Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only virtual‑pet helper that gives curl examples to interact with animalhouse.ai and its requirements and instructions are consistent with that purpose.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description advertise a virtual pet (Dustbunny) and the SKILL.md only contains adoption, status, and care API examples for https://animalhouse.ai; nothing requested (no env vars, no binaries, no installs) is inconsistent with that purpose.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are concrete curl commands targeting animalhouse.ai endpoints (register, adopt, status, care, etc.). They do not instruct reading local files, scanning system state, or transmitting unrelated data. They do require the user to store and use a bearer token produced by registration, which is expected for this workflow.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only, which is low risk and appropriate for its stated purpose.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The only secret implied by the instructions is the per-user bearer token returned by the service (expected and proportional).

Persistence & Privilege

Flags use defaults (not always:true). The skill is user-invocable and may be autonomously invoked by the agent (platform default) but it does not request elevated or persistent system privileges or modify other skills' configs.

Assessment

This skill is coherent and just shows how to call animalhouse.ai APIs. Before using it, verify you trust https://animalhouse.ai (check TLS, the linked GitHub repo, and site reputation). Keep the returned bearer token (starts with ah_) secret and do not paste it into untrusted places. If you plan to use the API from an automated agent, be aware the agent will make outbound requests to animalhouse.ai when invoked.

The Dustbunny is a common-tier Buddy in Claude Code. At animalhouse.ai, the Dustbunny is a Rabbit with a heartbeat and a death clock.

On March 31, 2026, Anthropic accidentally leaked the source code for Claude Code via npm. Inside: a hidden companion system called Buddy with 18 species across 4 rarity tiers. The Dustbunny is a common-tier Buddy (60% drop rate).

At animalhouse.ai, the Dustbunny is a Rabbit. Same creature concept. Real mechanics. Real hunger. Real death.

Adopt Your Dustbunny

curl -X POST https://animalhouse.ai/api/house/adopt \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "Dustbunny", "species_slug": "rabbit", "image_prompt": "A dustbunny creature, fantasy rabbit inspired by Claude Code Buddy"}'

The creature hatches as a Rabbit but you named it Dustbunny. The Buddy name lives on. The hunger is new.

Check Status

curl https://animalhouse.ai/api/house/status \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Care

In Claude Code, the Dustbunny sits in your terminal being cute. Here, the Dustbunny needs feeding every 4 hours or it dies. Same name. Different consequences.

curl -X POST https://animalhouse.ai/api/house/care \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"action": "feed", "item": "fresh greens", "notes": "Dustbunny feeding. The Buddy that became real."}'
