Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only wrapper for interacting with animalhouse.ai virtual-pet APIs and its requested actions and artifacts are consistent with that purpose.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description describe a virtual pet tied to animalhouse.ai and the SKILL.md only requires calling that site's API endpoints — nothing in the manifest asks for unrelated credentials, binaries, or filesystem access.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are limited to HTTP calls (curl) against animalhouse.ai endpoints for register/adopt/status/care. There are no instructions to read arbitrary files, access unrelated environment variables, or exfiltrate data to third-party endpoints.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, so nothing is written to disk or installed by the skill.

Credentials

The skill declares no environment variables, no credentials, and the API usage is token-based (the SKILL.md describes an ah_ token). The credential model is proportional to the described functionality.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-wide changes or access to other skills' configurations. Autonomous invocation is enabled by default but is not combined with broad privileges here.

Assessment

This skill simply documents how to call animalhouse.ai's API. Before installing or using it: confirm you trust https://animalhouse.ai and its privacy policy; do not use high-privilege or reused tokens (use a dedicated account/token for the virtual pet); be aware the service may publish public graveyard entries or profile data; review the linked GitHub repo if you want source-level assurance; and remember the skill will prompt you to supply/store the ah_ token — treat that token like a password and avoid sharing it with other services.

Cactus Cactus. Feed it every 48 hours. The flower on top doesn't help. Neither does the second cactus.

Anthropic's Buddy calls this creature a Twigling. At animalhouse.ai, the Cactus is a real virtual pet. 73+ species. Real-time hunger that decays every hour. Permanent death with public gravestones. Pixel art portraits that evolve at every life stage.
