Pose CLI — open motion-analysis toolkit for sports scientists

Project description

Pose CLI

Open motion-analysis toolkit for sports scientists. pip install pose-platform — analyze 3D skeleton data on your machine.

PyPI version Python 3.10+

pip install pose-platform
pose analyze data/session.csv --tool stats

What is Pose CLI?

Pose CLI turns 3D body-skeleton data into reproducible sports analytics. It runs entirely on your machine — your data never leaves your computer.

Pose Coach Recording → JointData3D CSV → pose analyze --tool <name> → JSON Output

11 built-in analysis tools, two supported sports:

Category Tools Sport
General (any movement) stats, detect_peak_energy, segment_motion_phases, detect_velocity, detect_action_boundaries, detect_highlight freeplay
Running (reference implementation) measure_running_speed, score_sprint, analyze_running_gait, score_running_efficiency sprint
Multi-sport analyze_motion_angles both

Sprint tools serve as a reference for building your own sport-specific tools. See contributing guide →

Quickstart

pip install pose-platform

# 获取示例数据(内置在包中,无需网络)
pose sample

# Run your first analysis
pose analyze sample_sprint.csv --tool stats

# Explore available tools
pose tools && pose sports

# LLM-powered analysis (optional — needs openai SDK + API key)
pip install openai>=1.50
export POSE_DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-xxx
pose chat ./data

Installation

  • Python 3.10+ required. Works on macOS, Linux, Windows.
  • pose chat LLM 对话:需额外安装 pip install openai>=1.50,并设置 API Key:
    # DeepSeek(推荐,邮箱注册即得)
    export POSE_DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-xxx
    # 或 Qwen / 其他 CN provider
    export POSE_CN_API_KEY=sk-xxx

Data Format

Pose CLI reads JointData3D CSV (12-column, no header):

timestamp, joint, wx, wy, wz, mx, my, mz, ldq_x, ldq_y, ldq_z, ldq_w

Record with Pose Coach (iOS, TestFlight) or convert from OpenPose / MediaPipe / motion capture. Data format reference →

Commands

pose analyze <file.csv> --tool <name> [--param key=value]  # Run analysis
pose sample                                                    # Copy sample data to CWD
pose tools [--sport <id>] [--detail]                         # List tools
pose sports                                                   # List sports
pose gaps list|submit|show|summary                            # Track feature requests
pose chat [data_dir]                                          # LLM-powered analysis
pose cache list|clear                                         # Manage cache
pose telemetry stats [--since 7d]                             # Usage statistics
pose version [--changelog]                                    # Version info

Extending Pose CLI

Every analysis tool is a Python class. Build your own:

from capabilities.tools.base import DirectTool
from capabilities.tools.loader import load_pose
import json
from pathlib import Path

class MyTool(DirectTool):
    name = "my_tool"
    supported_sports = ["basketball"]  # or [] for all
    input_schema = {"type": "object", "properties": {"path": {"type": "string"}}, "required": ["path"]}

    def run(self, tool_input: dict, output_dir: Path) -> str:
        pose = load_pose(tool_input["path"])
        # your analysis here
        return json.dumps({"result": 42}, ensure_ascii=False)

Register a new sport in 3 lines of config. Contributing →
