POiO

A chicken recipe assistant that is turning into a countertop bird.

Year: 2026
Made for: Claude skill, hardware in progress
State: in progress

I love chicken enough to build software about it.

POiO is three markdown files and an assistant with opinions. One file lists what is in my kitchen, one lists what is growing near me this month, one is a flavor cheat sheet. It reads all three and tells me what to cook tonight. The protein is always chicken. Take that away and it starts offering me risotto.

Today it runs as a Claude skill. The version I actually want is a small chicken-shaped thing on the counter with an e-paper screen, walking me through tonight’s recipe one step at a time and clucking when I fall behind. The hardware spec, the bill of materials and the licensing are all in the repo, so anyone can build one without me.

It has been tested in exactly one kitchen by exactly one cook. Treat it as a sketch.

How to use it

Clone it into your Claude skills folder and ask it what to cook tonight.

Put the repo somewhere permanent and link it into your skills directory.

Terminal

git clone https://github.com/JaimeOrtegaxyz/POiO.git \
  ~/Documents/GitHub/poio
ln -s ~/Documents/GitHub/poio ~/.claude/skills/poio

Start a session anywhere and invoke it.
Terminal
```
/poio
```

Edit the three markdown files in the repo — pantry, season, flavours — so it cooks out of your kitchen instead of mine. The countertop bird is a hardware spec in the same repo, not something you can buy.

The e-paper screen mid-recipe, mocked at real size.

While building it

4 July 2026Worked today on mockups for the interface. We had some older web demos but tbh that doesn't make sense anymore. I'd rather prototype something that looks/works closer to what the final device will be.

8 June 2026Decided to put down some raw ideas here, if anything just to keep track of my thoughts around this. Saw Google announcing that Coral thing just the other day.
