What it does

Wine Pairing is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Pick a wine that flatters tonight's meal — at your budget, from what's actually available — without the sommelier mystique. Use when asked what wine goes with [dish], help me pick a wine, what should I drink with dinner, or recommend a bottle for. Produces a couple of specific bottle styles (not just 'a red'), why each works with the dish, a budget-tier pick, an easy-to-find fallback, and a non-alcoholic option — with a plain reason you can remember next time.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked what wine goes with [dish]
  • Help me pick a wine
  • What should I drink with dinner
  • Recommend a bottle for

Example prompts

  • “s meal — at your budget, from what”
  • “/wine-pairing”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Match intensity. Light dish → light wine; rich dish → fuller wine. A big red flattens delicate fish; a crisp white vanishes under a stew.
  2. Use acidity as a reset. High-acid wines cut through fat, cream, and salt — the reason bright whites love fried and creamy food.
  3. Tame heat and sweetness. Spicy food wants a touch of sweetness and lower alcohol; sweet dishes want a wine at least as sweet.
  4. Respect the sauce over the protein. The sauce/prep usually drives the pairing more than the meat itself.
  5. Give a name and a reason. Recommend a style they can actually ask for, and why — so they learn the pattern, not just the answer.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Wine Pairing loads about 941 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 479 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~119
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~941

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Pick a wine that flatters tonight's meal — at your budget, from what's actually available — without the sommelier mystique. Use when asked what wine goes with [dish], help me pick a wine, what should I drink with dinner, or recommend a bottle for. Produces a couple of specific bottle styles (not just 'a red'), why each works with the dish, a budget-tier pick, an easy-to-find fallback, and a non-alcoholic option — with a plain reason you can remember next time.

Wine Pairing

Pairing isn't a secret code — it's a few rules about matching weight, acidity, and intensity, plus what you can actually buy nearby. This gives you specific styles to ask for (or grab off the shelf), a reason each works, and options across price — so you walk in confident instead of grabbing the bottle with the nicest label.

What This Skill Produces

  • Two or three specific styles — grape/style you can ask for by name, not "a nice red"
  • Why it works — the one-line reason (weight, acidity, sweetness, tannin) so it sticks
  • A budget pick and a step-up — a good everyday option and one worth a little more
  • An easy-to-find fallback — something almost any shop or restaurant list will have
  • A no/low-alcohol option — because not everyone's drinking

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The dish — main ingredient, sauce/richness, spice level, how it's cooked
  • The setting — casual weeknight, dinner party, gift, or restaurant list
  • Preferences — red/white/rosé/sparkling leanings, sweet vs dry, anything disliked
  • Budget — rough per-bottle range
  • What's available — a specific shop, a restaurant list to pick from, or "whatever's typical"

Framework: Match Weight, Then Contrast

  1. Match intensity. Light dish → light wine; rich dish → fuller wine. A big red flattens delicate fish; a crisp white vanishes under a stew.
  2. Use acidity as a reset. High-acid wines cut through fat, cream, and salt — the reason bright whites love fried and creamy food.
  3. Tame heat and sweetness. Spicy food wants a touch of sweetness and lower alcohol; sweet dishes want a wine at least as sweet.
  4. Respect the sauce over the protein. The sauce/prep usually drives the pairing more than the meat itself.
  5. Give a name and a reason. Recommend a style they can actually ask for, and why — so they learn the pattern, not just the answer.

Output Format

Pairing: [dish] · [setting] · [budget]

🍷 [Style/grape] — works because [weight/acidity/etc.]. Ask for: [example]. 🍷 [Style/grape] — works because […].

Budget pick: [style + rough price] · Step up: [style]. Easy to find anywhere: [safe fallback]. No/low-alcohol: [option].

Remember this: [the one rule that made it work].

Quality Checks

  • Recommends specific styles you can ask for by name, not just a color
  • Each pick has a one-line reason tied to a pairing principle
  • Options span at least two price points
  • Includes an easy-to-find fallback and a no/low-alcohol option
  • Respects stated preferences and dislikes

Anti-Patterns

  • "Just get a nice red" — no style, no reason, no help.
  • Ignoring budget — recommending a $60 bottle for a Tuesday.
  • Snobbery — dismissing supermarket wine or boxed options.
  • Pairing the protein, not the sauce when the sauce is the star.
  • Forgetting non-drinkers at the table.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "What wine goes with mushroom risotto?"
  • "Pick me a bottle under $20 for grilled salmon."
  • "We're having spicy Thai — what should we drink?"
  • "Bringing wine to a dinner party, they're serving lamb. Help."
  • "What pairs with a cheese board, and something non-alcoholic too?"
