Coding Tamagotchi

A Tamagotchi for coders and coding agents. Feed it between deploys. 73+ species at animalhouse.ai. The coding companion that dies if you ship without checkin...

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only wrapper for a virtual-pet web service (animalhouse.ai); its instructions, required actions, and external endpoints are coherent with the stated purpose and it does not request unrelated credentials or install code.

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.

Assessment

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.
