What This Skill Does

The Diet skill is a comprehensive CLI-based nutrition management system for OpenClaw. It enables users to maintain a detailed record of their daily caloric intake and macronutrient distribution (protein, carbohydrates, and fats). By centralizing food and water logging, the skill provides users with actionable data regarding their dietary habits, facilitating better health outcomes through precise tracking. The skill generates structured meal plans based on existing consumption history and provides detailed analytical reporting to track health trends over time.

Installation

To integrate the Diet skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ckchzh/diet

Ensure your system has bash 4+ and python3 installed, as the skill leverages these dependencies to process data and manage the underlying JSON storage files located in ~/.diet/.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for fitness enthusiasts, individuals monitoring specific health conditions, or anyone looking to build better eating habits. Use it to log caloric density for weight management, track protein intake for muscle building, or monitor hydration levels throughout the workday. It acts as a personal nutritionist assistant, providing immediate feedback on whether your daily intake aligns with your fitness goals.

Example Prompts

1. "Log my lunch: grilled chicken salad with 350 calories, 30g protein, 10g carbs, and 5g fat."
2. "Show me a macro breakdown for yesterday to see if I hit my protein goal."
3. "Generate a meal plan for the next 3 days that targets 2000 calories per day."

Tips & Limitations

To get the most out of the Diet skill, log your meals consistently immediately after eating to prevent data gaps. Remember that accuracy depends on the quality of your input; using standard nutritional data for generic food items is recommended. The skill is limited to the data currently stored within your ~/.diet/ JSON files, so it cannot pull real-time nutritional information from external APIs. It is a local-first utility focused on personal data privacy and manual logging. If you notice inconsistencies in your reports, ensure your system clock is correct, as all commands default to the current system date.
