Recipe: Tarot card reader (entertainment)

A playful single-card draw built with Meridian's prompt chaining. For amusement only — no divination claims.

Ingredients

  • 1 system prompt (tarot persona)
  • 1 user prompt (shuffle + draw)
  • 1 output parser (card name + interpretation)

Steps

  1. Set the system prompt to a mystical fortune-teller persona that knows the Rider-Waite deck.
  2. User prompt: "Shuffle the deck and draw one card for me. Reveal its name, imagery, and a short reflection."
  3. Parse the response: extract card name, suit, and the generated reflection.
  4. Render the result in a card-style UI with the card name prominent and the reflection below.

Sample output

The Star

Major Arcana

A woman kneels by a pool, pouring water under a starry sky. This card speaks of hope, renewal, and quiet faith after a storm. Whatever you're holding onto — let the water carry it.
