whoopgate

Claude Code won't touch prod while your heart is racing.

This mod puts your live WHOOP heart rate in the status line (♥ 87) and blocks risky Bash commands while it is at or over your limit (❤️ 112 · deploys locked). Deploys, force pushes, rm -rf, publishes, PR merges, terraform apply, destructive SQL: the same list as the whoopgate CLI. To unlock, run whoopgate breathe and stay under 92 bpm for 20 seconds. That opens a 2 minute window.

It is the in-process version of whoopgate's settings hooks and status line. You still run the whoopgate daemon, which reads the band over Bluetooth.

Install

whoopgate daemon                                  # WHOOP app > Heart Rate Broadcast on
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/claude-mods/whoopgate

Or add the repo as a marketplace and install it with /plugin. Use the mod or whoopgate install, not both, or every risky command is checked twice.

• Status line: ♥ 87, ❤️ 112 · deploys locked, ♥ 112 · unlocked 1:43, ♡ whoop offline. Refreshed every 2 s.
• /pulse shows the current bpm, the threshold and the unlock state.

Options

| Option | Default | What it does | | --- | --- | --- | | threshold | 100 | bpm at or above which risky commands are blocked |

The mod also follows ~/.whoopgate/config.json for calmBpm and unlockSeconds (what the deny message tells you) and extraPatterns (your own risky regexes), and honours whoopgate pause.

Demo without a band

sim.sh writes a simulated heart rate to ~/.whoopgate/hr.json (with "device": "SIMULATED"). Stop the real daemon first.

./sim.sh 120        # hold around 120 bpm
./sim.sh ramp       # climb from 80 to 125
./sim.sh unlock 60  # act as if `whoopgate breathe` worked

How it works

A $.clock.every timer reads ~/.whoopgate/hr.json for the status line, and a tool.call hook on Bash reads it again and returns { deny } for a risky command while the reading is over the limit. A reading older than 30 s counts as unknown and never blocks.
