# Recipes

> Every ready-made recipe in PowerWP AI, by pack, with the permissions it needs.

Recipes are ready-made, step-by-step procedures that come with PowerWP AI: 43 recipes in 5 packs. Your AI app shows them as commands (slash commands in Claude Code), and you can run any of them in any app by asking for it by name. The packs that fit your site switch on by themselves. See [Recipes](/docs/concepts/recipes/) for how to switch packs, adapt a recipe or save your own.

> [!NOTE] Every recipe that changes something looks first, shows you the exact texts, sets a checkpoint and ends with how to roll the work back.
