# Huckleberry Baby Tracker

Track baby activities (sleep, feeding, diapers, growth) via the Huckleberry app's Firebase backend.

## Setup

1. Install the API:
   ```bash
   # Install from GitHub (required for bottle feeding support until next PyPI release)
   pip install git+https://github.com/Woyken/py-huckleberry-api.git
   # or with uv:
   uv pip install git+https://github.com/Woyken/py-huckleberry-api.git
   ```

2. Configure credentials (choose one):
   - Environment variables:
     ```bash
     export HUCKLEBERRY_EMAIL="your-email@example.com"
     export HUCKLEBERRY_PASSWORD="your-password"
     export HUCKLEBERRY_TIMEZONE="America/Los_Angeles"  # optional
     ```
   - Config file at `~/.config/huckleberry/credentials.json`:
     ```json
     {
       "email": "your-email@example.com",
       "password": "your-password",
       "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles"
     }
     ```

## Agent Guidelines: When to Ask for Details

### AI Attribution on Notes
**Always** include AI attribution when logging entries:

**Creating new entries:**
- No user note: `--notes "Created via AI"`
- User provides note: `--notes "user's note | Created via AI"`

**Editing existing entries:**
- No user note: `--notes "Updated via AI"`
- User provides note: append ` | Updated via AI` to existing notes

This creates a paper trail for AI-assisted entries.

### When to Ask for Clarification
When a user request is sparse, ask for clarification before logging. Here's when:

### Diaper Changes
If user says just "diaper change" or "poop":
- **Always ask:** Was it pee, poo, or both?
- **For poo, consider asking:** Color? Consistency? Amount?
- **Skip details if:** User seems rushed or says "just log it"

Example follow-up:
> "Got it! Was it pee, poo, or both? Any details to note (color, consistency, amount)?"

### Bottle Feeding
If user says "bottle" without amount:
- **Always ask:** How much? (in ml or oz)
- **Consider asking:** Formula, breast milk, or mixed?

Example follow-up:
> "How much was the bottle? And was it formula, breast milk, or mixed?"

### Growth Measurements
If user says "log weight" without value:
- **Always ask:** What's the weight? (and clarify units if ambiguous)

### Sleep/Feeding Timers
These are typically clear commands, but clarify if ambiguous:
- "Baby's eating" → "Starting breastfeeding — which side, left or right?"
- "Feed done" → Check if breastfeeding or bottle context

## Natural Language Examples

| User says | Action |
|-----------|--------|
| "Baby fell asleep" | `sleep-start` |
| "She woke up" | `sleep-complete` |
| "Cancel that sleep" | `sleep-cancel` |
| "Feeding on the left" | `feed-start --side left` |
| "Switch sides" | `feed-switch` |
| "Done nursing" | `feed-complete` |
| "4oz bottle of formula" | `bottle 4 --type Formula --units oz` |
| "120ml breast milk bottle" | `bottle 120 --type "Breast Milk" --units ml` |
| "Diaper change, pee and poo" | → Ask about amounts/color/consistency |
| "Just a wet diaper" | `diaper pee` |
| "Dry check" | `diaper dry` |
| "Weight is 5.5kg" | `growth --weight 5.5 --units metric` |
| "What did the baby do today?" | `history --days 1` |
| "Sleep history for the week" | `history --days 7 --type sleep` |

## Multi-Child Support

If the account has multiple children, use `--child` / `-c`:
```bash
python3 hb.py --child "Baby Name" sleep-start
```

Without `--child`, commands default to the first child in the account.

## Troubleshooting

**Authentication errors:**
- Verify email/password are correct
- Check credentials file permissions
- Huckleberry doesn't support 2FA for API access

**"No children found":**
- Ensure the account has at least one child profile in the Huckleberry app

**Timer already active:**
- Complete or cancel the existing session before starting a new one

## Technical Notes

- Uses Firebase Firestore via gRPC (same as mobile app)
- Real-time sync: Changes appear immediately in the Huckleberry app
- Token auto-refresh: Sessions stay authenticated
- **Timezone handling:** Huckleberry requires an `offset` field (minutes behind UTC) for entries to display correctly. E.g., PST (UTC-8) = 480 minutes. The CLI automatically calculates this from the configured timezone. Without this field, entries appear at UTC time in the app.

## Notes on All Entry Types

The `--notes` / `-n` parameter is available on all entry types:
- `sleep-complete --notes "Slept through the night!"`
- `feed-complete --notes "Good latch today"`
- `bottle --notes "Logged via AI"`
- `diaper --notes "Checked by AI"`
- `growth --notes "Measured at pediatrician"`

The upstream py-huckleberry-api only supports notes on diaper entries. This skill extends that to all types by updating the Firestore document directly after creation.

## Not Supported by Upstream API

The following features exist in Huckleberry but aren't exposed in the py-huckleberry-api:
- Sleep conditions (happy/upset at start/end)
- Sleep locations (car, nursing, stroller, crib, etc.)

These would require modifying the upstream library to accept additional parameters.
