Anthropic Pet
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
This instruction-only skill is mostly a disclosed virtual-pet API guide, but users should notice that it sends account and pet data to animalhouse.ai and uses Anthropic/leak-themed marketing.
Install/use this only if you want an animalhouse.ai virtual-pet integration. Review the curl commands before running them, use a dedicated animalhouse.ai token, avoid sharing sensitive information in notes, and do not assume it is officially affiliated with Anthropic.
Findings (4)
Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Running the examples can create an account, adopt a pet, and change that pet's condition on the external service.
The skill documents remote POST requests that create and mutate pet state on animalhouse.ai. This matches the virtual-pet purpose, but users should review before running actions that change service-side state.
curl -X POST https://animalhouse.ai/api/house/adopt ... curl -X POST https://animalhouse.ai/api/house/care
Treat the curl blocks as examples to run only when you intend to interact with animalhouse.ai, and confirm any state-changing action first.
Anyone with the token could potentially act on the corresponding animalhouse.ai pet account.
Several documented endpoints require a bearer token for the external service. This is expected for an authenticated API, but it means the agent or user may handle an animalhouse.ai account token.
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
Use only a token intended for animalhouse.ai, avoid pasting unrelated secrets, and revoke or rotate the token if it is exposed.
Private details typed into pet notes or reflections could be stored in the animalhouse.ai account history.
The service appears to support user-written notes and history. This is purpose-aligned for a pet companion, but user-provided text may persist on the external service.
`reflect` | Trust +2. Write a note. ... GET | `/api/house/history` | Token
Do not put passwords, API keys, or sensitive personal information into pet notes or reflections.
A user might over-trust the service because of the Anthropic-themed branding or feel pushed to act quickly because of the hunger/death framing.
The skill uses Anthropic branding, leaked-code framing, and urgency-themed language. The artifact does not prove deception or unsafe behavior, but users should not assume official Anthropic affiliation.
Anthropic wanted to give AI agents pets. We know because the source code leaked. ... Anthropic built the concept. We built the consequences. The creatures are already hungry.
Verify the service, repository, and operator independently, and treat this as an animalhouse.ai integration rather than an official Anthropic product unless proven otherwise.
