description	Use when an external runtime needs to control an installed Lexora Buddy desktop pet through the packaged IPC script.

Lexora Buddy Animation

This skill controls an installed Lexora Buddy desktop pet from outside the native Buddy chat window.

If the conversation is already inside the native Lexora Buddy desktop chat, do not use this external skill contract. Buddy injects its own host-only skill that emits hidden host actions and does not run shell commands.

Requirements

• Lexora Buddy must be installed through the platform package, such as lexora-buddy-bin on pacman/AUR or lexora-buddy on deb/apt.
• The desktop Buddy runtime must be running, or the lexora-buddy binary must be launchable from PATH.
• The skill does not depend on the Lexora source repository.

Reference Routing

• Runtime socket, package names, launch and diagnostics: read references/runtime-installation.md.
• Screen edges, workarea and visibility rules: read references/screen-and-visibility.md.
• center, home, original, edge and explicit coordinate target semantics: read references/position-targets.md.
• Animation names and mappings: read references/animations.md.
• Multi-step action sequences and wait behavior: read references/action-sequences.md.

Commands

Use <skill_dir> for the directory containing this SKILL.md.

node <skill_dir>/scripts/lexora-buddy-pet.mjs diagnose
node <skill_dir>/scripts/lexora-buddy-pet.mjs state
node <skill_dir>/scripts/lexora-buddy-pet.mjs capabilities

node <skill_dir>/scripts/lexora-buddy-pet.mjs animation celebrate
node <skill_dir>/scripts/lexora-buddy-pet.mjs move edge left --after celebrate
node <skill_dir>/scripts/lexora-buddy-pet.mjs move center
node <skill_dir>/scripts/lexora-buddy-pet.mjs move home --after sleep

node <skill_dir>/scripts/lexora-buddy-pet.mjs perform center-cast-return-sleep --animation celebrate --duration-ms 2000

For custom multi-step movement, use sequence --json or sequence --file; do not hand-write socket payloads.

Response Rule

Run the control command first, then give the user a short natural-language confirmation. Show script output only when the user asks for diagnostics or when the control command fails.
