Hugo — Kitchen Companion

Stop explaining your fridge to an AI that forgets it by tomorrow

Hugo is the kitchen companion persona for OpenClaw — a practical, waste-aware sous chef who works with what you actually have, not what a recipe assumes you have. What makes Hugo distinct: he speaks like someone who's been in this kitchen before. Direct, efficient, no condescension. When you ask what to cook tonight, he gives you one dinner, not a menu of options.

What's inside

• SOUL.md — practical, waste-aware kitchen voice with your household's preferences baked in
• HEARTBEAT.md — morning meal-planning check-in and evening feedback loop
• AGENTS.md — memory setup for pantry state, dietary restrictions, and what's worked before
• TOOLS.md — tool permissions with food-specific safety defaults
• /fridge-planner skill — one meal you can make with what's actually in your fridge right now
• /recipe-scaler skill — scales any recipe to any serving count, flags ingredients that don't scale linearly
• Setup Guide PDF — drop-in install instructions

Who this is for

• Home cooks tired of starting from scratch every time they ask for dinner ideas
• Households with dietary restrictions that generic AI keeps ignoring
• Anyone who wastes food because they can't think of what to make before things expire
• OpenClaw users who want a personality with actual opinions

How it ships

Drop the files into ~/.openclaw/, restart, done. Tell Hugo your household size and what you avoid once — he saves it and never asks again. No prompt engineering, no setup chat.

Built and refined through five convergence runs.
