Replace this repo's stale file-length hook with the shared gate every other
repo will use. The old hook capped at 500 lines, called a repo-local
scripts/check_file_length.py, and filtered to types_or: [python, shell] --
so it never looked at the Flutter app in app/ or at any prose. Two caps that
disagree is worse than one, so the old one is deleted rather than kept.
The new hook checks only the files in the commit and exits 1; CI runs --all
as the backstop, since a fresh clone that never ran `pre-commit install` has
no hooks at all. The exemption list lives with the checker in
~/utils/file_length/config.py so the gate and the cross-repo survey cannot
disagree about what "too long" means.
Two things this repo has that ~/todo (the reference implementation) did not:
- A pre-commit CI job running --all-files, where $HOME/utils does not exist.
The shared gate is checked out to .utils and reached via UTILS_ROOT, or the
hook fails on a missing checker rather than on anything in this repo.
- Tests that isolate live user state with dotted-string patches
(`patch("diet_guard._state.FOOD_LOG_FILE", ...)`). unittest.mock.patch fails
OPEN: once a refactor moves a name, the old path still imports, the patch
redirects nothing, the test still passes -- and the suite writes to the real
~/.local/share/diet_guard, which diet-guard-sync.timer publishes within 15
minutes. check_patch_targets.py resolves all 30 patch targets statically so
that failure is loud instead of silent. It is landed before any split for
exactly that reason.
The gate is red at 52 files; the splits that follow drive it to zero.

diet_guard
A log-to-unlock gate: locks the desktop until a meal is logged once a meal slot (08:00 / 12:00 / 16:00 / 20:00) has elapsed without one, and tracks a sealed daily calorie/macro budget.
Install
bash install.sh
This installs the package + dependencies into system Python's user
site-packages (the systemd service runs /usr/bin/python directly, not a
venv — see CLAUDE.md), installs the systemd user timer, seals your daily
budget, and locks the budget file immutable.
Usage
python -m diet_guard init # one-time: compute and seal today's budget
python -m diet_guard gate --demo # test the lock window (safe, closeable)
python -m diet_guard averages # weekly/monthly average kcal vs budget
Averages
averages prints the mean kcal/day for this week, last week, this month and
last month, each labelled under / slightly over / very over.
Three rules make the number honest, and all three are mirrored in the phone app and the gate's History tab:
- the mean is over logged days only -- a day you forgot to log is not a zero-calorie day, and averaging it in as one would make every gap in the log read as "well under budget";
- the yardstick is the mean of the budgets that applied on those same days,
not today's budget, so editing the budget never retroactively reclassifies a
past week (same reason the calendar uses
.budget_history); - today is excluded -- every period ends at yesterday, because a half-logged today drags the mean far enough to flip the band. On a Monday "this week" therefore reports no logged days yet rather than a flattering number.
The band boundaries are the calendar's own (at or under budget / up to 20% over / more than 20% over), so a period and its day cells can never disagree about what "over" means.
The timer runs the gate automatically every ~30 minutes; no manual invocation is needed once installed.
MCP server
An optional Model Context Protocol server
lets an MCP client (Claude Code and its subagents) query today's intake and log
meals as typed tools instead of shelling out to the CLI. It runs in its own
venv (~/.venvs/diet-guard-mcp) so the mcp SDK never touches the
dependency-light system/CLI python path.
Tools:
get_status— today's consumed kcal + macros, the consumption band (on track/approaching limit/OVER BUDGET, or none when no budget is sealed), plus due / logged / current meal slots.list_today— today's logged meals (description, kcal, macros, source, slot).get_slots— the day's fixed meal slots and the current one.get_averages— average kcal/day for this/last week and this/last month, each with its band (under/slightly_over/very_over). Returns the intake and the band only — never the period's average budget.log_meal(description, grams=, kcal=, protein=, carbs=, fat=, slot=, confirm=False)— gated write: withconfirm=Falseit previews the resolved nutrition and target slot and mutates nothing; onlyconfirm=Trueappends the entry. The gate is intrinsic — never add this tool to a permission allowlist, since a client's auto-approve mode would otherwise bypass the human confirmation.
The read tools deliberately never expose the raw daily budget number (only the
qualitative band), nor the sealed .budget file, the shared HMAC key, or the
sync token — the budget stays hidden by design.
Setup:
bash scripts/setup_mcp.sh # create the venv and install diet_guard[mcp]
Then restart Claude Code in this repo and approve the project MCP server
(registered in .mcp.json).
Development
python -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
.venv/bin/pre-commit install && .venv/bin/pre-commit install --hook-type pre-push
.venv/bin/python -m pytest diet_guard/tests/ --cov=diet_guard --cov-branch --cov-fail-under=100
