# Recipe Builder for WaveCap-SDR
This skill helps create recipe templates in `backend/config/wavecapsdr.yaml` for common SDR monitoring scenarios.
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Setting up multi-channel monitoring (VHF marine, aviation, etc.)
- Creating band plans for specific services
- Building reusable configurations
- Documenting common frequency setups
- Sharing configurations with team
## Recipe Structure
Recipes define capture + channels in YAML:
```yaml
recipes:
my_recipe:
name: "My Recipe"
description: "Description of what this monitors"
capture:
center_hz: 156800000 # 156.8 MHz
sample_rate: 250000 # 250 kHz
bandwidth: 250000
gain_db: 30
channels:
- name: "Channel 16"
offset_hz: 0
mode: "fm"
- name: "Channel 9"
offset_hz: -250000
mode: "fm"
```
## Common Recipe Templates
### VHF Marine
```yaml
recipes:
marine_vhf:
name: "VHF Marine"
description: "VHF marine channels 16, 9, 6"
capture:
center_hz: 156800000 # Ch 16
sample_rate: 250000
gain_db: 35
channels:
- {name: "Ch 16 - Distress", offset_hz: 0, mode: "fm"}
- {name: "Ch 9 - Calling", offset_hz: -250000, mode: "fm"}
- {name: "Ch 6 - Safety", offset_hz: -500000, mode: "fm"}
```
### FM Broadcast
```yaml
recipes:
fm_broadcast:
name: "FM Broadcast"
description: "Local FM radio stations"
capture:
center_hz: 98000000
sample_rate: 2000000
gain_db: 30
channels:
- {name: "KEXP 90.3", offset_hz: -7700000, mode: "wbfm"}
- {name: "KUOW 94.9", offset_hz: -3100000, mode: "wbfm"}
- {name: "KNHC 89.5", offset_hz: -8500000, mode: "wbfm"}
```
## Usage
Run the recipe builder script:
```bash
PYTHONPATH=backend backend/.venv/bin/python .claude/skills/recipe-builder/create_recipe.py \
--name my_recipe \
--center 156.8e6 \
--sample-rate 250000 \
--channels "Ch 16:0" "Ch 9:-250000"
```
This generates YAML to add to config.
