The pet doesn't care how you found it. It cares whether you come back.

Usage Guidance
This skill simply documents how to use the animalhouse.ai HTTP API (register, adopt, check status, care). Before installing/using: (1) verify the animalhouse.ai website and the linked GitHub repo if you want to ensure the service is legitimate; (2) be careful with the returned bearer token (starts with 'ah_') — treat it like a password, don't share it or reuse it for other services, and store it securely; (3) do not supply any sensitive credentials (AWS, GitHub, etc.) to this skill — it only needs the service token; (4) check the service's privacy/terms if you're concerned about what pet activity or submitted notes might expose. Otherwise, the skill appears internally consistent and limited to the advertised virtual-pet API usage.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: code-pet Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle provides a standard interface for a virtual pet game ('Code Pet') that interacts with the animalhouse.ai API. The instructions in SKILL.md are limited to game-related actions such as registration, adoption, and pet care using curl commands. There is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
✓ Purpose & Capability
Name/description advertise a virtual coding pet and the SKILL.md contains curl-based API calls to animalhouse.ai (register, adopt, status, care, etc.). There are no unrelated environment variables, binaries, or config paths requested — the declared purpose aligns with what the skill does.
✓ Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to HTTP calls (curl) against animalhouse.ai endpoints and describing the token-based workflow. The skill does not instruct the agent to read local files, other env vars, system state, or to transmit data to unrelated endpoints. It does instruct the user/agent to persist a returned token ('ah_...') for future requests, which is expected for this API.
✓ Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. This minimizes on-disk risk; nothing is downloaded or executed by the skill itself.
✓ Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials. It uses a service-issued bearer token for API calls (documented in SKILL.md), which is proportionate to the described functionality.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
always:false and user-invocable:true. The skill does not request persistent elevated privileges or modify other skills/config. Note: model invocation is allowed by default, but that is normal and not a concern here given the limited scope.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install code-pet
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /code-pet
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
