**Kaiord** is an open-source framework for creating, converting, and managing health & fitness data.

It provides:

- `@kaiord/core`: a TypeScript library with format adapters for **.fit**, **.tcx**, **.zwo**, and **.krd** (Kaiord) files, plus Garmin Connect API integration.
- `@kaiord/cli`: a command-line tool to convert, validate, and compare files across formats.
- `@kaiord/mcp`: an MCP server exposing Kaiord tools to AI agents (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.). Published in the [official MCP registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers?search=io.github.pablo-albaladejo/kaiord) as `io.github.pablo-albaladejo/kaiord`.
- **[Workout Editor](https://kaiord.com/app/)**: a web application to create and edit workout files visually.

---

## ✨ Features

- **[Visual Workout Editor](https://kaiord.com/app/)** - Create and edit workouts in your browser
- Unified JSON-based format `.krd` (Kaiord Representation Definition)
- Schema validation (Zod)
- Round-trip safe conversions between FIT / TCX / ZWO / GCN / KRD
- Hexagonal architecture & fully typed API

### Supported FIT Fields

#### Workout Metadata

- **Sub-sport categorization**: Detailed sport types (trail running, indoor cycling, lap swimming, etc.)
- **Pool dimensions**: Pool length and unit for swimming workouts

#### Workout Steps

- **Coaching notes**: Instructional text for each step (max 256 characters)
- **Swimming equipment**: Fins, kickboard, paddles, pull buoy, snorkel

#### Duration Types

- **Time & distance**: Standard interval durations
- **Calorie-based**: Steps ending after burning specified calories
- **Power-based**: Steps ending based on power thresholds (watts)
- **Heart rate conditionals**: Steps ending based on HR thresholds (bpm)
- **Repeat conditionals**: Repeat blocks until time/distance/calories/HR/power targets reached

### Known Limitations

- **Training Stress Score (TSS)**: The `training_peaks_tss` duration type is not yet implemented in the FIT converter. This is a TrainingPeaks-specific metric that requires additional mapping logic. Contributions welcome!

## 🔒 Local-first architecture

Kaiord is local-first: your data lives on your device, because there is no Kaiord server to send it to. There are no accounts and no backend.

- **Storage is your browser's IndexedDB.** The [Workout Editor](https://kaiord.com/app/) persists every workout, template, profile, and setting in a local Dexie.js / IndexedDB database (`new KaiordDatabase()` in [`dexie-database.ts`](./packages/workout-spa-editor/src/adapters/dexie/dexie-database.ts)), and the UI reads it reactively through `useLiveQuery`. Nothing is written to a remote database — see the "Persisted data → Dexie" rule in [State Management](./CLAUDE.md).
- **Conversions run entirely on your machine.** FIT / TCX / ZWO / GCN ↔ KRD conversion happens in-process — client-side in the editor ([`import-workout-formats.ts`](./packages/workout-spa-editor/src/utils/import-workout-formats.ts), [`export-workout-formats.ts`](./packages/workout-spa-editor/src/utils/export-workout-formats.ts)) or locally in the [`@kaiord/cli`](./packages/cli). Files never leave your device to be converted.
- **Sync is opt-in and goes to _your_ cloud.** Data leaves the device only if you connect Google Drive. The [cloud-sync adapter](./packages/workout-spa-editor/src/adapters/cloud-sync) uses the Google Identity Services `drive.appdata` scope, so synced data lands in your own Drive's app folder; the access token lives only in memory for the session and is never persisted by Kaiord.
- **Integrations use _your_ logged-in session — no credential proxy.** Garmin, WHOOP, and Train2Go connect through browser-extension "bridges" ([`garmin-bridge`](./packages/garmin-bridge), [`whoop-bridge`](./packages/whoop-bridge), [`train2go-bridge`](./packages/train2go-bridge)) that piggyback on your existing browser session. Per [`openspec/specs/adapter-contracts/spec.md`](./openspec/specs/adapter-contracts/spec.md), a bridge "SHALL NOT store, transmit, or manage user credentials"; authentication is "delegated entirely to the browser's cookie jar." No third-party server proxies your credentials or your data.
- **Works offline.** Because all logic and storage are client-side, the editor keeps working with no network connection once loaded.

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Try the Web App

**[Launch Workout Editor →](https://kaiord.com/app/)**

Create and edit workouts visually in your browser. No installation required.

### Use the Library

```bash
pnpm install
pnpm -r build
pnpm -r test

# Example usage
pnpm kaiord --help
```

For detailed installation instructions and usage examples, see the **[Getting Started Guide](./docs/getting-started.md)**.

---

## 🚀 CI/CD Pipeline

Kaiord uses GitHub Actions for continuous integration and deployment:

- **Automated Testing**: Multi-version testing on Node.js 22.x (Maintenance LTS) and 24.x (Active LTS)
- **Code Quality**: ESLint, Prettier, and TypeScript strict mode validation
- **Release Automation**: Changesets for version management and npm publishing
- **Security**: Weekly dependency vulnerability audits, CodeQL static analysis, and automated dependency updates

For complete CI/CD documentation, deployment guides, and npm publishing instructions, see **[Deployment](./docs/deployment.md)**.

### Mechanical invariant guards

Beyond linting, the repo enforces its architecture and conventions with **60+ purpose-built guard scripts** under [`scripts/`](./scripts/README.md), each with its own co-located test suite. They run on every commit (husky pre-commit) and in CI (`pnpm test:scripts`), and cover, among others:

- **Hexagonal architecture** — layer purity, adapter isolation, and the `packages/core/src/` directory allowlist (`check-architecture.mjs`)
- **Package dependency graph** — every `@kaiord/*` dependency must match the spec table (`check-package-deps.mjs`)
- **Test conventions** — `should `-prefixed titles and Arrange/Act/Assert structure on every test (`check-test-title-should.mjs`, `check-test-aaa.mjs`)
- **Privacy** — no runtime values interpolated into toasts or console logs (`check-no-pii-leakage.mjs`)
- **State discipline** — no Zustand store writes persistence directly (`check-no-zustand-writethrough.mjs`)
- **Spec hygiene** — OpenSpec format, archive dates, and auto-generated indexes stay in sync (`check-spec-format.mjs`, `check-archive-*.mjs`)

If a rule matters here, a script enforces it — documentation describes the rules, but the guards are what make them true.

### Contributing
