biometric-intelligence
Uses Oura ring data to make energy-aware decisions about scheduling, task prioritization, and recovery recommendations. Understands HRV, sleep quality, readiness scores, and their implications for productivity.
When & Why to Use This Skill
The Biometric Intelligence skill integrates Oura ring wearable data to enable energy-aware productivity and task prioritization. By analyzing key health metrics such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV), sleep quality, and readiness scores, it helps users align their professional workload with their physiological capacity, optimizing deep work sessions and providing data-driven recovery recommendations to prevent burnout.
Use Cases
- Dynamic Task Prioritization: Automatically adjusting daily to-do lists by matching task complexity to the user's Readiness Score, ensuring high-stakes work is done during peak performance windows.
- Burnout Prevention & Recovery: Monitoring HRV trends to provide proactive recommendations for rest, light movement, or reduced cognitive load when biometric data indicates accumulated stress.
- Strategic Schedule Optimization: Using sleep and recovery insights to decide whether to proceed with intense creative sessions or defer important decision-making to a day with better physiological alignment.

Biometric Intelligence Skill
This skill enables energy-aware decision making using Oura ring biometric data.
Key Metrics from Oura
Readiness Score (0-100)
- 85+: Peak performance day - tackle hard problems
- 70-84: Normal productivity - regular work
- 60-69: Low energy - focus on maintenance tasks
- <60: Recovery needed - minimal cognitive load
Sleep Score (0-100)
- 85+: Well-rested - complex tasks OK
- 70-84: Adequate - normal work capacity
- <70: Sleep debt - prioritize rest, avoid decisions
HRV (Heart Rate Variability)
- Above baseline: Good recovery, stress tolerance high
- Below baseline: Accumulated stress, need recovery
- Trending down: Approaching burnout, reduce load
Activity Balance
- Met goal: Good energy expenditure
- Under goal: May have excess energy, physical activity helps
- Way over: Rest needed, avoid stacking stress
Energy-Aware Scheduling Principles
High Readiness Days (85+)
- Schedule deep work sessions
- Tackle creative or complex problems
- Make important decisions
- Push on challenging goals
- Social/networking activities
Medium Readiness Days (70-84)
- Regular task execution
- Meetings and collaboration
- Administrative work
- Learning and skill building
- Moderate exercise
Low Readiness Days (<70)
- Quick wins and easy tasks
- Reading and passive learning
- Planning (not executing)
- Gentle movement only
- Social media/content consumption
Hunter Brain + Biometrics Patterns
When HRV is Low
- Resistance will be HIGH
- Don't fight it - log and redirect
- Use body doubling or external accountability
- Break tasks into 10-minute chunks
When Sleep Score is Low
- Dopamine regulation is impaired
- Hyperfocus risk (on wrong things)
- Set hard time boundaries
- Avoid starting new projects
Recovery Recommendations
Based on Oura data, recommend:
- Physical: Light walk, stretching, nap
- Mental: No new decisions, routine tasks only
- Social: Low-stakes interactions
- Work: Clear backlog, inbox zero, easy wins
API Integration
The Oura data is available at:
GET /api/oura/daily
Response structure:
{
"readiness": 78,
"sleep_score": 82,
"hrv_balance": "above_baseline",
"activity_score": 65,
"recommendation": "Normal productivity day"
}
Using This Skill
When a user asks about scheduling or prioritization:
- Check current Oura data
- Match task difficulty to energy level
- Suggest appropriate activities
- Warn about low-energy pitfalls
- Recommend recovery if needed
Example response:
Based on your Oura data:
- Readiness: 72 (normal)
- Sleep: 68 (slightly low)
- HRV: below baseline
Recommendation: This is a "maintenance day" not a "breakthrough day."
Focus on:
ā Clearing email backlog
ā Quick task completions
ā Light planning
ā Avoid: Complex coding, important decisions, new initiatives
Consider a 20-min walk to boost HRV before afternoon work.
