Health Coach — Data skill for Claude Code

health-coach

A local-first health coaching plugin for [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code). Three skills (nutrition, activity, sleep) that activate by context, plus two rituals (`/daily-check-in`, `/weekly-review`). All your data is stored as plain markdown on your own machine.

What this is

A small marketplace with a single plugin. The plugin helps you log what you eat, how you train and how you sleep, then looks for patterns across all three. It's designed for self-coaching, not clinical use.

The coach keeps a short profile and a daily log per day. Everything is a markdown file under `plugins/health-coach/data/` — you can read, edit or delete any of it directly.

Installation

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add pxtricixdev/health-coach
/plugin install health-coach@health-coach

For local development (before pushing, or if you're forking), install from a path:

/plugin marketplace add /absolute/path/to/health-coach
/plugin install health-coach@health-coach

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop doesn't have a plugin system, but you can get the same skills by pointing it at the skills directory via the filesystem MCP server.

1. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/pxtricixdev/health-coach.git ~/health-coach

1. Open your Claude Desktop config file:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add a filesystem MCP server entry that gives Claude access to the plugin folder:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "health-coach": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/health-coach/plugins/health-coach"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace `/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/health-coach` with the actual path where you cloned the repo.

1. Restart Claude Desktop.

Once restarted, Claude can read the skill files and your data logs. The
