantry staples configuration.E1E1 is the entry hub for settings-area screens. The Staples section is the most common destination from here and should be prominently placed.
Open staples managerPlanner taps the Staples section. The same StaplesManager component from onboarding (A3) renders in settings context — no sidebar, no "Weiter" navigation, just the ingredient category list.D3D3 = A3. One component, two render contexts (onboarding and settings). Context is passed as a prop — no duplicate component needed.
Browse and togglePlanner browses ingredient categories. Checked items are staples and will be excluded from shopping lists. Unchecked items will appear on the next generated list. Changes are saved automatically on each toggle — no save button required.D3Auto-save on toggle is required. The planner must never lose a change because they forgot to tap a save button mid-browsing.
Changes appliedThe updated staple configuration is persisted immediately. The next time a shopping list is generated (J5), the new staple set is used to filter out always-on-hand ingredients.—Changes do not retroactively update an already-generated shopping list. If the current list should reflect the change, the planner must regenerate it via J5.
+
+
+
Design notes
+
    +
  • D3 and A3 are the same component with two render contexts. The onboarding context includes the progress sidebar and navigation footer. The settings context renders the staples list standalone — no onboarding chrome.
    • +
  • Trigger for this journey: the planner notices an item on their shopping list they always have at home, or a missing item they now always keep stocked. This is a fast corrective action — optimise for speed, not discoverability.
    • +
  • No confirmation required for staple toggles — they are low-stakes and instantly reversible. Auto-save on change is the correct pattern.
    • +
  • Consider a direct "Vorräte bearbeiten" shortcut link on the shopping list page (D1) — the most common trigger for this journey is noticing a wrong staple while looking at the list.

Journey 9
+
Configure variety score
+
The variety algorithm ships with defaults designed for omnivore households — protein-type tags penalise consecutive repeats and ingredient overlaps reduce the score. A vegetarian or vegan household will find these defaults unfair: tofu, eggs, and legumes repeat because there are simply fewer protein sources available. This journey lets the planner tune the algorithm to their household's dietary reality without any score gaming.

StepWhat happensScreenNotes
Open settingsPlanner navigates to Settings (E1). The settings hub now shows a third card: "Vielfalt-Einstellungen". Current score is shown as a stat number on the card so the planner knows what they are about to tune.E1Planner role only. Household members cannot see the Vielfalt-Einstellungen card. The card is added to the E1 settings hub grid alongside Vorräte and Haushalt cards.
Open variety settingsPlanner taps the card. Screen E4 shows the full algorithm config: which tag types trigger repeat warnings (default: Protein, Küche) and the penalty weights for each violation type.E4E4 shows the current household config. If no custom config has been saved, defaults are displayed: Protein ✓, Küche ✓; all weights at "Mittel". A "Zurücksetzen auf Standard" link is always visible.
Toggle tag type checksPlanner toggles "Protein" off. For a vegetarian household, removing the protein check means tofu, eggs, and legumes appearing on consecutive days no longer reduces the variety score. The change auto-saves immediately.E4Each tag type in the household's recipe library can be checked or unchecked. Only types that actually appear in tagged recipes are listed — empty types are hidden. At least one type must remain checked; the toggle is disabled if it would leave zero checked types.
Adjust penalty weights (optional)Planner uses segmented controls (Niedrig / Mittel / Hoch) to tune how severely each violation type reduces the score. For example, reducing ingredient overlap weight to "Niedrig" for households that cook mostly single-ingredient dishes.E4Four weights are tunable: Tag-Wiederholung (default Mittel = 1.5 pts), Zutaten-Überschneidung (default Niedrig = 0.3 pts), Letzte Wochen (default Mittel = 1.0 pts), Doppelte Rezepte (default Hoch = 2.0 pts). Changes auto-save on interaction — no save button.
Review updated scorePlanner navigates back to the variety review page (C3). The score and all warning cards now reflect the updated config. Warnings for the disabled tag type no longer appear.C3The variety score shown on C1 (the planner home screen) also updates the next time the plan is loaded or a recipe is swapped. No full page reload is required on C3 — the server recalculates using the persisted config on each request.
Reset to defaults (optional exit)If the planner wants to undo all changes, they tap "Zurücksetzen auf Standard" at the bottom of E4. A confirmation prompt names the specific values that will be reset. On confirm, the household config is deleted and the system defaults are restored.E4Reset is a destructive action — it deletes the household's custom VarietyScoreConfig row. Confirmation dialog is required. Unlike most auto-save interactions, this one needs an explicit confirm because it discards all customisations at once.
+
+
+
Design notes
+
    +
  • The protein check is the primary motivation for this journey. Default it to OFF for households whose recipe library contains only vegetarian/vegan protein tags — consider detecting this automatically on first variety score load and surfacing a one-tap "Protein-Prüfung deaktivieren?" nudge on C3.
    • +
  • Penalty weights use three presets (Niedrig / Mittel / Hoch) rather than numeric sliders. Planners should not need to understand the backend scoring formula. Presets translate to fixed multipliers: Niedrig = ×0.5 of default, Mittel = ×1.0, Hoch = ×1.5.
    • +
  • Auto-save on every toggle/segmented-control change follows the same pattern as D3 staples. No save button. The "Zurücksetzen auf Standard" action is the only one that requires a confirmation step.
    • +
  • E4 is a settings screen, not a planning tool — it lives under E1, not under C3. The planner should access it deliberately, not accidentally while checking their variety score. However, C3 should surface a "Einstellungen anpassen →" link when the score has been consistently low for 3+ consecutive weeks.
    • +
  • Backend: config is stored per household in VarietyScoreConfig. PATCH /v1/households/mine/variety-config updates the config; DELETE resets to defaults. The variety score endpoint already reads from VarietyScoreConfig per request — no further backend work needed to make tuned configs take effect.

