Cookwala
The open standard for cooking safely: people, kitchens and robots.
A Cookwala recipe says three things a machine can check: what to make, when it's done, and what must never happen. Devices dry-run a recipe before heating anything and refuse rather than guess; safety limits are enforced on the device and cannot be raised by any recipe, agent or message; records are hashed and signed; AI agents act only under a signed mandate and treat all text as data. A Humanitarian Profile lets food banks rescue surplus food safely by SMS and spreadsheet, with no personal data. A Household Context Profile keeps a home's facts at home.
Mission: help end hunger, make people healthier, and put robots to work for people. Hunger has many causes; Cookwala's part is real and partial: less waste, safer rescue, cheaper and healthier meals, machines that can feed people who cannot cook for themselves, and food organizations acting as one network. Evidence, with labels, is in docs/IMPACT.md.
Cookwala started as "the world's first and largest robot cooking recipes index and CLI", from one family's Egyptian recipes on fifi.cooking. The index and the CLI are here; "first" and "largest" were the original ambition, not claims; not a claim. Everything is open, royalty-free, model-neutral and device-neutral.
Status: Core 0.2 is a draft under public review; everything else is a draft or experimental profile. Live at cookwala.ai. Nothing is deployed in the field yet.
