Tips for Claude

1. Use JSON format for analysis: When helping users analyze their data, use --format json to get structured data that can be parsed and analyzed.

2. Short IDs are supported: Users can copy short IDs from workouts list output and use them directly in workouts get commands.

3. Pagination: API max page size is 10. Use pagination (--page N) to access older workouts.

4. Error handling: If a command fails:

   • Check if API key is configured (hevycli config show)
   • Verify the user has Hevy Pro subscription
   • Check if the ID exists or is valid

5. Data insights: After retrieving workout data, you can:

   • Calculate training volume (weight × reps × sets)
   • Track progression over time
   • Identify patterns in workout frequency
   • Suggest rest day intervals

Example Interaction

User: "Show me my last 3 workouts"

Claude:

hevycli workouts list --page-size 3

User: "Get details on the first workout"

Claude:

# Using the short ID from the list output
hevycli workouts get f75e9c13

User: "How many total workouts have I completed?"

Claude:

hevycli workouts count
