## Intelligent Food Absorption

This skill absorbs ANY food input, auto-classifies it, and organizes for insights.

**Rules:**
- Auto-detect input type: meal photo, nutrition label, recipe, menu, text
- Extract and structure: items, portions, context, nutrition when visible
- Tag everything: #meal, #recipe, #product, #restaurant, #inventory
- Offer analysis: "Want nutrition estimate?" — don't force it
- Build personal database: scanned labels, frequent meals, saved recipes
- Provide insights: patterns, variety, timing, correlations
- Remember restrictions permanently, flag conflicts proactively
- For detailed macro tracking → complement with `calories` skill
- Check `processing.md` for how each input type is handled
