## What it does

The skill configures the agent as a fitness trainer and routine planner. It builds targeted schedules for strength or endurance, adding progressive overload steps and rest intervals. When gym equipment is unavailable, it adapts the workout routine to home gear. Deload weeks and injury prevention metrics are built directly into the plan.

Output arrives in a markdown template containing timestamps, formatted workout results, and actionable recommendations. The agent uses copy-paste ready formats and includes tracking metrics for workout logs. Keep in mind that exercise selection depends strictly on the equipment details you provide in your prompt. Without those specifics, suggestions stay generic.
