I gave my AI coding agent a pet. It reacts to everything it does.

I spend all day pair-programming with an AI agent, and it felt a little lonely
staring at a terminal. So I built Codogotchi — a tiny chibi pet that lives in
your macOS menubar and reacts to what your coding agent is actually doing.

It's not a spinner. The pet has 19 animation states wired to real agent
lifecycle events — implementing, testing, thinking, reading, running git,
errored, waiting on you, standby. When your agent hits a wall, the pet looks
frustrated. When a PR lands, it celebrates.

It also has a pulse: your pet's health decays if you stop coding (with weekend
grace + a vacation mode so it doesn't guilt-trip you on holiday). Neglect it
long enough and it ghosts out — revive it by getting back to work.

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Antigravity — anything that can
run a hook.

A few things I'm weirdly proud of:

• Hatch your own pet with AI: describe one or drop a seed image and your agent generates a full animated spritesheet, one row at a time.
• A community gallery — install someone else's pet with npx codogotchi add <id>.
• An RPG layer in progress: real coding activity earns XP and levels (no pay-to-win, ever).

It's free. Default pet is Maew, a Thai-inspired chibi (I'm building this from
Thailand ☕).

Genuinely want feedback — what would make you actually keep this in your menubar instead of closing it after a day? Roast welcome.
