What it does

Oura is an agent skill from vellum-ai/vellum-assistant. Pull sleep, activity, readiness, heart rate, and other health data from a connected Oura Ring via the Oura Cloud API V2

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Vellum personal assistants

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Health and fitness tracking. The repository describes itself as: An AI Assistant that’s easy to setup, does your work 24/7, knows your preferences and gets better over time. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Health and fitness tracking

Example prompts

“/oura”

Requirements

A credential in REFRESH_TOKEN
A credential in CLIENT_SECRET
Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Vellum personal assistants

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 33cc983. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- curl
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- api.ouraring.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- REFRESH_TOKEN
- CLIENT_SECRET
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Designed for Vellum personal assistants
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Oura loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 350 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Oura Ring — Data Access

Pull sleep, activity, readiness, heart rate, and other health data from a connected Oura Ring via the Oura Cloud API V2.

For initial setup (OAuth, app registration, token exchange), see the oura-setup skill.

Prerequisites

Oura Ring already connected via OAuth (see oura-setup skill)
Credential stored: oura / access_token with injection template for api.ouraring.com (Authorization header, Bearer prefix)
Credential ID can be found via assistant credentials list --search oura (filter for field access_token)

Making Requests

All requests go through the credential proxy — no need to manually attach tokens.

bash

curl -s "https://api.ouraring.com/v2/usercollection/{endpoint}?start_date=YYYY-MM-DD&end_date=YYYY-MM-DD"

Run via bash with:

network_mode: "proxied"
credential_ids: ["<oura access_token credential_id>"]

Endpoints

Endpoint	What It Returns	Best For
`personal_info`	Age, weight, height, email	Connection test
`daily_sleep`	Sleep score, duration, efficiency, stages	Morning check-in
`sleep`	Detailed sleep periods — HR, HRV, movement, timestamps	Deep sleep analysis
`daily_readiness`	Readiness score, HRV balance, recovery index	Morning readiness
`daily_activity`	Steps, calories, movement, MET data, activity score	Daily activity summary
`heartrate`	Continuous HR readings (uses `start_datetime`/`end_datetime` ISO format)	Workout HR, resting HR
`workout`	Detected workouts — HR, calories, duration, type	Exercise tracking
`daily_spo2`	Blood oxygen (SpO2) nightly average	Breathing/oxygen
`daily_stress`	Stress score, recovery periods	Stress monitoring
`ring_configuration`	Ring model, firmware, color, design	Ring info

Show full SKILL.md (154 more words)Show less

Query Parameters

Most endpoints: start_date and end_date in YYYY-MM-DD format
Heart rate: Uses start_datetime and end_datetime in ISO 8601 format (e.g. 2025-01-15T00:00:00-05:00)
Personal info / ring config: No date params needed
Omitting dates usually returns recent data (last 1-7 days depending on endpoint)

Common Patterns

Morning health check

Pull sleep + readiness + activity for today:

bash

DATE=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
curl -s "https://api.ouraring.com/v2/usercollection/daily_sleep?start_date=$DATE&end_date=$DATE"
curl -s "https://api.ouraring.com/v2/usercollection/daily_readiness?start_date=$DATE&end_date=$DATE"

Workout details with HR

bash

YESTERDAY=$(date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)
TODAY=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
curl -s "https://api.ouraring.com/v2/usercollection/workout?start_date=$YESTERDAY&end_date=$TODAY"

Heart rate during a specific window

bash

# Adjust the datetime range as needed (ISO 8601 with timezone offset)
curl -s "https://api.ouraring.com/v2/usercollection/heartrate?start_datetime=YYYY-MM-DDT23:00:00-05:00&end_datetime=YYYY-MM-DDT01:00:00-05:00"

Notes

New rings need 1-2 nights to calibrate before sleep/readiness scores are meaningful
Sleep data appears a few hours after waking
Short workouts (<15 min) may not be auto-detected — check raw heart rate instead
Heart rate endpoint can return large datasets — keep time windows tight
Rate limit: 5,000 requests per 5 minutes
Tokens expire after ~30 days. Refresh using the oura-setup skill's token refresh instructions.

Token Refresh

When the access token expires, use the refresh token via the oura-setup skill:

bash

curl -s -X POST "https://api.ouraring.com/oauth/token" \
  -d "grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=REFRESH_TOKEN&client_id=CLIENT_ID&client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET"

Store the new access_token and refresh_token. See oura-setup for full details.
