Garmin Connect CLI

This skill provides access to Garmin Connect health and fitness data through the gc CLI.

Setup

1. Install via Homebrew tap:

   brew tap voydz/homebrew-tap
   brew install garmin-cli
   

2. Authentication:

   gc login --email [email protected] --password secret
   # With MFA:
   gc login --email [email protected] --password secret --mfa 123456
   

3. Verify connection:

   gc status
   

Date Shortcuts

Most commands accept a date shortcut as first argument:

• today — current date
• yesterday — previous date
• week — last 7 days (returns a date range)
• month — last 30 days (returns a date range)
• YYYY-MM-DD — specific date

For command groups with subcommands (activities, body, stress, heart, menstrual), use --date on the parent command to avoid argument conflicts. Alternatively use --date, --start/--end flags.

Output

All data commands support:

• --format json for machine-readable output (default: table)
• --output FILE to write to a file

Always use --format json when parsing output programmatically.

## Workouts Steps JSON Schema (`--steps`)

`--steps` expects a JSON array of step objects. Each step can be shorthand or Garmin-shaped.

Shorthand step example:
```json
{"type":"interval","duration":1200,"target":"hr_zone:2"}

Supported shorthand fields:

• type: warmup, interval, recovery, cooldown, rest, repeat
• duration: seconds (implies endCondition = time)
• target: hr_zone:2, power_zone:3, pace_zone:4, heart_rate:150, power:220, cadence:90, no_target

Garmin-shaped fields (optional):

• stepType: {"stepTypeKey":"warmup"} (or any Garmin stepType object)
• stepOrder: integer
• endCondition: {"conditionTypeKey":"time|distance|calories|heart_rate|cadence|power|iterations"}
• endConditionValue: number
• targetType: {"workoutTargetTypeKey":"no.target|heart.rate|power|speed|cadence|open|heart.rate.zone|power.zone|pace.zone"}
• targetValue: number

For advanced Garmin payloads (repeat groups, nested steps, etc.), prefer --file with the full Garmin schema.
