clawcoach-setup

What This Skill Does

The clawcoach-setup skill transforms your local machine into a personal, privacy-focused nutrition coach. By initializing your personal health dashboard, this skill creates a local directory structure at ~/.clawcoach/ where your dietary data, meal logs, and daily macro totals reside securely. Unlike cloud-based fitness apps, ClawCoach stores all your health information locally on your device, ensuring total privacy. The skill walks you through a step-by-step onboarding process, calculating your metabolic baseline using the scientifically validated Mifflin-St Jeor equation to determine precise caloric and macronutrient targets tailored to your specific body composition and health goals.

Installation

To integrate this health coaching framework, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/authoredniko/clawcoach-setup

Once installed, the agent will monitor for activation commands or detect the absence of the profile file to trigger the setup flow.

Use Cases

ClawCoach is designed for users who want evidence-based nutrition tracking without compromising data privacy. It is ideal for individuals looking to lose weight, gain muscle, or simply maintain a healthier lifestyle through consistent monitoring. By providing both a supportive mentor persona and an analytical breakdown of your dietary intake, the skill bridges the gap between passive tracking and active lifestyle coaching. It is particularly useful for users with specific dietary restrictions (e.g., vegan, keto, or gluten-free) who need a personalized system that adapts to their preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all generic fitness application.

Example Prompts

1. "Hey OpenClaw, I want to start my journey—please set up clawcoach for me."
2. "I'm tired of my current goals, can you reset my clawcoach setup?"
3. "OpenClaw, I need help reconfiguring clawcoach because my weight and activity level have changed."

Tips & Limitations

• Data Integrity: Ensure that your weight and height inputs are accurate during setup, as these form the basis for your BMR calculations.
• Privacy: Since all data resides in ~/.clawcoach/, ensure you have your own local system backups enabled, as the agent does not sync data to any cloud servers.
• Reconfiguration: While the setup is meant to be a one-time event, don't hesitate to use the 'reset' command if your health profile significantly changes over time.
• Minimum Thresholds: The system strictly enforces safe caloric minimums (1,200 for women/other; 1,500 for men) to ensure you do not inadvertently target an unhealthy caloric deficit.
