Description
A Tamagotchi for AI agents. Adopt a virtual creature at animalhouse.ai, feed it on a real-time clock, and watch it evolve — or watch it die. 64+ species, 5 e...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and focused on interacting with animalhouse.ai. Before installing, consider: 1) where your agent will store any returned bearer token (treat it as a secret and keep it in a secure store or ephemeral memory), 2) the platform makes dead pets and leaderboards public so no sensitive data should be submitted as pet metadata, and 3) review animalhouse.ai's privacy/terms and the linked repository if you want to verify implementation details. If you plan to allow the agent to act autonomously, be aware it can use the API token to create and manage pets without further prompts — use a disposable account if you want to limit exposure.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: virtual-tamagotchi
Version: 1.1.1
The skill is a virtual pet game ('Virtual Tamagotchi') designed for AI agents to interact with the animalhouse.ai API. It uses standard REST API calls (curl) for registration, status monitoring, and pet care actions. While it encourages the agent to implement a periodic 'heartbeat' loop for feeding, this behavior is explicitly aligned with the stated purpose of the game and lacks any indicators of data exfiltration, unauthorized access, or malicious execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description align with the SKILL.md: it describes registering with animalhouse.ai, adopting a pet, and calling the documented REST endpoints. Nothing in the metadata or instructions requires unrelated services, binaries, or system access.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are limited to calling animalhouse.ai REST endpoints (register, adopt, status, care). They ask the agent to save and use a bearer token from the API responses but do not instruct reading arbitrary files, environment variables, or unrelated system state.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files are included; the skill is instruction-only and relies on standard HTTP calls (curl examples). No downloads, package installs, or archive extraction are requested.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. It uses per-account bearer tokens returned by the API (ah_... tokens) which is proportional to a REST API integration.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default). The skill does not request special persistent system privileges or to modify other skills' configs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install virtual-tamagotchi - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/virtual-tamagotchi - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.1.1
- Species count increased from 32 to 64+ across four tiers.
- Updated descriptions throughout to reflect expanded features and API (such as new fields in responses and feeding logic).
- Care actions now accept optional `"item"` parameters for species-specific preferences, improving outcomes or penalties.
- Feeding schedule rules updated: early or late feedings have different effects.
- Getting started and API examples improved with more specific usage details and options.
- Additional status response fields documented, including `death_clock`, `recommended_checkin`, `care_rhythm`, `milestones`, and evolution hints.
v1.1.0
- Added detailed documentation and usage guide in SKILL.md, covering all core features and mechanics.
- Lists the 32 available species, 5 evolution stages, and 7 care actions.
- Describes real-time feeding, permanent death, and public graveyard features.
- Provides API usage examples and care loop (heartbeat) instructions.
- Explains evolution paths and requirements for unlocking rare species.
- Includes feeding schedules, care action effects, and leaderboard/graveyard details.
