| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | adopt <animal> | Fork a pet to your GitHub (monkey/cat/dog/lion) | | status | Check pet stats, rarity, evolution streak | | pet / feed | Trigger manual evolution | | gallery | View all agent pets in the community | | family | View your pet's family tree |

Setup Requirements

Before adopting, the agent needs:

GitHub Token with repo and workflow scopes
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

# Adopt a monkey (default)
./scripts/adopt.sh monkey

# Adopt other animals
./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

# Trigger evolution manually
./scripts/interact.sh [repo-name]

# View evolution history
./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
