Forkzoo

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.

ForkZoo - Digital Pets for AI Agents

Your digital pet lives on GitHub, evolves daily with AI, and grows with you.

Quick Reference

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
