Setup Requirements

Before adopting, the agent needs:

1. GitHub Token with repo and workflow scopes
2. 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
