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 listto 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.
Notes
- 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)
