WHOOP CLI for Agents

Use whoop-cli to fetch WHOOP data, generate day briefs/health flags, and export trend data for automation workflows.

whoop-cli

Use the installed whoop command.

Security + credential handling (required)

• Never ask users to paste client secrets/tokens into chat.
• For first-time auth, the user should run login locally on their own shell.
• Prefer read-only operational commands in agent flows (summary, day-brief, health, trend, sync pull).
• Do not run whoop auth login unless the user explicitly asks for login help.
• Tokens are stored locally at ~/.whoop-cli/profiles/<profile>.json by the CLI.

Install / bootstrap

If whoop is missing:

npm install -g @andreasnlarsen/whoop-cli@0.3.1

Optional OpenClaw skill install from package bundle:

whoop openclaw install-skill --force

Core checks

1. whoop auth status --json
2. If unauthenticated, ask the user to run local login:
   • whoop auth login --client-id ... --client-secret ... --redirect-uri ...
3. Validate:
   • whoop day-brief --json --pretty

Useful commands

• Daily:
  • whoop summary --json --pretty
  • whoop day-brief --json --pretty
  • whoop strain-plan --json --pretty
  • whoop health flags --days 7 --json --pretty
• Activity analysis:
  • whoop activity list --days 30 --json --pretty
  • whoop activity trend --days 30 --json --pretty
  • whoop activity types --days 30 --json --pretty
  • training-only: whoop activity trend --days 30 --labeled-only --json --pretty

Activity interpretation guardrail (important)

• WHOOP generic activity rows (often sport_id=-1) are auto-detected and may be unlabeled movement (housework/incidental activity), not intentional training.
• Do not treat generic activity as confirmed training volume by default.
• For coaching/training recommendations, default to --labeled-only and report both total vs filtered counts.

Agent filtering pattern (jq-friendly)

• Canonical source: whoop activity list --json
• Prefer built-in filters first (--labeled-only, --generic-only, --sport-id, --sport-name).
• If custom slicing is needed and jq is available, filter shell-side from raw JSON (example):

whoop activity list --days 30 --json | jq '.data.records | map(select(.sport_id != -1))'

• Export:
  • whoop sync pull --start YYYY-MM-DD --end YYYY-MM-DD --out ./whoop.jsonl --json --pretty

Experiment protocol (agent-required)

• Canonical state: ~/.whoop-cli/experiments.json only.
• Plan experiments with context at creation time:
  • whoop experiment plan --name ... --behavior ... --start-date YYYY-MM-DD [--end-date YYYY-MM-DD] --description ... --why ... --hypothesis ... --success-criteria ... --protocol ... --json --pretty
• Update context without creating duplicate state:
  • whoop experiment context --id ... [--description ... --why ... --hypothesis ... --success-criteria ... --protocol ...] --json --pretty
• Check lifecycle/status with:
  • whoop experiment status [--status planned|running|completed] [--id ...] --json --pretty
• Evaluate outcomes with:
  • whoop experiment report --id ... --json --pretty
• Profile scope is strict by default (active --profile only).
  • Use --all-profiles only when cross-profile visibility is explicitly needed.
• Prefer output field sourceOfTruth (path to canonical state file); experimentsFile is kept as compatibility alias.
• Avoid duplicating experiment state into other files unless the user explicitly asks for separate notes.

Safety

• Never print client secrets or raw tokens.
• Keep API errors concise and actionable.
• Treat this integration as unofficial/non-affiliated.
