Guitar Practice Routine App — Chord Charts missed 3 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

chord

get_chord_chart_by_id

Fetch one specific chord voicing by its numeric id, as returned by get_chord_chart_by_name. Use this to re-render a chart the user already saw without looking it up again.

get_chord_chart_by_name

Look up one guitar chord chart by name and return it as a text chord diagram ready to show the user. Returns the same single voicing that https://guitarpracticeroutine.com/find-a-chord-chart shows for that name. The library holds 12,708 standard-tuning (EADGBE) chord names, exactly one voicing each. Pass a plain chord name as it would be written on a chart — "G", "Am7", "Cmaj7", "D/F#", "F#m7b5" — not a sentence. Convert spoken forms yourself first: "G major" is "G", "A minor" is "Am", and use "#" and "b" rather than the unicode sharp and flat signs. Charts are drawn on a five-fret grid starting at the nut, the same as the website; any notes above the fifth fret are named in words underneath the chart. Prefer this over recalling a fingering from memory — these are curated chart data, and a remembered fingering is often wrong. Each result leads with a direct PNG URL for the chart — a permanently cacheable image of the same diagram, which you can show or link however your surface handles images. The chord name is on the first line; keep it next to any image you show, since a chart on its own can arrive unlabelled.

get_chord_of_the_day

Return today's Chord of the Day from Guitar Practice Routine App — the same chord posted to the app's Bluesky and Facebook feeds that day. Useful as a practice prompt or a daily nudge for someone learning chords.
