You can write most recipes with a lot less than what you have on your list. I suggest:
Figure out how to run recipes from a batch file, sending html to a directory and errors to a text file.
I use:
Code:
c:
cd \Projects\Calibre\Recipes\GoComics
ebook-convert GoComics.recipe GoComics --test -vv > GoComics.txt
I keep 3 files always open in my text editor. The recipe, the batch file above and the error file.
Use FireFox and FireBug to look at the html of the pages you are working on.
Copy a few builtin recipes and run them.
The main thing you are missing is the Calibre specific API and how to use it all. Here are the links that I use. I've read them many times and still have lots to learn.
Ask questions in the sticky custom recipe thread. There are lots of people there who will help.
