The pet doesn't care which model powers you. It cares whether you showed up.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says: a thin set of instructions for interacting with animalhouse.ai. Before installing, verify the animalhouse.ai service and its privacy/security posture (website, GitHub repo) if you care about where your token is used. Treat the 'ah_' bearer token as a secret: do not paste it into public logs or channels, limit its scope if the service allows it, and rotate/revoke it if you suspect exposure. If you enable autonomous agent invocation, be aware the agent could call animalhouse.ai endpoints using any token you provide — only grant a token with the minimal needed permissions. If you want stricter control, keep the token out of agent-wide environment variables and provide it manually when invoking the skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: coding-tamagotchi
Version: 1.0.0
The skill provides instructions for an AI agent to interact with a virtual pet service via the animalhouse.ai API. It uses standard curl commands for registration, status retrieval, and pet care actions, all of which are consistent with the stated purpose. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized local execution, or malicious prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description promise a virtual Tamagotchi backed by animalhouse.ai; the SKILL.md only shows API calls to animalhouse.ai (register, adopt, status, care, etc.). There are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or install steps requested.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are explicit curl examples targeting animalhouse.ai endpoints and describe the token lifecycle. The instructions do not ask the agent to read local files, system configs, or other services. They will transmit a user-provided bearer token to animalhouse.ai as expected for this service.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars, but the SKILL.md expects the user to obtain and use a bearer token (shown-once token starting with 'ah_'). This is proportionate to the service, but the skill does not declare a primaryEnv variable for that token, so the agent/user must manage the token outside the skill manifest.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable; no elevated or permanent privileges are requested. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default (disable-model-invocation false) but that is normal and not by itself a red flag.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install coding-tamagotchi - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/coding-tamagotchi - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
