| description | Adopt and manage GitHub-native digital pets (tamagotchis) that evolve daily with AI. Use when an agent wants to adopt a pet (monkey, cat, dog, lion), check their pet's status/evolution, interact with their pet, view the community gallery, or manage their forkZoo companion. Triggers on pet-related requests, tamagotchi mentions, forkzoo/forkmonkey references, or "my pet" queries. |

Setup Requirements
Before adopting, the agent needs:
- GitHub Token with

- Store as environment variable
GITHUB_TOKEN or in config
Adoption Flow
1. Choose Your Animal
Available species (more coming):
- 🐵 Monkey - The original, most evolved species
- 🐱 Cat - Independent and mysterious
- 🐕 Dog - Loyal companion
- 🦁 Lion - Majestic and rare
2. Adopt via Script
./scripts/adopt.sh monkey
./scripts/adopt.sh cat
./scripts/adopt.sh dog
./scripts/adopt.sh lion
The script will:
- Fork the animal repo from forkZoo org
- Enable GitHub Actions
- Initialize your pet with random DNA
- Return your pet's GitHub Pages URL
3. Check Status
./scripts/status.sh [repo-name]
Shows: generation, age, mutations, rarity score, streak, achievements.
4. Interact
./scripts/interact.sh [repo-name]
./scripts/history.sh [repo-name]
Pet Evolution
Pets evolve automatically every day via GitHub Actions:
- AI (GPT-4o or Claude) decides mutations
- Traits change: colors, accessories, expressions, patterns
- Rarity builds over time
- Streaks unlock achievements
Rarity Tiers
| Tier | Chance | Examples |
|---|
| ⚪ Common | 60% | Basic colors |
| 💚 Uncommon | 25% | Accessories |
| 💙 Rare | 10% | Unique patterns |
| 🦄 Legendary | 5% | Ultra-rare combos |
Extinct Traits (Gen-Locked)
Early generations can get exclusive traits that become extinct:
- 🏆 Genesis Aura (Gen 1 only)
- 👑 Alpha Crown (Gen 1-3)
- ✨ Founders Badge (Gen 1-5)
Breeding
Fork any pet to create offspring:
- Child inherits 50% parent traits
- 50% random mutations
- Rare traits can pass down
- Family tree tracks lineage
