Daily Accountability Agent — Routine Check-ins with Escalating Pressure

[BenSpex]

Overview

Build an autonomous agent that checks in with Ben daily to enforce accountability across five health pillars. The agent should feel like a sharp, no-BS coach — not a wellness app notification. It pulls real data from HealthTracker's InfluxDB/Grafana stack to verify claims and call out gaps.

Health Pillars to Track

Pillar	Data Source	Check-in Method
🧊 Ice Bath	Manual log / future sensor	Did you do it? Duration? Temperature?
🏋️ CrossFit	Manual log / Fitbit HR data	Workout logged? Intensity check via HR zones
🧘 Meditation	Manual log / future app integration	Duration? Type? Consistency streak
🍽️ Food	Manual log / photo-based tracking	What did you eat? On plan? Deviation notes
😴 Sleep	Fitbit via InfluxDB (already integrated)	Auto-pull sleep score, duration, deep sleep %

Agent Behavior

Daily Check-in Flow

1. Morning ping (configurable time) — brief motivational + reminder of today's routine
2. Evening review (configurable time) — asks about each pillar, logs responses
3. Auto-verify where possible — pull Fitbit sleep/HR data from InfluxDB (http://influxdb:8086) to cross-reference self-reports

Escalation Model ("Gentle Neg → Drill Sergeant")

The agent tracks a streak score per pillar and an overall compliance % over rolling 7/30-day windows.

Compliance Level	Tone	Example
>90%	Encouraging, light	"Solid week. You actually showed up."
70-90%	Direct, pointed	"You skipped ice bath twice this week. That's becoming a pattern."
50-70%	Blunt, no sugar	"3 missed workouts. You're paying for CrossFit to not go."
<50%	Savage accountability	"You meditated once in 10 days. Your nervous system wants a refund."

• Escalation should feel earned, not random hostility
• Track compliance trends — reward genuine streaks, call out backsliding
• Weekly summary with honest assessment + comparison to previous week

Data Integration

• Read from: InfluxDB at http://influxdb:8086 for Fitbit data (sleep, HR, steps)
• Write to: InfluxDB or PostgreSQL for accountability logs, compliance scores, streak data
• Dashboard: Grafana at http://192.168.77.125:3000/ — create an accountability dashboard panel
• Credentials: Check .env / Docker secrets on the NAS for InfluxDB/Grafana passwords

Technical Considerations

• Agent runs as a new service in the existing Docker Compose stack
• Communication channel: TBD (Slack webhook? SMS via Twilio? Push notification? Chat integration with bens_agents?)
• Should integrate with bens_agents framework so Jenna can report on compliance during morning briefings
• Consider a /health slash command or natural conversation trigger
• Store check-in history for trend analysis and weekly/monthly reports

Stretch Goals

• 📸 Food photo logging with vision model analysis
• 🌡️ Auto-detect ice bath via temperature sensor integration
• 📊 Correlation analysis: does meditation streak affect sleep quality? Does CrossFit frequency impact resting HR?
• 🏆 Monthly scorecards with honest self-assessment prompts

Acceptance Criteria

• Agent pings daily at configured times
• Tracks all 5 pillars with manual + auto data where available
• Escalation tone adjusts based on rolling compliance window
• Sleep data auto-pulled from Fitbit/InfluxDB
• Weekly summary generated with trend comparison
• Compliance data visible in Grafana dashboard
• Integrates with bens_agents for cross-agent awareness
