TrainingPeaks Skill

CLI access to the TrainingPeaks internal API. Pure Python stdlib — no pip dependencies.

Setup: Getting Your Auth Cookie

1. Log in to TrainingPeaks in your browser
2. Open DevTools → Application → Cookies → app.trainingpeaks.com
3. Find the cookie named Production_tpAuth
4. Copy its value (long encoded string)

Then authenticate:

python3 scripts/tp.py auth "<paste_cookie_value_here>"

Or set the environment variable (useful for CI/scripts):

export TP_AUTH_COOKIE="<cookie_value>"

Credentials are stored in ~/.trainingpeaks/ with 0600 permissions.
