Agent Instructions

**Important:** The skill is located at `workspace/calorie-counter/` in your agent's workspace. All commands should use this path prefix.

When user mentions food:

1. Extract food name, calories, and protein (estimate if not provided)

2. Run: `python3 workspace/calorie-counter/scripts/calorie_tracker.py add "food" CALORIES PROTEIN`

3. The command outputs immediate totals (no need to run summary separately)

Example:

When user wants remaining calories:

1. Run: `python3 workspace/calorie-counter/scripts/calorie_tracker.py summary`

When user sets a goal:

1. Run: `python3 workspace/calorie-counter/scripts/calorie_tracker.py goal CALORIES`

When user logs weight:

1. Convert to pounds if needed (1 kg ≈ 2.205 lbs)

2. Run: `python3 workspace/calorie-counter/scripts/calorie_tracker.py weight POUNDS`

When user wants to delete entry:

1. Run: `python3 workspace/calorie-counter/scripts/calorie_tracker.py list` to show IDs

2. Run: `python3 workspace/calorie-counter/scripts/calorie_tracker.py delete ID`

Protein Estimation Guide

If user doesn't specify protein, estimate based on food type:

When uncertain, estimate conservatively or ask the user.
