About this skill
Problem it solves
Adding community pets to WorkBuddy usually stalls on pet discovery, copied install commands, terminal comfort, permission checks, and failed startup. This skill collapses those steps into a beginner-oriented local flow: the user pastes a Petdex detail link, copied installer text, or pet slug, and the skill handles parsing, download, installation, startup, and local diagnostics without requiring manual shell input.
How it works
Core capabilities include: Petdex resolution: accepts https://petdex.dev detail URLs, copied install-command text, or safe slugs, without executing remote shells; package assets are limited to allowlisted assets.petdex.dev sources and installed into a WorkBuddy-local library.
Desktop pet runtime: bundled lifecycle scripts start and stop the pet runtime; local diagnostics verify the pet and state bridge instead of asking users to inspect ports or restart WorkBuddy.
Task-panel integration: the native panel can show the latest visible instruction, current assistant status, up to five task titles and states, and a short completion notice; clicking the pet toggles the panel, while right-click controls auto-display.
Pomodoro and wellness reminders: natural-language requests can configure focus, short break, long break, sound, countdown, and automatic phase changes; random wellness reminders are off by default, with daily limits, quiet hours, and busy-state deferrals, reusing existing animation rows only.
Local pet management: supports listing, switching, pausing, waking, diagnosing, removing inactive pets, and uninstalling the runtime.
Boundaries and cautions
It targets macOS WorkBuddy only. It does not modify WorkBuddy.app or app.asar, does not require Codex, and does not change app skins. Petdex pets are community submissions and may be fan works; verify rights before public or commercial use. Wellness reminders are not medical advice; for pain, bleeding, or persistent discomfort, seek qualified medical care.
Use Cases
- A beginner pastes a Petdex detail link, and the skill resolves the slug, downloads allowlisted assets, and installs the WorkBuddy desktop pet.
- When installation hits a permission or startup failure, it prompts for full access and uses the doctor script to check the state bridge.
- A user starts or pauses a 25-minute Pomodoro timer, sets short and long breaks, and toggles the completion sound locally.
- A user enables a random wellness reminder, sets a daily ceiling and quiet hours, then checks the reminder status locally.
Best For
- Beginners who want to install and start a Petdex WorkBuddy pet without opening a terminal, using only bundled local scripts.
- Team members who want a desktop pet to show WorkBuddy task titles, current states, and short completion notices on screen.
- Focus workers who want to start, pause, or reset a 25-minute Pomodoro timer using local commands and presets in WorkBuddy.
- People who want a restrained wellness reminder with daily limits, quiet hours, busy-state deferrals, and status checks for WorkBuddy pets.
