Garmin Connect Integration Skill

Deep fitness metrics from Garmin Connect for enhanced training insights and recovery-aware nudges.

Features

• Training Status: Recovery time, training load, VO2 max
• Sleep Analysis: Duration, quality, sleep stages
• Body Battery: Energy levels throughout day
• Daily Readiness: Is Brian recovered enough to train hard?
• Heart Rate: Resting HR trends, stress levels
• Activity Details: More detailed metrics than Strava

Why Garmin + Strava?

Strava: Social, activities, segments, ride tracking
Garmin: Physiological metrics, recovery, sleep, training load

Combined = Smart nudges that respect recovery status!

Setup

1. Install Dependencies

pip3 install garminconnect --break-system-packages
# Or using a virtual environment (recommended):
# python3 -m venv ./venv
# source ./venv/bin/activate
# pip install garminconnect

2. Store Credentials in 1Password

Create a new "Login" item in your 1Password vault (e.g., "Personal") with the following details:

• Title: Garmin Connect (or a custom name you prefer)
• Username: Your Garmin Connect email address
• Password: Your Garmin Connect password

If you use a custom title or a different vault, set the GARMIN_1P_ITEM_NAME and GARMIN_1P_VAULT environment variables before running the scripts. Example:

export GARMIN_1P_ITEM_NAME="My Garmin Login"
export GARMIN_1P_VAULT="MyFamilyVault"

Ensure your OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN is set up for 1Password CLI authentication:

export OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN=$(cat ~/.config/op/service-account-token)

3. Test Connection

./scripts/garmin-login.sh

Usage

Get Today's Stats

./scripts/get-stats.sh

Returns:

• Body battery (current/forecast)
• Sleep last night
• Training status
• Recovery time remaining
• Resting heart rate

Get Sleep Data

./scripts/get-sleep.sh [days_back]

Returns sleep duration, quality, stages for last N days.

Check Recovery Status

./scripts/check-recovery.sh

Returns whether Brian is recovered enough for hard training.

Integration with Strava Nudges

Enhanced decision logic:

Before nudging for a hard workout:

1. Check Garmin recovery time
2. Check body battery level
3. Check sleep quality last night
4. Adjust intensity recommendation

Example:

• Strava says: "Thursday tempo ride"
• Garmin says: "Recovery time: 24h, body battery: 45%"
• Nudge becomes: "Thursday ride scheduled, but recovery still needed. Easy Zone 2 instead of tempo today?"

Data Structure

Stats Object

{
  "body_battery": {
    "current": 75,
    "charged": true,
    "forecast": 85
  },
  "sleep": {
    "duration_hours": 7.2,
    "quality": "good",
    "deep_sleep_hours": 1.8,
    "rem_hours": 1.5

Smart Nudge Enhancement Examples

Scenario 1: Poor Sleep + Hard Workout Day

Without Garmin: "Thursday tempo ride time!"
With Garmin: "You only got 5 hours sleep last night. Maybe take today easy? Light Zone 2 or rest."

Scenario 2: Recovered + Good Conditions

Without Garmin: "Tuesday ride day"
With Garmin: "Fully recovered (body battery 85%, 8h sleep) + perfect weather. Great day for that tempo ride! 🚴"

Scenario 3: High Stress Day

Without Garmin: "Evening gym time!"
With Garmin: "Stress level high today (68). Maybe skip gym and prioritize recovery?"

Morning Briefing Enhancement

Current:

🚴 Fitness Update:
Last ride: 2 days ago
This week: 3 rides, 87km

With Garmin:

🚴 Fitness Update:
**Sleep:** 7.5h (good quality, 2h deep)
**Recovery:** ✅ Fully recovered
**Body Battery:** 82% (charged overnight)
**Resting HR:** 48 bpm (normal)

Last ride: 2 days ago
This week: 3 rides, 87km
**Training Status:** Productive (VO2 max: 52)

Configuration

Edit config.json (create if it doesn't exist):

{
  "recovery_thresholds": {
    "body_battery_low": 40,
    "body_battery_good": 70,
    "min_sleep_hours": 6.5,
    "max_recovery_time_hours": 12
  },
  "nudge_modifications": {
    "respect_recovery": true,
    "downgrade_intensity_if_tired": true,
    "skip_gym_if_high_stress": true
  }
}

Note: This config.json should be created in the skill's root directory (/root/clawd/skills/garmin/).

API Reference

Using garminconnect Python library:

• get_stats() - Daily stats summary
• get_sleep_data() - Sleep metrics
• get_body_battery() - Energy levels
• get_training_status() - Training load, recovery
• get_heart_rates() - HR data

Rate limits: No official limit, but be reasonable (cache data, don't spam).

Dependencies

• Python 3.7+
• garminconnect library
• 1Password CLI (op)
• jq for JSON parsing (if needed by other scripts)

Privacy

• ✅ Credentials stored in 1Password
• ✅ Session tokens cached temporarily in /tmp/garmin-session/
• ✅ Data queried on-demand, not stored long-term by the skill (though the system might cache in /root/clawd/data/fitness/garmin/ as per TOOLS.md)
• ✅ No external sharing
• ✅ Read-only access to Garmin

Future Enhancements

• Correlate sleep quality → work productivity
• Predict when Brian will be recovered
• Compare son's Garmin data (if he has one)
• Long-term trends (fitness improving?)
