DoorDash Group Orders

Coordinating N people's food is exactly the cross-session state Claude

drops: who's vegetarian, who hates cilantro, which cart line is Bob's, whose

turn it is to pay. This skill keeps a roster, attributes every cart line to

its eater, splits costs with fees prorated, and remembers payer history.

Unofficial community skill built on DoorDash's doordash-oss/doordash-cli.

Note: dd-cli orders under ONE account — the account owner pays DoorDash;

the split is for reimbursement (Venmo/transfer), not split payment.

State

• team-food.json (project dir or ~/.claude/dd-cli/ — committable if the

team shares a repo): the roster.

{
  "members": {
    "dani":  { "hard": ["vegetarian"], "allergens": [{ "name": "peanut", "severity": "anaphylaxis" }], "favorites": ["Veggie burrito bowl"], "dislikes": ["cilantro"] },
    "bob":   { "hard": [], "allergens": [], "favorites": ["Spicy chicken sandwich"], "dislikes": [] }
  }
}

• .dd/round-<date>.json — the active round's ledger:

{
  "date": "2026-07-19",
  "cart_uuid": "...",
  "restaurant": "...",
  "orders": {
    "dani": [{ "item": "Veggie bowl", "cart_item_id": "41", "price": 12.5 }],
    "bob":  [{ "item": "Spicy chicken sandwich", "cart_item_id": "42", "price": 11.0 }]
  }
}

• .dd/rounds.jsonl — history, one line per completed round:

{"date": "...", "order_uuid": "...", "payer": "dani", "split": {"dani": 14.1, "bob": 12.4}}

Flow 1 — Build a round

"Order lunch for the team":

• Roster check: load team-food.json; missing members → quick

interview (hard constraints, allergens + severity, a favorite, dislikes).

• Restaurant: intersect hard constraints (a vegetarian on the roster =

only places with real vegetarian options). dd-cli search --query "..."

→ shortlist of 2-3 → let the human pick.

• Per-member choice: use their favorites when the restaurant matches;

otherwise ask ONE question per member (or take answers from a pasted

thread — Flow 2). Never guess for someone with allergens.

• Build the cart: dd-cli cart add-items ... per member's items (via

the dd-guard wrapper when doordash-spend-guard is installed). After each add,

run dd-cli cart show --cart-uuid <X> and record which cart-item-id

belongs to whom in .dd/round-<date>.json. This ledger is what makes

"quita lo de Bob" resolvable later.

• Review: show the cart grouped by person with per-person subtotals.
• Checkout: emit the checkout URL (through dd-guard if installed). The

group gate hook independently re-checks allergens (see below).

• Close the round: after the human confirms they ordered, pull the

order_uuid from dd-cli order history, compute the split, append to

.dd/rounds.jsonl, and print a share-ready split table.

Flow 2 — Paste-a-thread intake

The user pastes a Slack/chat thread ("who wants what"). Parse it into the

round file: person → requested items. Unknown people → ask if they should

join the roster. Ambiguous requests ("something spicy") → one clarifying

question, or their favorite if the restaurant matches. Then continue Flow 1

from step 4.

Flow 3 — Edits by person

"Bob canceló" / "cambia lo de Sam": look up the person's cart_item_ids in

the round ledger, dd-cli cart remove-item --cart-uuid X --cart-item-id N

for each, update the ledger, re-show the grouped cart.

Cost split

• Item subtotals per person from the round ledger.
• Fees/tip/tax are only final on the payment page: split the known subtotal

now, and offer the post-payment fallback — "tell me the final total and

I'll prorate the difference by each person's share."

• split = per-person items + prorated share of (final_total − subtotal)

when provided.

/whose-turn

Read .dd/rounds.jsonl: sum what each member has paid vs. consumed across

rounds; the next payer is the member with the largest (consumed − paid)

balance. Show the balances so the answer explains itself.

Rules

• Anyone with an anaphylaxis allergen gets the same vetting the

doordash-allergy-shield skill applies — check their items against hidden-source

synonyms, and never guess their order.

• cart-item-ids come only from real cart show output.
• The round ledger is the source of truth for attribution — keep it updated

on every cart mutation, or person-level edits break.

• Add .dd/ to .gitignore unless the team explicitly wants round history

committed (it reveals eating habits).
