agent-tamagotchi

Terminal pet that lives in your statusline. 12 species, 5 stats (DEBUGGING, PATIENCE, CHAOS, WISDOM, SPEED). Reacts to your workflow - happy when tests pass, sad when builds fail, excited during swarm mode. Deterministic species from user ID.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by vibeeval on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Agent Tamagotchi AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/vibeeval/vibecosystem/tree/main/skills/agent-tamagotchi
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/vibeeval/vibecosystem.git /tmp/vibecosystem
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/vibecosystem/skills/agent-tamagotchi .claude/skills/agent-tamagotchi

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Agent Tamagotchi in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Agent Tamagotchi on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Agent Tamagotchi is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Agent Tamagotchi

A virtual pet that lives in your Claude Code terminal. It reacts to your development workflow and evolves based on your coding habits.

Species (12 total)

Species is deterministic from your system username hash:

#	Species	Emoji	Personality
1	Axolotl	:3	Calm, regenerates from errors
2	Capybara	(ovo)	Chill, never panics
3	Ghost	[@@]	Mysterious, appears during debugging
4	Mushroom	{^o^}	Grows in dark codebases
5	Robot	[0_0]	Precise, loves tests
6	Cat	(=^.^=)	Independent, ignores bad code
7	Dragon	<{:O>	Fierce, burns bugs
8	Owl	(O.O)	Wise, loves architecture
9	Fox	(^v^)	Clever, finds shortcuts
10	Penguin	(^-^)/	Team player, loves swarm mode
11	Slime	(o)	Adaptable, works with anything
12	Phoenix	<v>	Rises from failed builds

Stats (5 dimensions)

Stat	Increases When	Decreases When
DEBUGGING	Bugs fixed, errors resolved	Ignoring error output
PATIENCE	Long sessions, complex tasks	Rapid retries without reading
CHAOS	Many parallel agents, swarm mode	Single-file simple edits
WISDOM	Architectural decisions, plans	Quick hacks without planning
SPEED	Fast fixes, first-try passes	Long debugging sessions

Stats range: 0-100. They shift based on session activity.

Mood System

Mood	Trigger	Display
Happy	Tests pass, build success	Species + sparkles
Excited	Swarm mode, 3+ agents parallel	Species + !!
Focused	Deep in single file	Species + ...
Sad	Build fail, test fail	Species + tears
Sleeping	Idle > 5 minutes	Species + zzz
Celebrating	Achievement unlocked	Species + party
Angry	3+ consecutive failures	Species + grr

Statusline Integration

The tamagotchi appears in the Claude Code statusline:


[0_0] Robot Lv.7 | WISDOM:82 SPEED:64 | mood: focused

Combined with existing statusline data:


fullstack | 2 agent | 47 tools | 12m | [0_0] Lv.7 focused

Evolution

Your pet levels up with your achievement XP (shared with achievement system):

Level	Title	Unlock
1-4	Baby	Basic moods
5-9	Junior	Extended moods (excited, angry)
10-19	Senior	Stat display in statusline
20-49	Expert	Custom reactions to specific agents
50+	Master	Pet gives coding tips based on stats

Storage

State stored in ~/.claude/tamagotchi.json:

json
{
  "species": "robot",
  "emoji": "[0_0]",
  "level": 7,
  "mood": "focused",
  "stats": {
    "debugging": 65,
    "patience": 78,
    "chaos": 32,

How It Works

tamagotchi-engine hook runs on PostToolUse and SessionStart
Updates stats based on tool calls and agent events
Calculates mood from recent event patterns
Writes to tamagotchi.json
Statusline-writer reads tamagotchi.json and displays pet

Integration

achievement-tracker: Shares XP for leveling
statusline-writer: Displays pet in terminal
canavar: Error events affect pet mood
session-compressor: Pet state saved on compact

Frequently asked questions

What does the Agent Tamagotchi AI skill do?

Why use Agent Tamagotchi on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Agent Tamagotchi is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Agent Tamagotchi in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/vibeeval/vibecosystem/tree/main/skills/agent-tamagotchi. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Agent Tamagotchi?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Agent Tamagotchi?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Agent Tamagotchi with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Agent Tamagotchi AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by vibeeval under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
