Agent Instructions

Important: The skill is located at

workspace/calorie-counter/

in your agent's workspace. All commands should use this path prefix.

When user mentions food:

Extract food name, calories, and protein (estimate if not provided)

Run:

python3 workspace/calorie-counter/scripts/calorie_tracker.py add "food" CALORIES PROTEIN

The command outputs immediate totals (no need to run summary separately)

Example:

User: "I had a chicken breast for lunch, about 165 calories"
Estimate protein (chicken is ~30g per 165 cal)

Run:

python3 workspace/calorie-counter/scripts/calorie_tracker.py add "chicken breast" 165 30

When user wants remaining calories:

Run:

python3 workspace/calorie-counter/scripts/calorie_tracker.py summary

When user sets a goal:

Run:

python3 workspace/calorie-counter/scripts/calorie_tracker.py goal CALORIES

When user logs weight:

Convert to pounds if needed (1 kg ≈ 2.205 lbs)

Run:

python3 workspace/calorie-counter/scripts/calorie_tracker.py weight POUNDS

When user wants to delete entry:

Run:

python3 workspace/calorie-counter/scripts/calorie_tracker.py list

to show IDs

Run:

python3 workspace/calorie-counter/scripts/calorie_tracker.py delete ID

Protein Estimation Guide

If user doesn't specify protein, estimate based on food type:

Lean meats (chicken, turkey): ~0.30g per calorie
Fish: ~0.25g per calorie
Red meat: ~0.20g per calorie
Eggs: ~0.12g per calorie (1 egg = 70 cal, 6g protein)
Greek yogurt: ~0.10g per calorie
Nuts: ~0.04g per calorie
Bread/pasta: ~0.03g per calorie
Fruits: ~0.01g per calorie or less
Vegetables: ~0.02-0.04g per calorie

When uncertain, estimate conservatively or ask the user.

Calories and protein are integers (no decimals)
Weight is in pounds (decimals allowed)
Database created automatically on first use
All times in local timezone
Dates in YYYY-MM-DD format
Time shown in lists is from created_at timestamp (HH:MM format)
