Introducing SweatStack Skills

You know the idea by now: SweatStack handles the context: wearable integrations, data pipelines, authentication. You focus on your core: the training logic and experience that make your app worth using.

AI coding assistants provide a similar value. They handle the boring parts: boilerplate code, API details, tedious implementation. You focus on what you are good at and what actually matters.

SweatStack Skills brings these together. Install once, and your AI assistant knows SweatStack's APIs, auth flows, and data formats. No more pasting documentation into chat or explaining the same things repeatedly. Just describe what you want to build.

In a hurry? 
curl -LsSf https://sweatstack.no/install-skills | sh

Then ask Claude Code: "Help me build me a simple web app powered by SweatStack app that lists my recent activities"

What are Agent Skills?

AI assistants are general-purpose. They know a lot, but they don't know your specific tools and APIs. At least not in detail.

Agent Skills solve this. A skill is a folder of instructions, scripts, and resources that agents can discover and use. Once installed, the agent understands the OAuth flows, endpoints, data formats, and common patterns for a specific tool or service.

Agent Skills are an open format supported by Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and many other tools.

SweatStack Skills

We have now published skills for SweatStack. Install them once, and your AI assistant understands:

  • How to implement SweatStack authentication
  • All API endpoints and their parameters
  • How to parse the Parquet data format
  • Common implementation patterns and pitfalls

At the moment, the SweatStack skill contains these references:

  • webapp-guide.md: Instructions for building single-file HTML web applications, including styling and deployment. This is perfect for quickly prototyping an idea.
  • api.md: Complete API reference with endpoints, data formats, and troubleshooting.

Note

You don't have to call these references explicitly. Just mention that you want to build something with SweatStack and your AI agent will figure out what it needs.

Getting started

Install the skill for Claude Code:

For project-level installation:

curl -LsSf https://sweatstack.no/install-skills | sh

For global installation (available across all your projects):

curl -LsSf https://sweatstack.no/install-skills | sh -s -- --global

Tip: Running this command again will update the skill to the latest version.

For Claude.ai:

Download the skill as a ZIP file and upload it via Settings → Features → Skills.

For Cursor, VS Code, etc:

Agent Skills are an open format. Check your tool's documentation for skill installation.

Example prompts

Once installed, try these:

  • "Help me build a simple web app powered by SweatStack that lists my recent activities"
  • "Help me build a simple web app powered by SweatStack that shows my weekly training load trend"

What's next

This is just the beginning. We're curious what people will build when the friction of learning an API disappears.

The skills are open source. If something is unclear or missing, let us know. Also let us know if you have ideas or request for other SweatStack specific skills we can add.
