# Implementation Outcome: Remove Step Number Prefixes
**Outcome Name:** RemoveStepNumberPrefixes
**Implemented:** 2025-12-21
**Developer:** @dev (Developer Agent)
**Plan:** [docs/plans/RemoveStepNumberPrefixes.md](../plans/RemoveStepNumberPrefixes.md)
**Branch:** `feat/remove-step-number-prefixes`
**Commit:** `3a2d531`
---
## Summary
**Successfully implemented** removal of step number prefixes from recipe extraction prompts, eliminating double-numbering bug where steps appeared as "1. 1. Step text" in the UI.
### What Changed
- **LLM Prompts:** Updated to produce clean step text without "1. ", "2. " prefixes
- **Frontend:** Already correctly uses `<ol class="list-decimal">` for auto-numbering (no changes needed)
- **Tandoor:** Uses array index for step numbers, not text parsing (no changes needed)
- **Tests:** All 34 tests passing with no modifications required
---
## Implementation Details
### Story 1: Update Main LLM Extraction Prompt ✅
**File:** [src/lib/server/prompts/recipe-extraction.ts](../../src/lib/server/prompts/recipe-extraction.ts)
**Changes Made:**
1. **Version Update**
- Updated from v2.0 to v2.1
- Added changelog entry: "Removed step number prefixes (now handled by frontend <ol>)"
2. **Removed Numbering Instruction**
- **Before:** `- Number all steps sequentially starting with "1."`
- **After:** *(removed)*
3. **Updated OUTPUT FORMAT Example**
- **Before:**
```json
"steps": [
"1. Primo passaggio dettagliato",
"2. Secondo passaggio dettagliato"
]
```
- **After:**
```json
"steps": [
"Primo passaggio dettagliato",
"Secondo passaggio dettagliato"
]
```
4. **Updated Example 1: Clean Recipe**
- Removed "1. ", "2. ", etc. from all 6 steps
- **Before:** `"1. Preriscaldare il forno a 190°C"`
- **After:** `"Preriscaldare il forno a 190°C"`
5. **Updated Example 2: Social Media Post**
- Removed "1. ", "2. ", etc. from all 5 steps
- **Before:** `"1. Tritare il salmone affumicato"`
- **After:** `"Tritare il salmone affumicato"`
6. **Updated Quality Checklist**
- **Before:** `- [ ] All steps numbered sequentially`
- **After:** *(removed)*
### Story 2: Update Fallback Parser Prompt ✅
**File:** [src/lib/server/parser.ts](../../src/lib/server/parser.ts)
**Changes Made:**
1. **Updated `parseRecipeWithStandardCompletion` System Prompt**
- **Before:** `"steps": ["1. First step", "2. Second step", ...]`
- **After:** `"steps": ["First step", "Second step", ...]`
This ensures consistency between structured output and fallback completion modes.
### Story 3: Verify Frontend and Tandoor Integration ✅
**No Code Changes Required** - Verification Only
#### Frontend Verification
**File:** [src/routes/share/components/RecipeCard.svelte](../../src/routes/share/components/RecipeCard.svelte)
```svelte
<ol class="list-decimal pl-5 text-sm">
{#each recipe.steps as step}
<li>{step}</li>
{/each}
</ol>
```
✅ **Confirmed:** Uses `<ol class="list-decimal">` which automatically numbers steps with CSS
✅ **Result:** Steps will now display as "1. Step text" instead of "1. 1. Step text"
#### Tandoor Integration Verification
**File:** [src/lib/server/tandoor.ts](../../src/lib/server/tandoor.ts)
```typescript
const steps: TandoorRecipeDTO['steps'] = (recipe.steps || []).map((instruction, index) => {
return {
instruction,
order: index, // Step number from array index
ingredients: mappedIngredients
};
});
```
✅ **Confirmed:** Step numbering comes from `order: index`, not from parsing instruction text
✅ **Result:** Tandoor import will continue to work correctly with clean step text
### Story 4: Run Test Suite ✅
**Command:** `npm test`
**Results:**
```
Test Files 5 passed (5)
Tests 34 passed (34)
Duration 1.71s
```
✅ **All tests passing**
✅ **No test modifications required**
✅ **No regressions detected**
Test files verified:

# Execution Plan: Remove Step Number Prefixes from Recipe Parsing
**Outcome Name:** RemoveStepNumberPrefixes
**Created:** 2025-12-21
**Analyst:** Vi (Analyst Agent)
---
## Problem Statement
The current recipe parsing system instructs the LLM to number all steps sequentially (e.g., "1. First step", "2. Second step"). However, the frontend displays steps using an HTML ordered list (`<ol class="list-decimal">`), which automatically adds numbering. This creates **redundant double-numbering** in the UI:
```
1. 1. Preriscaldare il forno a 190°C
2. 2. Mescolare farina e bicarbonato di sodio
3. 3. Montare burro e zucchero a crema
```
The LLM should provide clean step text without number prefixes, allowing the frontend to handle numbering presentation.
