bash scripts/oura-briefing.sh --date 2024-01-15

# JSON output
bash scripts/oura-briefing.sh --json

# Use a token directly
bash scripts/oura-briefing.sh --token YOUR_TOKEN

What it returns

• Sleep: total sleep, efficiency, deep/REM/light breakdown, latency, wake time, score
• Readiness: readiness score, HRV balance, body temperature deviation, recovery index
• Activity: activity score, steps, active calories, equivalent walking distance

Agent guidance

When a user asks about sleep, readiness, HRV, or recovery:

1. Run bash scripts/oura-briefing.sh (requires OURA_API_TOKEN in environment)
2. Parse the output and present a plain-language summary
3. Flag anything below their normal range (sleep < 70, readiness < 70, HRV drop > 15%)
4. Suggest actionable adjustments if scores are low (bedtime, wind-down, recovery day)

Wake detection

The script exits 0 with a wake_confirmed field when the user has woken up today (bedtime_end present in latest long_sleep session). Use this as a gate before sending morning reports.

bash

bash scripts/oura-briefing.sh --wake-check
# exit 0 = awake, exit 1 = not yet
