## What it does

The agent animates one typical session with its user in p5.brush watercolor: requests glide in as paper planes, corrections are a cartoon mallet, praise is a butterfly, and the agent types, folds and throws back its replies at a desk in a room decorated from what it knows about the user. `harvest.py` finds the routine in local Claude Code or Codex transcripts after the user agrees, every on-screen quote goes through a privacy gate, and the agent writes its own orchestral score, rendered with macOS's built-in General MIDI bank or fluidsynth. A community-tier skill written by HeyGen's Jake Moran; the character engine is adapted from John Heibel's ClaudeAnimationBase (MIT).
