Setup Vibereps

Guide users through first-time vibereps configuration.

Setup Flow

Step 1: Ask Exercise Preferences

Use AskUserQuestion to ask:

Question: "Which exercises do you want to do?"
Header: "Exercises"
MultiSelect: true
Options:
- squats: "Lower body strength, good for desk workers"
- jumping_jacks: "Cardio, gets blood flowing quickly"
- calf_raises: "Subtle, can do while standing at desk"
- standing_crunches: "Core workout, elbow to opposite knee"
- side_stretches: "Flexibility, relieves back tension"
- pushups: "Upper body, requires floor space"

Step 2: Ask Trigger Preference

Question: "When should exercises trigger?"
Header: "Trigger"
Options:
- "After edits (Recommended)": "Exercise after Claude writes/edits code"
- "After tasks": "Exercise when Claude completes a task"
- "Manual only": "Only when you run the tracker yourself"

Step 3: Configure Hook

Based on answers, add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

After edits:

{
  "hooks": {
    "PostToolUse": [{
      "matcher": "Write|Edit|MultiEdit",
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "VIBEREPS_EXERCISES={exercises} {vibereps_dir}/exercise_tracker.py post_tool_use '{}'"
      }]
    }],
    "Notification": [{
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "{vibereps_dir}/notify_complete.py '{}'"
      }]
    }]
  }
}

After tasks:

{
  "hooks": {
    "TaskComplete": [{
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "VIBEREPS_EXERCISES={exercises} {vibereps_dir}/exercise_tracker.py task_complete '{}'"
      }]
    }],
    "Notification": [{
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "{vibereps_dir}/notify_complete.py '{}'"
      }]
    }]
  }
}

Replace {vibereps_dir} with the actual path (e.g., ~/.vibereps or the repo path). Replace {exercises} with comma-separated exercise list (e.g., squats,jumping_jacks,calf_raises).

Step 4: Test

Run a quick test:

./exercise_tracker.py user_prompt_submit '{}'

Important Paths

  • Hook script: Use $PWD/exercise_tracker.py if in repo, or ~/.vibereps/exercise_tracker.py if installed via curl
  • UI file: exercise_ui.html (same directory as hook script)
  • Settings: ~/.claude/settings.json

Detecting Install Location

Check which exists:

if [[ -f "$HOME/.vibereps/exercise_tracker.py" ]]; then
    VIBEREPS_DIR="$HOME/.vibereps"
elif [[ -f "./exercise_tracker.py" ]]; then
    VIBEREPS_DIR="$(pwd)"
fi

Disable Later

To temporarily disable, add VIBEREPS_DISABLED=1 to the hook command.
