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-exercise in 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
