Biometric Intelligence

Biometric Intelligence Skill

This skill enables energy-aware decision making using Oura ring biometric data.

Key Metrics from Oura

Readiness Score (0-100)

• 85+: Peak performance day - tackle hard problems
• 70-84: Normal productivity - regular work
• 60-69: Low energy - focus on maintenance tasks
• <60: Recovery needed - minimal cognitive load

Sleep Score (0-100)

• 85+: Well-rested - complex tasks OK
• 70-84: Adequate - normal work capacity
• <70: Sleep debt - prioritize rest, avoid decisions

HRV (Heart Rate Variability)

• Above baseline: Good recovery, stress tolerance high
• Below baseline: Accumulated stress, need recovery
• Trending down: Approaching burnout, reduce load

Activity Balance

• Met goal: Good energy expenditure
• Under goal: May have excess energy, physical activity helps
• Way over: Rest needed, avoid stacking stress

Energy-Aware Scheduling Principles

High Readiness Days (85+)

• Schedule deep work sessions
• Tackle creative or complex problems
• Make important decisions
• Push on challenging goals
• Social/networking activities

Medium Readiness Days (70-84)

• Regular task execution
• Meetings and collaboration
• Administrative work
• Learning and skill building
• Moderate exercise

Low Readiness Days (<70)

• Quick wins and easy tasks
• Reading and passive learning
• Planning (not executing)
• Gentle movement only
• Social media/content consumption

Hunter Brain + Biometrics Patterns

When HRV is Low

• Resistance will be HIGH
• Don't fight it - log and redirect
• Use body doubling or external accountability
• Break tasks into 10-minute chunks

When Sleep Score is Low

• Dopamine regulation is impaired
• Hyperfocus risk (on wrong things)
• Set hard time boundaries
• Avoid starting new projects

Recovery Recommendations

Based on Oura data, recommend:

1. Physical: Light walk, stretching, nap
2. Mental: No new decisions, routine tasks only
3. Social: Low-stakes interactions
4. Work: Clear backlog, inbox zero, easy wins

API Integration

The Oura data is available at:

GET /api/oura/daily

Response structure:

{
  "readiness": 78,
  "sleep_score": 82,
  "hrv_balance": "above_baseline",
  "activity_score": 65,
  "recommendation": "Normal productivity day"
}

Using This Skill

When a user asks about scheduling or prioritization:

1. Check current Oura data
2. Match task difficulty to energy level
3. Suggest appropriate activities
4. Warn about low-energy pitfalls
5. Recommend recovery if needed

Example response:

Based on your Oura data:
- Readiness: 72 (normal)
- Sleep: 68 (slightly low)
- HRV: below baseline

Recommendation: This is a "maintenance day" not a "breakthrough day."
Focus on:
✓ Clearing email backlog
✓ Quick task completions
✓ Light planning
✗ Avoid: Complex coding, important decisions, new initiatives

Consider a 20-min walk to boost HRV before afternoon work.
