About this skill

Pavlok Stimulus

Use scripts/pavlok.py to send a stimulus to the Pavlok API.

Run

uv run scripts/pavlok.py zap 30 "reason for trigger"

Inputs

  • stimulusType is a string such as vibe, beep, or zap.
  • stimulusValue is an integer.
  • reason is required by the CLI parser but is not currently sent to the API.

Notes

  • Requires PAVLOK_API_KEY in .env or the environment.
  • For zap, LIMIT_DAY_PAVLOK_COUNTS and LIMIT_PAVLOK_ZAP_VALUE are required. If the daily zap limit is exceeded, the script returns a JSON object with skipped: true and reason: "limit_reached". If the value is above the limit, it is clamped to LIMIT_PAVLOK_ZAP_VALUE.

When not to use it

  • Exceeding daily zap limits
  • Triggering without reason

Prerequisites

PAVLOK_API_KEY

Limitations

  • Zap value clamped to limit
  • Daily zap limit enforced

How it compares

Provides programmatic habit enforcement feedback instead of manual device control.
