hevy-cli

A typed, testable CLI for the Hevy workout tracking API.

Features

• Full Hevy API coverage — workouts, routines, folders, exercises, history
• Multiple output formats — table (rich), JSON, YAML (auto-selected by TTY)
• Auto-pagination — fetch all results with --all
• Flexible auth — env var, flag, or config file (XDG-compliant)
• Typed end-to-end — pydantic v2 models, mypy --strict, pyright-friendly
• Retry logic — exponential backoff on rate limits and server errors (tenacity)
• Structured logging — structlog with JSON output in --debug
• Tested — pytest + respx against the real API shapes

Use with Claude Code

This package ships a Claude Code skill so Claude can query your Hevy data directly through hevy instead of writing one-off HTTP scripts. Roughly 2–3× fewer tokens per Hevy-related prompt and no auth/pagination/error-handling drift.

# One-time install (from a clone of this repo)
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/hevy ~/.claude/skills/

Then ask Claude things like "summarise my workouts from this week" or "what's my bench press PR?" — the skill activates automatically based on its description.

See docs/claude-skill.md for the install guide, customisation, and troubleshooting. An MCP server (cross-platform — Claude Desktop, Cursor, opencode, Continue) is planned for a future release.
