The Hook Drupal CMS recipes are the most practical building block for AI-driven site assembly: they translate a plan into installable modules and configuration with one apply step.

Why I Built It I wanted a compact, repeatable recipe starter that mirrors how Drupal CMS expects recipes to be packaged and applied, plus a tiny helper that lets AI tools emit a recipe YAML from structured inputs.

The Solution I built a small recipe package and a PHP blueprint helper. The recipe installs a baseline site-building stack and creates an AI Builder role, while the helper turns a JSON brief into a valid recipe.yml.

What I Learned

• Recipes are Composer packages of type drupal-recipe meant to be unpacked and applied, not kept as runtime dependencies.
• Applying a recipe happens from the webroot via drush recipe (Drush 13+) or php core/scripts/drupal recipe, and the core recipe-unpack workflow can place recipes in a /recipes directory.
• Recipe configuration actions live in recipe.yml and are expressed as config entity IDs plus actions like createIfNotExists, grantPermissions, and simpleConfigUpdate.
• The Recipes initiative APIs are available in core as experimental in Drupal 10.3+ and Drupal 11.

The Hook AI in Drupal CMS 2.0 gets real value when the first week produces repeatable output, not one-off experiments. I wanted a simple kit that editors can plug into their workflow on day one: clear prompts, consistent tone, and fast QA.

The Hook When one Drupal module depends on another, I want to iterate across both without publishing interim versions or wiring up a private Composer repo. Path repositories give me that speed while keeping dependency boundaries honest.

FlowDrop is a visual, drag-and-drop workflow editor for Drupal with AI integration hooks. The core project is moving quickly with Drupal 11 releases (0.5.1 shipped January 27, 2026), which makes it a good time to evaluate the AI-adjacent contrib pieces that plug into FlowDrop, especially FlowDrop Agents and FlowDrop Node Session.
