Setup Flow
Step 1: Ask Exercise Mode (Standing vs Seated)
Use AskUserQuestion to ask about exercise preference:
Question: "What type of exercises would you like?"
Header: "Mode"
MultiSelect: false
Options:
- "Standing & Seated (Recommended)": "Full variety - squats, jumping jacks, plus desk-friendly neck stretches"
- "Standing only": "Active exercises - squats, jumping jacks, push-ups, calf raises"
- "Seated only": "Desk-friendly - shoulder shrugs, neck stretches"
Step 2: Ask Which Exercises
Based on their mode choice, show relevant exercises:
Standing exercises:
- squats: "Lower body strength, counters hip flexor tightness"
- 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"
- high_knees: "Cardio, raises heart rate"
- torso_twists: "Core mobility, loosens spine"
- arm_circles: "Shoulder mobility, easy warmup"
Seated exercises:
- shoulder_shrugs: "Releases neck and shoulder tension"
- neck_tilts: "Stretches sides of neck"
- neck_rotations: "Improves neck mobility"
Use AskUserQuestion with MultiSelect: true to let them pick specific exercises from the filtered list.
Step 3: Ask About Custom Exercises
Question: "Would you like to add your own custom exercises?"
Header: "Custom"
MultiSelect: false
Options:
- "No, use selected exercises": "Start with the exercises you chose"
- "Yes, show me how": "Learn how to create custom exercise detection"
If they choose "Yes", tell them:
- Run
/add-exercisein Claude Code to create a new exercise with guided setup - Or manually create JSON configs in the
exercises/directory
Step 4: Find Install Location
if [[ -f "$HOME/.vibereps/exercise_tracker.py" ]]; then
echo "$HOME/.vibereps"
else
echo "$(pwd)"
fi
Step 5: Configure Hooks
Read existing ~/.claude/settings.json and update the PostToolUse hook with selected exercises:
{
"hooks": {
"PostToolUse": [{
"matcher": "Write|Edit|MultiEdit",
"hooks": [{
"type": "command",
"command": "VIBEREPS_EXERCISES={exercises} {vibereps_dir}/exercise_tracker.py post_tool_use '{}'"
}]
}],
"Notification": [{
"matcher": "",
"hooks": [{
"type": "command",
"command": "{vibereps_dir}/notify_complete.py '{}'"
}]
}]
}
}
Replace:
{vibereps_dir}with the detected path (use full path, not ~){exercises}with comma-separated exercise list (e.g.,squats,jumping_jacks,shoulder_shrugs)
Use Edit tool to update the settings file, preserving other settings.
Step 6: Summary
Show a summary:
Setup complete!
Selected exercises: squats, jumping_jacks, shoulder_shrugs, neck_rotations
How it works:
1. Claude edits a file → Exercise tracker launches
2. Do a quick exercise while Claude works
3. Get notified when Claude is ready!
Useful commands:
- /test-tracker - Test the exercise tracker
- /add-exercise - Create a custom exercise
- /tune-detection - Adjust detection if reps aren't counting
To change exercises later, run /setup-vibereps again.
Important Notes
- Always use absolute paths in hooks (not ~, use full $HOME path)
- The Notification hook should have an empty matcher "" to catch all notifications
- Preserve existing hooks and settings when updating settings.json
