| name | health-sleep-analysis |
| description | Analyze sleep health data from Apple HealthKit, including sleep stages (Deep/REM/Core/Awake), blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) during sleep, sleep duration trends, bedtime patterns, resting heart rate, and HRV. Use this skill whenever the user asks about sleep quality, sleep analysis, blood oxygen during sleep, sleep stages breakdown, sleep trends over time, heart rate, HRV, or any health data analysis involving sleep or cardiac health. Triggers on: "sleep analysis", "blood oxygen", "sleep quality", "deep sleep", "REM sleep", "resting heart rate", "HRV", and similar in any language. |
Sleep Health Analysis Skill
Fetch sleep, SpO2, heart rate, and HRV data from Apple HealthKit, analyze it, and produce visual reports.
Language Rules (IMPORTANT)
Detect the language of the user's message and apply it consistently throughout the entire response:
- Written analysis, conclusions, health advice -> user's language
- Chart/image text labels, titles, axes, legend, insight cards, footer -> user's language
- Code, script internals, variable names -> English (always)
- When rendering SVG charts: pass a
--lang argument to the rendering scripts; the scripts will localize all on-chart text automatically
Supported --lang values: zh (Chinese, default), en (English), ja (Japanese)
If the user writes in another language, fall back to en for chart text and reply in their language.
Pre-built Scripts (call directly, no rewriting needed)
| Script | Purpose |
|---|
sleep_report_data.py | Extract 7-day report JSON from raw HealthKit data |
sleep_report_librsvg.py | Render 7-day weekly report card -> SVG + PNG via rsvg-convert |
sleep_month_trend_librsvg.py | Render 30-day monthly trend -> SVG + PNG via rsvg-convert |
sleep_halfyear.py | Long-term trend (30+ days), matplotlib charts |
cardiac_analysis.py | Cardiac health: RHR, HRV, SpO2, max HR |
Quick Start
Step 1 -- Install dependencies
apk add rsvg-convert font-noto-cjk -q
python3 -c "import matplotlib, numpy" 2>/dev/null || apk add py3-matplotlib py3-numpy -q
Step 2 -- Fetch data (write to /tmp to avoid workspace sync delay)
apple-healthkit sleep --days 8 --compact -q > /tmp/sleep_raw.json
apple-healthkit blood-oxygen --days 8 --limit 2000 --compact -q > /tmp/spo2_raw.json
apple-healthkit sleep --days 31 --compact -q > /tmp/sleep_raw.json
apple-healthkit blood-oxygen --days 31 --limit 5000 --compact -q > /tmp/spo2_raw.json
Important: Always write raw data to /tmp/ first (not /var/minis/workspace/). The workspace directory has an iSH iOS sync delay that causes stale reads. Copy to workspace only after scripts finish.
Step 3 -- Run the appropriate script
python3 /var/minis/skills/health-sleep-analysis/sleep_report_data.py \
--sleep /tmp/sleep_raw.json --spo2 /tmp/spo2_raw.json \
--out /tmp/sleep_report_7d.json
python3 /var/minis/skills/health-sleep-analysis/sleep_report_librsvg.py \
--data /tmp/sleep_report_7d.json \
--out-prefix /tmp/sleep_report_7d \
--lang zh
python3 /var/minis/skills/health-sleep-analysis/sleep_month_trend_librsvg.py \
--days 30 \
--sleep /tmp/sleep_raw.json --spo2 /tmp/spo2_raw.json \
--out-prefix /tmp/sleep_month_trend \
--lang zh
apple-healthkit sleep --days 186 --compact -q > /tmp/sleep_raw.json
apple-healthkit blood-oxygen --days 186 --limit 10000 --compact -q > /tmp/spo2_raw.json
python3 /var/minis/skills/health-sleep-analysis/sleep_longterm_librsvg.py \
--period halfyear \
--sleep /tmp/sleep_raw.json --spo2 /tmp/spo2_raw.json \
--out-prefix /tmp/sleep_halfyear \
--lang zh
apple-healthkit sleep --days 366 --compact -q > /tmp/sleep_raw.json
apple-healthkit blood-oxygen --days 366 --limit 10000 --compact -q > /tmp/spo2_raw.json
python3 /var/minis/skills/health-sleep-analysis/sleep_longterm_librsvg.py \
--period year \
--sleep /tmp/sleep_raw.json --spo2 /tmp/spo2_raw.json \
--out-prefix /tmp/sleep_year \
--lang zh
DAYS=185
cd /var/minis/workspace
apple-healthkit sleep --days $((DAYS+1)) --compact -q > sleep_raw.json
apple-healthkit blood-oxygen --days $((DAYS+1)) --limit 10000 --compact -q > spo2_raw.json
python3 /var/minis/skills/health-sleep-analysis/sleep_halfyear.py
apple-healthkit heart-rate --days 30 --limit 5000 --compact -q > /tmp/hr_raw.json
apple-healthkit hrv --days 30 --limit 500 --compact -q > /tmp/hrv_raw.json
python3 /var/minis/skills/health-sleep-analysis/cardiac_analysis.py
Step 4 -- Copy output and display
cp /tmp/sleep_report_7d.png /var/minis/workspace/sleep_report_7d.png
cp /tmp/sleep_month_trend.png /var/minis/workspace/sleep_month_trend.png
Display in chat with Markdown inline images. Follow up with a written analysis in the user's language.

