🤖 How Other Agents Should Interact

First-time Setup Check

water setup

is_setup	What to do
false	Ask: weight OR desired goal. Also ask: "What times do you want water reminders?" (let user configure their schedule). Then use water set_body_weight 80 or water set_goal 3000. Don't assume hardcoded times!
true	Skip setup. Just log water or show status.

❌ Don't Ask

• Reminder schedules after first setup (user already configured)

✅ Do Ask

• "How much water did you drink?"
• Only weight/goal (first time)

Data Format

CSV Format

logged_at,drank_at,date,slot,ml_drank,goal_at_time,message_id

Column	Description
logged_at	When user told you (NOW)
drank_at	When user actually drank (user can specify past time)
date	Derived from drank_at
slot	morning/lunch/afternoon/evening/manual
ml_drank	Amount in ml
goal_at_time	Goal at that moment
message_id	Audit trail - link to conversation

Key Rules:

• drank_at is MANDATORY - always required
• If user doesn't specify drank_at → assume drank_at = logged_at
• Cumulative is calculated at query time (not stored)
• Use drank_at to determine which day counts

Details at references/log_format.md

Audit Trail

Every water log entry captures:

• message_id: Links to the conversation message where user requested the log
• Auto-capture: CLI automatically gets message_id from session transcript
• Proof: Use water audit <message_id> to get entry + conversation context

# Check proof of a water entry
water audit msg_123
# Returns: entry data + surrounding messages for context

⚠️ Privacy Notice: The audit feature can read your conversation transcripts, but only when you explicitly run water audit <message_id>. This is off by default (audit_auto_capture: false).

# Edit water_config.json and set:
"audit_auto_capture": true

How it works:

• Water log always saves the message_id (regardless of this setting) ✅
• When you run water audit <message_id>:
  • If false: Shows entry data only (message_id saved, but no context read)
  • If true: Also reads transcript to show conversation context ("User said: I drank 500ml")

Why disable it? If you discuss sensitive topics and don't need proof of intake, leave it off.

Rules (MUST FOLLOW)

1. ALWAYS use CLI - never calculate manually
2. LLM interprets first - "eu tomei 2 copos" → 500ml → water log 500
3. Threshold from CLI - run water threshold, don't hardcode
4. GOAL is USER'S CHOICE - weight × 35 is just a DEFAULT suggestion:
   • At setup: Ask weight → suggest goal → CONFIRM with user
   • On weight update: Ask "Want to update your goal to the new suggested amount?"
   • User can set any goal (doctor's orders, preference, etc.)

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Data Location

User data is stored in the AGENT WORKSPACE, NOT in the skill folder!

Data	Location
water_log.csv	<agent-workspace>/memory/data/water_log.csv
water_config.json	<agent-workspace>/memory/data/water_config.json
body_metrics.csv	`/memory/data/body_metrics.csv

Example path: /home/oriel/.openclaw/workspace/memory/data/

Why? Keeps user data separate from skill code — makes backups, migrations, and skill updates easier.

Notifications Schedule

Type	When	Command
User Configured	Per user's schedule	water status
Default Suggestion	9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm	water status
Dynamic	Every ~30 min (heartbeat)	water dynamic
Weekly	Sunday 8pm	analytics week
Monthly	2nd day 8pm	analytics month

Notification Rules (MUST FOLLOW)

• USER CONFIGURES THEIR SCHEDULE — Agent should ask user: "What times do you want water reminders?" and respect that
• NO "no log" skip logic — Always send notifications when scheduled, don't skip because user hasn't logged water
• Notifications STIMULATE logging — That's the point! Don't assume user will log on their own

⚠️ Bug Fix (Feb 2026)

The water dynamic command had a bug where the hourly notification counter wouldn't reset when the hour changed. This is now fixed:

• The script now checks if the current hour differs from last_extra_hour and resets the counter accordingly
• This ensures notifications work correctly after hour boundaries (e.g., 4PM)

⚠️ Bug Fix (Feb 2026) - Analytics

The analyticsPM → 5 week and analytics month commands had a bug:

• Was looking for non-existent cumulative_ml column in CSV
• Fixed to sum ml_drank per day instead

✅ How to Build Good Weekly/Monthly Reports

Use these functions (don't reinvent):

Report	Script	Function
Weekly	water_coach.py analytics week	analytics_week() in water_coach.py
Monthly	water_coach.py analytics month	analytics_month() in water_coach.py

These call get_week_stats() and get_month_stats() in water.py.

When updating analytics functions, follow these rules:

1. Include ALL days, even with 0ml

# In get_week_stats() / get_month_stats()
# Include every day in the range, not just days with data
for i in range(days):
    d = (date.today() - timedelta(days=i)).strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
    ml = by_date.get(d, {}).get("ml", 0)  # Default to 0, not skip

2. Calculate true average

# Average = total_ml / ALL days (including zeros), not just tracked days
avg_ml = total_ml / days  # e.g., 15440ml / 7 days = 2205ml/day

3. Show all days in table format

| Dia | ML | % | Status |
| Sab 22 | 2250ml | 67.7% | ⚠️ |
| Seg 17 | 0ml | 0.0% | ❌ |

This gives users an accurate picture of their habits!

Tests

python3 -m pytest skills/water-coach/scripts/test/test_water.py -v

Example

User: "eu tomei 2 copos"
Agent: (LLM interprets: 2 copos ≈ 500ml)
Agent: exec("water_coach.py water log 500")
→ Python logs to CSV