Machine-readable spec — User journeys

+

This section is the authoritative journey reference for all agentic LLM tasks. Use it to understand which pages are involved in each journey, who performs each step, and what the key constraints are before building any screen or component.

+ + 
/* Journey rules for agents
+ * 1.  Two roles exist: PLANNER (full access) and HOUSEHOLD_MEMBER (limited access).
+ * 2.  PLANNER can access: all screens (A1–E4).
+ * 3.  HOUSEHOLD_MEMBER can access: C1 (read-only) and D1 (view + check off + add items).
+ * 4.  The variety score must be visible on C1 at all times — it is not a secondary feature.
+ * 5.  J1 and J2 are preconditions for J5 — a shopping list requires planned meals with tagged recipes.
+ * 6.  J6 is a precondition for J5 shared list — household members must be invited before the list is shared.
+ * 7.  J3 "mark as cooked" feeds variety history which filters J2 suggestions. This feedback loop is critical.
+ * 8.  J4 swap must complete in ≤ 3 taps from "Swap" to updated plan.
+ * 9.  A3 and D3 are the same component (staples) — design and build once, reference from two entry points.
+ * 10. B3 and B4 (add + edit recipe) are the same form — build once with two initial states (empty vs prefilled).
+ * 11. The shopping list (D1) is real-time shared — checked items update for ALL household members instantly.
+ * 12. CalDAV export is future scope (E3) — do not build in v1.
+ * 13. Child accounts are future scope — do not design for in v1.
+ * 14. J7 is the post-setup continuation of J6 invite step — same A4 acceptance mechanism, different entry point (E2 not A2). The invite component is shared.
+ * 15. J8 entry is E1 (settings hub) → D3 (staples). D3 = A3: same component, settings context prop removes onboarding chrome (sidebar + nav footer).
+ * 16. Staple changes (J8) do not retroactively update an already-generated shopping list — planner must regenerate via J5 if the current list should reflect the change.
+ * 17. PLANNER cannot remove themselves from the household. Household role transfer is future scope, not v1.
+ * 18. J9 variety config is per-household and persisted in VarietyScoreConfig. Auto-save on toggle/weight change; reset-to-defaults requires a confirmation dialog. HOUSEHOLD_MEMBER cannot access E4.
+ * 19. J9 "Protein" tag-type toggle is the primary use case. Vegetarian households should disable it so tofu/eggs/legumes are not penalised for consecutive-day repetition.
+ * 20. E4 weight presets map to: Niedrig = ×0.5, Mittel = ×1.0 (default), Hoch = ×1.5 of the backend default weight.