Data Processing
Night attribution rule
Records between 00:00-13:59 belong to the previous calendar day (same sleep session):
def sleep_date(dt):
return (dt - timedelta(days=1)).date() if dt.hour < 14 else dt.date()
Sleep stage mapping
| HealthKit value | Stage |
|---|
asleepDeep | Deep |
asleepREM | REM |
asleepCore | Core (light) |
awake | Awake |
inBed | In-bed (excluded) |
HealthKit JSON field names
Raw samples use start / end (not startDate / endDate). Always check both:
ss = s.get('startDate') or s.get('start')
ee = s.get('endDate') or s.get('end')
Workspace sync delay
Writing large files directly to /var/minis/workspace/ can result in iSH reading a stale cached version. Always:
- Write data and outputs to
/tmp/
- Run scripts with
/tmp/ paths
cp final PNGs to /var/minis/workspace/ for display
Health Standards
Sleep duration
| Range | Rating |
|---|
| >= 7h | Sufficient |
| 6-7h | Slightly short |
| < 6h | Insufficient (adults need 7-9h) |
Sleep stages
| Stage | Healthy % | Function |
|---|
| Deep | >= 13% | Physical recovery, immunity, memory |
| REM | 20-25% | Emotion regulation, cognition |
| Core | 45-55% | Transitional |
SpO2
| Range | Rating |
|---|
| >= 95% | Normal |
| 90-94% | Low, monitor |
| < 90% | Dangerous, seek medical advice |
Frequent drops below 95% (>20% of readings) or any reading below 90% warrants evaluation for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), especially with snoring, daytime sleepiness, or morning headaches.
Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
| Range | Rating |
|---|
| < 40 bpm | Too low, consult doctor |
| 40-60 bpm | Excellent (athlete level) |
| 60-80 bpm | Normal |
| 80-100 bpm | Elevated |
| > 100 bpm | Tachycardia, consult doctor |
Estimate RHR from raw heart rate data (lowest 25% of daily readings):
vals = sorted(by_day[date])
rhr = mean(vals[:max(1, len(vals)//4)])
HRV (SDNN)
| Range | Rating |
|---|
| >= 50 ms | Good |
| 30-50 ms | Fair |
| < 30 ms | Low autonomic function |
Common Issues
Q: Only a few SpO2 readings?
A: Add --limit, use 2000 for short-term, 10000 for long-term.
Q: Chinese/Japanese characters show as boxes?
A: Run apk add font-noto-cjk first.
Q: Missing data for some nights?
A: Apple Watch likely not worn; nights with < 1h total are auto-filtered.
Q: Chart still shows stale data after re-running?
A: Write outputs to /tmp/ and use --sleep /tmp/... --spo2 /tmp/... arguments. Copy PNG to workspace only for display.
Q: 30-day chart shows only 6-7 bars?
A: The workspace JSON is stale. Fetch fresh data to /tmp/ and pass /tmp/ paths explicitly to the script.
