Function Health — Printing Press CLI
Prerequisites: Install the CLI
This skill drives the function-health-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:
- Install via the Printing Press installer:
npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install function-health --cli-only - Verify:
function-health-pp-cli --version - Ensure
$GOPATH/bin(or$HOME/go/bin) is on$PATH.
If the npx install fails before this CLI has a public-library category, install Node or use the category-specific Go fallback after publish.
If --version reports "command not found" after install, the install step did not put the binary on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.
Function Health gives you a great single-round dashboard but no way to see what's drifting across years of draws — and no way to share a clean, branded lab history with your physician. function-health-pp-cli pulls every round into a local SQLite store with FTS5, exposes cross-round trend analysis nobody else offers (goat, biomarker trend, biomarkers trending, biomarkers oscillating), and renders a Function-branded PDF with your name and date of birth that an MD can read in 30 seconds.
When to Use This CLI
Reach for function-health-pp-cli whenever an agent is asked to reason about lab trends over time, to prioritize which biomarker the user should worry about, or to produce an artifact a clinician will actually read. It is the right tool when the question requires joining data across multiple test rounds, when the user wants a branded PDF for a doctor, or when an agent needs a focused Markdown context block for one biomarker rather than the entire JSON export. It is the wrong tool for one-off single-result lookups on a draw that hasn't been synced yet — for those, run sync first or query the Function web app directly.
When Not to Use This CLI
Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis.
Unique Capabilities
These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.
Doctor-ready outputs
export pdf-for-doctor— Render a Function-branded multi-round lab report PDF with your name and date of birth, suitable for emailing to your personal physician.When an agent needs to produce something the user will hand to a third party, this is the durable artifact — not a JSON blob.
function-health-pp-cli export pdf-for-doctor --out ~/Downloads/function-history.pdf
Local-SQL trend analysis
biomarker trend— Every value of a biomarker across every round you've ever drawn, with the delta from Function's optimal range, an ASCII sparkline in the terminal, and structured JSON for agents.When the agent is asked 'how has X changed', this is the one query that answers it without re-fetching anything.
function-health-pp-cli biomarker trend ApoB --jsongoat— Ranks every biomarker by distance-from-optimal multiplied by its slope-away-from-optimal across the last 3 rounds; returns the single most worrying biomarker right now with reasoning fields.When the agent is asked 'what should I worry about', this is the one-call answer.
function-health-pp-cli goat --agentbiomarkers trending— Lists every biomarker whose slope across the last N rounds points away from Function's optimal range, sorted by magnitude.Lets the agent prioritize a long biomarker list without burning the user's context window on every reading.
function-health-pp-cli biomarkers trending --direction worse --last 3 --jsoncategory trend— For one of the ~13 categories, returns a per-round aggregate score (percent of biomarkers inside Function's optimal range) over time.Rolls up 100+ biomarkers into a single trajectory per body system, so the agent can summarize organ-level changes.
function-health-pp-cli category trend cardiovascular --jsonbiomarkers oscillating— Biomarkers that crossed the optimal-range boundary at least twice in the last N rounds — flags instability separate from trend.Distinguishes 'unstable measurement noise' from 'consistently bad' — important when the agent is reasoning about whether a single high reading matters.
function-health-pp-cli biomarkers oscillating --rounds 4recommendations stale— Recommendations (supplements / foods) whose target biomarker is STILL outside Function's optimal range, joined by Quest code. The /recommendations endpoint has no issued-date, so staleness is by outcome not age; --min-rounds tightens to persistence and --group (supplements, foods_to_eat, foods_to_avoid) focuses a large set.Closes the loop between guidance and outcome — the agent can ask 'did the last fix work?' instead of 'what is recommended now?'.
function-health-pp-cli recommendations stale --json
Agent-native plumbing
bundle— Composes a single Markdown file with a biomarker's full history, every clinician note mentioning it (FTS5), Function's optimal range, and relevant recommendations — ready to paste into Claude or ChatGPT.When the agent is being asked to draft a question for the user's clinician, this is the prefab context block.

Finding the right command
When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:
function-health-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"
which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.
Recipes
Morning check-in
function-health-pp-cli sync check && function-health-pp-cli goat
Cheap incremental sync, then the single most-worrying biomarker right now — both calls are local after the first sync.
Doctor-ready PDF
function-health-pp-cli export pdf-for-doctor --out ~/Downloads/heart.pdf --section Heart --out-of-range
Branded multi-round report with member name and DOB header, per-category sections, per-biomarker history. --out-of-range keeps only biomarkers outside Function's optimal range in their latest draw; --section
Narrow JSON for agents
function-health-pp-cli biomarker trend ApoB --agent --select \\brounds.draw_date,rounds.value,rounds.status\\b
Strip the response down to the three fields an agent actually reasons about; --select accepts dotted paths into nested response objects.
LLM context bundle
function-health-pp-cli bundle hs-CRP --window 3rounds | pbcopy
Compose a Markdown context block — history + clinician notes + recommendations — and paste into Claude or ChatGPT for a focused conversation.
Stale-rec audit
function-health-pp-cli recommendations stale --group supplements --json
Recommendations (supplements / foods) whose target biomarker is still outside Function's optimal range, joined by Quest code. The endpoint carries no issued-date, so staleness is by outcome, not age; --min-rounds N tightens to persistence and --group focuses one set.
Auth Setup
Function Health blocks Firebase REST email/password sign-in at the project level, so function-health-pp-cli auth login with --email/--password does not work and auth login --chrome is unreliable. The working path is auth set-token: log in to https://my.functionhealth.com in Chrome, open DevTools (Cmd+Option+I) -> Network, copy the authorization: Bearer <token> value from any member-app-mid.functionhealth.com/api/v1/... request, then run function-health-pp-cli auth set-token <token>. The token is stored in ~/.config/function-health-pp-cli/config.toml (mode 0600) and lasts ~1 hour; re-run auth set-token on HTTP 401. Set FUNCTION_HEALTH_TOKEN to override for CI or one-shot use.
Run function-health-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.
Agent Mode
Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.
Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr
Filterable —
--selectkeeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:function-health-pp-cli biomarkers list --agent --select id,name,statusPreviewable —
--dry-runshows the request without sendingOffline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available
Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag
Read-only — do not use this CLI for create, update, delete, publish, comment, upvote, invite, order, send, or other mutating requests
Response envelope
Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:
{
"meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
"results": <data>
}
Parse .results for data and .meta.source to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable N results (live) summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal AND no machine-format flag (--json, --csv, --compact, --quiet, --plain, --select) is set — piped/agent consumers and explicit-format runs get pure JSON on stdout.
Agent Feedback
When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:
function-health-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
function-health-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
function-health-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10
Entries are stored locally at ~/.local/share/function-health-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless FUNCTION_HEALTH_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or FUNCTION_HEALTH_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true. Default behavior is local-only.
Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.
Output Delivery
Every command accepts --deliver <sink>. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:
| Sink | Effect |
|---|---|
stdout |
Default; write to stdout only |
file:<path> |
Atomically write output to <path> (tmp + rename) |
webhook:<url> |
POST the output body to the URL (application/json or application/x-ndjson when --compact) |
Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.
Named Profiles
A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.
function-health-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
function-health-pp-cli --profile briefing biomarkers list
function-health-pp-cli profile list --json
function-health-pp-cli profile show briefing
function-health-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes
Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults. agent-context lists all available profiles under available_profiles so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.
