What this skill does
MyFitnessPal — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the myfitnesspal-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows: 2. Verify: myfitnesspal-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer): If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. When to Use This CLI Reach for this CLI when an agent needs to reason over a user's actual eating, exercise, or weight history — especially across windows longer than today. The local SQLite store + agent-shaped context command means one tool call replaces the back-and-forth of pasting yesterday's diary into the chat. Use it for nutrition coaching, deficit calibration, macro analysis, recall questions ('every time I logged X'), and anywhere the official MFP UI's per-meal rollup blocks the question. Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. Local state that compounds export csv — Export your food diary to CSV with one row per logged food, not per meal. Premium MFP only ships per-meal CSVs. Reach for this when an agent needs the user's full eating history at food granularity for analysis, training, or long-form coaching memory. analytics top-foods — Pareto query: which N foods drove X% of your protein/carbs/fat/fiber/sugar/calories over a window? Use when an agent is helping the user understand what's actually driving a macro target, not what they think is. …