---
## Current State Analysis
### Affected Components
1. **LLM Prompt System** ([src/lib/server/prompts/recipe-extraction.ts](../../../src/lib/server/prompts/recipe-extraction.ts))
- `RECIPE_EXTRACTION_PROMPT` explicitly instructs: "Number all steps sequentially starting with '1.'"
- Few-shot examples show numbered steps
- Quality checklist validates numbered steps
2. **Fallback Parser** ([src/lib/server/parser.ts](../../../src/lib/server/parser.ts))
- `parseRecipeWithStandardCompletion()` system prompt includes: `"steps": ["1. First step", "2. Second step", ...]`
- Used when structured output fails
3. **Frontend Display** ([src/routes/share/components/RecipeCard.svelte](../../../src/routes/share/components/RecipeCard.svelte))
- Uses `<ol class="list-decimal">` which auto-numbers list items
- No changes needed - already correct
4. **Tandoor Integration** ([src/lib/server/tandoor.ts](../../../src/lib/server/tandoor.ts))
- Maps steps to `{ instruction, order: index, ingredients: [...] }`
- Step number derived from array index, not instruction text
- No changes needed
### Root Cause
The LLM prompt was designed before the frontend was refactored to use Svelte 5 with proper semantic HTML (`<ol>`). The prompt instructions were never updated to reflect that numbering is now a presentation concern, not a data concern.
---
## Desired State
### LLM Output (After)
```json
{
"steps": [
"Preriscaldare il forno a 190°C",
"Mescolare farina e bicarbonato di sodio",
"Montare burro e zucchero a crema",
"Aggiungere le uova",
"Incorporare le gocce di cioccolato",
"Cuocere per 10 minuti"
]
}
```
### Frontend Rendering
```html
<ol class="list-decimal pl-5 text-sm">
<li>Preriscaldare il forno a 190°C</li>
<li>Mescolare farina e bicarbonato di sodio</li>
<li>Montare burro e zucchero a crema</li>
<li>Aggiungere le uova</li>
<li>Incorporare le gocce di cioccolato</li>
<li>Cuocere per 10 minuti</li>
</ol>
```
**Result:** Clean, single numbering (1., 2., 3., etc.) without redundancy.
---
## Architecture Alignment
This change aligns with **Hexagonal Architecture** principles:
- **Separation of Concerns:** Data extraction (core domain) is separated from presentation logic (UI adapter)
- **Domain Purity:** The LLM extracts semantic content (steps), not formatted text
- **Adapter Independence:** Frontend can change numbering style (decimal, roman, etc.) without touching the core
---

3. **LLM Response Check:** Inspect raw LLM JSON to confirm clean steps
---
### Story 2: Update Fallback Parser Prompt
**As a** system architect
**I want** the fallback parser to produce consistent step format
**So that** both structured and standard completions behave identically
#### Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] `parseRecipeWithStandardCompletion()` system prompt updated to remove step numbering instruction
- [ ] Fallback parser produces steps without number prefixes
- [ ] Behavior matches main parser
#### Technical Specification
**File:** [src/lib/server/parser.ts](../../../src/lib/server/parser.ts)
**Changes Required:**
1. **Update System Prompt** (Lines ~143-150)
- **Before:**
```typescript
content: `You are a recipe extractor. Return ONLY valid JSON matching this schema:
{
"name": "recipe name in Italian",
"servings": number or null,
"description": "description in Italian or null",
"ingredients": [{"item": "ingredient name", "amount": "quantity", "unit": "SI unit"}],
"steps": ["1. First step", "2. Second step", ...]
