# Instagram Recipe Extractor

Extract recipes from Instagram reels using a multi-layered approach:
1. **Caption parsing** — Instant, check description first
2. **Audio transcription** — Whisper (local, no API key)
3. **Frame analysis** — Vision model for on-screen text

No Instagram login required. Works on public reels.

## When to Use

- User sends an Instagram reel link
- User mentions "recipe from Instagram" or "save this reel"
- User wants to extract recipe details from a video post

## How It Works (MANDATORY FLOW)

**ALWAYS follow this complete flow — do not stop after caption if instructions are missing:**

1. User sends Instagram reel URL
2. Extract metadata using yt-dlp (`--dump-json`)
3. Parse the caption for recipe details
4. **Check completeness:** Does caption have BOTH ingredients AND instructions?
   - ✅ **YES:** Present the recipe
   - ❌ **NO (missing instructions or incomplete):** **Automatically proceed to audio transcription** — do NOT stop or ask the user
5. If audio transcription needed:
   - Download video: `yt-dlp -o "/tmp/reel.mp4" "URL"`
   - Extract audio: `ffmpeg -y -i /tmp/reel.mp4 -vn -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 16000 -ac 1 /tmp/reel.wav`
   - Transcribe: `whisper /tmp/reel.wav --model base --output_format txt --out
