How Recipes Work

Recipes are YAML manifests that define:

• Profiles — model configurations
• Proxy config — LiteLLM settings
• Docker Compose — container definitions
• Environment — variables and secrets

They use intelligent structural merging via DeepDiff, so running a recipe again (or a different recipe on top) merges changes without overwriting your existing settings.