}
```
- **After:**
```typescript
content: `You are a recipe extractor. Return ONLY valid JSON matching this schema:
{
"name": "recipe name in Italian",
"servings": number or null,
"description": "description in Italian or null",
"ingredients": [{"item": "ingredient name", "amount": "quantity", "unit": "SI unit"}],
"steps": ["First step", "Second step", ...]
}
```
#### Testing Strategy
1. **Force Fallback:** Temporarily break `beta.chat.completions.parse()` to trigger fallback
2. **Verify Output:** Check that fallback produces clean steps
3. **Integration Test:** Ensure recipe extraction works end-to-end with fallback
---
### Story 3: Verify Frontend and Tandoor Integration
**As a** QA engineer
**I want** to confirm existing components work correctly with clean step data
**So that** no regressions are introduced
#### Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] RecipeCard displays steps with single numbering (1., 2., 3.)
- [ ] Tandoor import successfully creates recipe with correct step numbering
- [ ] No visual regressions in step display
#### Technical Specification
**Files to Verify (No Changes Needed):**
1. **[src/routes/share/components/RecipeCard.svelte](../../../src/routes/share/components/RecipeCard.svelte)** (Lines 40-45)
```svelte
<ol class="list-decimal pl-5 text-sm">
{#each recipe.steps as step}
<li>{step}</li>
{/each}
</ol>
```
- Uses `<ol>` which auto-numbers with CSS
- No code changes needed
2. **[src/lib/server/tandoor.ts](../../../src/lib/server/tandoor.ts)** (Lines 231-260)
```typescript
const steps: TandoorRecipeDTO['steps'] = (recipe.steps || []).map((instruction, index) => {
return {
instruction,
order: index,
ingredients: mappedIngredients
};
});
```
- Step number comes from `index`, not instruction text
- No code changes needed
#### Testing Strategy
1. **Frontend Test:**
- Extract a recipe
- Verify steps display as "1. Step text", "2. Step text" (not "1. 1. Step text")
- Check that step numbering is visually correct
2. **Tandoor Test:**
- Extract a recipe
- Import to Tandoor
- Verify Tandoor recipe shows correctly numbered steps
- Confirm no parsing errors
3. **Visual Regression:**
- Compare before/after screenshots
- Ensure no layout changes except removal of duplicate numbers
---
### Story 4: Update Tests and Documentation
**As a** developer
**I want** tests and docs to reflect the new step format
**So that** future contributors understand the expected behavior
#### Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] No tests fail due to expecting numbered steps
- [ ] If test fixtures exist, they're updated to clean format
- [ ] Changelog documents the change
#### Technical Specification
**Files to Check:**
1. **[src/tests/sse-extraction.spec.ts](../../../src/tests/sse-extraction.spec.ts)**
- Line 78 has `steps: []` (empty, no impact)
- No changes needed
2. **Other Test Files:**
- [src/tests/scheduler.integration.spec.ts](../../../src/tests/scheduler.integration.spec.ts)

#### Testing Strategy
1. **Run Test Suite:**
```bash
npm test
```
- Verify all tests pass
- No changes expected to be needed
2. **Update Documentation:**
- Prompt changelog already updated in Story 1
- No other documentation changes needed
---
## Dependencies and Risks
### Dependencies
- **None:** This change is self-contained within the LLM prompt layer
### Risks
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|------------|--------|------------|
| LLM still adds numbers despite prompt change | Low | Medium | Test with multiple recipes; adjust prompt wording if needed |
| Existing recipes in DB have numbered steps | N/A | None | Recipes are extracted fresh each time, not stored |
| Tandoor integration breaks | Very Low | Medium | Tandoor uses array index for numbering, not text parsing |
| Frontend numbering breaks | Very Low | High | `<ol>` is standard HTML; CSS controls numbering style |
### Rollback Plan
If issues arise:
1. Revert prompt changes (all in one file: `recipe-extraction.ts`)
2. Revert parser.ts system prompt change
3. No database or infrastructure changes to revert
