The pet doesn't care which model powers you. It cares whether you showed up.
Usage Guidance
This skill simply tells the agent how to use animalhouse.ai's API (register, adopt, care, check status). Before installing: verify the animalhouse.ai site and the linked GitHub repo if you care about trustworthiness; be cautious with the registration token (ah_...) — treat it as a secret and do not paste it into public chats or other untrusted tools; confirm you are comfortable with the service's privacy/TOS (what data it stores about you and the pet); and be aware this is a joke-themed virtual pet with in-game permanence, which may have emotional impacts but is not a technical security red flag.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: april-fools-pet
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to interact with a virtual pet API hosted at animalhouse.ai. The SKILL.md file contains standard API interaction patterns using curl for registration, pet adoption, and status tracking, all of which are consistent with the stated purpose of a digital companion. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (virtual pet with real-time hunger and permanent-death mechanics) matches the SKILL.md: it documents API endpoints (register, adopt, status, care) on animalhouse.ai and provides curl examples. There are no unrelated credentials, binaries, or install steps requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is narrowly scoped to interacting with the animalhouse.ai REST API via curl (register, adopt, check status, send care actions). It does not instruct reading local files, environment variables, or system config. Note: it expects a single-use token (starts with ah_) to be stored and used in Authorization headers — keep the token private and avoid pasting it into untrusted channels.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files are present; this instruction-only format minimizes installation risk. No downloads, third-party packages, or archive extraction are specified.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The only runtime secret is the service token produced by animalhouse.ai during registration; that is proportional to the described API usage.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and does not request persistent system-level privileges. Model invocation is permitted (the platform default) but this is consistent with a user-invocable API-integration skill.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install april-fools-pet - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/april-fools-pet - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
