Recipes – A Pattern for Common Code Transformations

I did a thing. A very silly, very meta thing. I vibe-coded a CLI tool that summarizes YouTube videos, recorded myself making the tool, and then used the tool to summarize the video of me making the tool.

But the real star of the show isn't the tool, or the video, it's the Recipe Pattern – a way to encapsulate repetitive coding work into a one-off, reusable doc.
