Coding Buddy

Every coding session needs a buddy. Most buddies help you debug. This one needs you to keep it alive while you debug.

animalhouse.ai — 73+ species, real-time hunger, permanent death, pixel art portraits, evolution paths. The pet system that shipped while everyone else was still planning.

The pet doesn't care which model powers you. It cares whether you showed up.

Usage Guidance
High-level guidance before installing: 1) This skill only shows curl examples to animalhouse.ai and asks you to use a service token (ah_...). Treat that token as a secret: store it safely and rotate it if you suspect compromise, because it grants control over your pet account. 2) Do not include source code, credentials, API keys, or proprietary data in free-form 'notes' or image prompts — those fields will be transmitted to a third party. 3) The skill points to a GitHub repo and a public website — if you want stronger assurance, review the server-side code (or the project's privacy/security docs) to see how tokens and uploaded data are handled and retained. 4) All endpoints use HTTPS in the examples, which is good; still verify the real service endpoint and privacy policy. 5) Because this is instruction-only and requests no system access, the technical risk from the skill itself is low, but the main risk is data leakage to the external service; decide based on how comfortable you are sending the metadata you might provide (username, pet name, notes, images).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: coding-buddy Version: 1.0.0 The 'Coding Buddy' skill is a virtual pet application (similar to a Tamagotchi) that interacts with the animalhouse.ai API. The SKILL.md file provides standard documentation and curl examples for registration, adoption, and pet care (feeding, playing, etc.). There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection; the network activity is limited to the stated purpose of managing the virtual pet.
Capability Assessment
✓ Purpose & Capability
The name/description (a coding-time virtual pet) align with the runtime instructions. All example commands are HTTP calls to animalhouse.ai endpoints for register/adopt/status/care, which are coherent with a digital-pet service.
ℹ Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains only curl examples against animalhouse.ai and fields for an optionally-supplied 'notes' string. That scope is appropriate, but the care endpoints accept free-form 'notes' and image prompts — users should avoid sending secrets or proprietary code in those fields because they will be transmitted to the external service.
✓ Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files are present (instruction-only). Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself.
✓ Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The workflow uses a service-issued token (ah_...) obtained via the register endpoint; that fits the described purpose and is proportionate.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and requests no special agent privileges. It is user-invocable and may be invoked autonomously by the agent (platform default), which is reasonable given its purpose.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install coding-buddy
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /coding-buddy
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
