🧭 Are you still troubled by too much health data? Learn about this "road sign" skill
In the morning, you open your wristband and see that your deep sleep duration last night was insufficient, your HRV was low, and your blood pressure was a bit high in the morning... You want to check all these data at once, but you don't want to load a bunch of skills you never use (for example, if you don't run, why load running analysis?). At this moment, you need a Xiaoyi Health CLI skill index. It acts like a "road sign" for health data—it only takes you to the corresponding sub-skill based on the question you ask.
🚀 How does it work?
Here is its routing table (from the official documentation):
- If you ask about heart rate, heartbeat, HRV, blood pressure → automatically load the cardiovascular sub-skill
- If you ask about sleep, deep sleep, REM, insomnia → load sleep-coach
- If you ask about blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar → load blood-sugar-coach
- If you ask about weight, body fat, fat loss → load weight-management
- If you ask about menstruation, ovulation, basal body temperature → load reproductive-health
- If you take a photo of food to identify calories → load photo-diet-logging
- ...A total of 16 sub-skills, covering 27+ health domains
So when you input "How was my sleep last night?" the index immediately matches sleep-coach, instead of loading unrelated skills like running, blood oxygen, or nutrition. This is the essence of "on-demand loading"—only take what you need; leave the rest aside.
💡 Practical use case
I am currently in a fat-loss phase, and every morning I must ask two things: "Last night's sleep quality" and "Today's fasting blood sugar." Using this index, I can execute two commands in a row:
node ./skills/xiaoyi-health/bin/pha-claw.js "How long did I sleep last night? What is the deep sleep percentage?"
The system first reads the index, locates sleep-coach, loads its SKILL.md, then calls the related CLI tool to fetch data and returns a sleep analysis conclusion. Then:
node ./skills/xiaoyi-health/bin/pha-claw.js "What is my fasting blood sugar this morning?"
This time it locates blood-sugar-coach, loads it, and returns blood sugar trends and analysis. The whole process is very fast because only one sub-skill is loaded each time. If I want to check both sleep and blood sugar simultaneously, the system even supports parallel loading—loading sleep-coach and blood-sugar-coach at the same time, fetching data concurrently for higher efficiency.
🔧 Installation and configuration
Installation is very simple, just one command:
npx skills add https://github.com/18816132863/xiaoyi-claw-omega-final --skill xiaoyi-health-cli-index
The author is 18816132863, the repository is xiaoyi-claw-omega-final. After installation, you will find the index's SKILL.md file in the skills/xiaoyi-health directory, as well as an execution script bin/pha-claw.js. Then you can directly query using the command line.
📂 List of sub-skills (partial)
Here is a more detailed routing table I compiled from the official documentation, for your convenience:
| User intent | Loaded sub-skill |
|---|---|
| Heart rate, blood pressure, HRV, atrial fibrillation | cardiovascular |
| Sleep duration, quality, stages | sleep-coach |
| Naps, power naps | naps |
| Stress, anxiety, mood, burnout | mental-health |
| Steps, activity, exercise, VO2Max | fitness |
| Running ability, pace, cadence | running |
| Blood oxygen (SpO2) | blood-oxygen |
| Blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar | blood-sugar-coach |
| Body temperature, fever | body-temperature |
| Weight, BMI, body fat, fat loss/muscle gain | weight-management |
| Nutrition intake, dietary calories | nutrition |
| Menstrual cycle, period, ovulation, basal body temperature | reproductive-health |
| Weekly health summary | weekly-review |
| Today's health overview | health-overview |
| Text logging of diet (ate something) | diet-logging |
| Photo food recognition | photo-diet-logging |
⚡ Loading strategy: simple vs complex
Each sub-skill further refines the data retrieval path. For example, if you ask "How many steps did I walk yesterday?" this is a simple query, fetching data from only one tool (steps). But if you ask "What is my fitness trend for this week?" the fitness sub-skill will fetch data from multiple tools in parallel (steps, activity, exercise duration, VO2Max, etc.) and perform a comprehensive analysis. The index itself does not care about these details—it is only responsible for routing. How data is fetched and analyzed is handled by the sub-skills themselves.
🤔 Why design it as an index?
To be honest, when I first saw this design, I thought it was unnecessary—why not just create one big health skill? But after thinking about it, health data is really too complex. Heart rate monitoring and blood sugar monitoring follow completely different logic, and exercise ability analysis has nothing to do with sleep analysis. If you cram everything into one large skill, not only does the code become highly coupled, but every request would require loading all modules...
