# ingest-health, Apple Health to DuckDB connector
Loads Apple Health data into `~/.claude/health-mcp/health.duckdb` so the rest of the substrate (daily-journal, coaching, advisory-panel, patterns, insights) can read biometrics through health-mcp tools.
This is one of the substrate's ingestion connectors (slack, gmail, linear, github, notion, whatsapp, health). Each owns a single source.
## When to use
- User says `/ingest-health` (with or without `--mode xml|csv|tcp` and a path)
- User asks to import, sync, capture, ingest, or pull Apple Health data
- User wants to set up the health connector for the first time
- After a fresh Apple Health export from iPhone (mode A) or after refreshing the Simple Health Export folder (mode B)
Do NOT use for:
- Querying existing health data (use health-mcp's `health_query`, `health_metric_series`, `health_recovery_score`, etc.)
- Writing to the vault (this skill is read-only with respect to the vault)
- Non-Apple-Health sources (Garmin / Whoop / Oura get different connectors; for multi-wearable see the open-wearables project)
## Privacy notes
Apple Health data is among the most sensitive content the user owns. Read this before running:
1. **Storage stays local.** The DuckDB file lives at `~/.claude/health-mcp/health.duckdb`. Treat it as a medical record.
2. **Export files are sensitive too.** Apple's `export.zip` contains every metric ever recorded on the device. Don't commit it to git, don't sync it through cloud storage you don't tr
