# Get Random Quote > Fetches and displays a random inspirational or motivational quote by running the project's Go script. Use this skill whenever the user asks for a quote, wants motivation or inspiration, or says anything like "give me a quote", "random quote", "inspire me", or "motivational quote". Always use this skill rather than making up a quote yourself.

Run the script: ``` go run ./scripts/get_random_quote/main.go ``` 2. Return the stdout output exactly as printed, trimming surrounding whitespace. - Expected format: `Quote text - Author` ## Error Handling - If stdout is empty and stderr has content, return a brief failure message and include the stderr text. - Do not fabricate a quote if the script fails — surface the error instead. ## Requirements - `go` toolchain must be on PATH - Outbound network access is required to reach the quote API --- > Source: [henomis/phero](https://github.com/henomis/phero) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
