Weight & Body

How it works

The mechanics of this kit, plainly — what runs and when, where the data lands, and what you look at.

• Body sync runs every day · 7am and keeps the Weight & Body dashboard fresh. Daily — pulls readings from a connected scale, if you have one.
• Weekly read runs sundays · 8am and keeps the Weight & Body dashboard fresh. Sundays — the smoothed line, the rate, and where it gets you.
• What is captured lands in the Body log record, which lives at Data/Body Log in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• What is captured lands in the Body goal record, which lives at Data/Body Goal in your vault — yours to open, search, and edit like any other file.
• The Weight & Body dashboard reads from the record and shows, at a glance: trend and trajectory · weekly change · weigh-ins · days you logged · every reading.

The wiring, in one breath: Weigh-in capture writes to Body log · Goal setting writes to Body goal · Body log shown by Weight & Body · Body goal shown by Weight & Body · Weight & Body kept fresh by Weekly read · Weigh-in capture given to Trace · Goal setting given to Trace · Trace runs Body sync.

Make it yours

Nothing here is fixed. The pieces are ordinary agents, routines, records and dashboards, so anything you know about shaping those applies. Retire whatever earns nothing.

Things people usually change first

Say any of these in chat, or edit them on the kit’s page in the app.

• The goal and the date, or removing the goal entirely.
• When the Sunday read arrives, or turning it off and just keeping the board.
• Whether it tracks measurements as well as weight.
• How much it says back when you log a number — most people want a word, or nothing.

Your first run

Installing starts a short setup conversation — not a form. Answer roughly, correct later.

1. There is nothing to set up. Say "84.2 this morning" in any conversation and it goes on the log.
2. Tell it what you are aiming at and roughly by when, and the trend line gets a target to answer against — or skip that and it just shows the rate you are moving at.
3. The picture is always the smoothed line, never the last reading, so one heavy morning does not read as a setback.
4. If you have a connected health account it will pull weigh-ins for you; if you have not, chat alone works exactly as well and it will not pester you to connect one.

Watch the first pass, then tell it what you would have done differently — that correction teaches it more than any setup could.

The essentials

Learning, preferences and run costs work the same in every kit — so they are covered once, in the Kits guide.
