Garminskill

Syncs daily health and fitness data from Garmin Connect into markdown files. Provides sleep, activity, heart rate, stress, body battery, HRV, SpO2, and weight data.

Garmin Connect

This skill syncs your daily health data from Garmin Connect into readable markdown files.

Setup

Authentication is required before the first sync. This only needs to happen once — tokens are cached for approximately one year.

If the sync command fails with "No cached tokens found", tell the user to run the setup command in their terminal:

bash

uv run {baseDir}/scripts/sync_garmin.py --setup --email [e-mail]

The password is prompted interactively via getpass — it is never echoed to screen, stored in shell history, or passed as a command argument. On success the user will see Success! Tokens cached in ~/.garminconnect. After that, all syncs use cached tokens only — no credentials are needed.

Do not ask the user for their password in chat and do not pass passwords as command-line arguments or via stdin piping, as these methods can expose credentials in process listings or conversation history.

Syncing Data

Sync today's data:

bash

uv run {baseDir}/scripts/sync_garmin.py

Sync a specific date:

bash

uv run {baseDir}/scripts/sync_garmin.py --date 2026-02-07

Sync the last N days:

bash

uv run {baseDir}/scripts/sync_garmin.py --days 7

Reading Health Data

Health files are stored at {baseDir}/health/YYYY-MM-DD.md — one file per day.

To answer health or fitness questions, read the relevant date's file from the {baseDir}/health/ directory. If the file doesn't exist for the requested date, run the sync command for that date first.

Dependencies

This skill uses uv to run the sync script. uv is a fast Python package manager by Astral that reads inline script metadata (PEP 723) and automatically installs dependencies (garminconnect, cloudscraper) in an isolated environment — no manual pip install needed.

Credentials & Stored Data

Garmin Connect does not offer a public OAuth API, so a one-time email/password login is required. During setup, the password is used once to obtain OAuth tokens, then discarded. The tokens are cached locally in ~/.garminconnect/ for approximately one year. At runtime, only the cached tokens are used — no email or password is needed. If tokens expire, re-run the setup command.

Paths written by this skill:

• ~/.garminconnect/ — cached OAuth tokens (sensitive; grants access to the user's Garmin account)
• {baseDir}/health/ — daily health markdown files (contains personal health data)

Cron Setup

Schedule the sync script to run every morning using OpenClaw's cron tool so your health data stays up to date automatically. No environment variables or credentials are needed — the sync uses cached tokens from the one-time setup.
