TL;DR

Pet galleries show you sprites; every form here is earned from real agent signals - verified rules, completed sessions, tool calls, and compactions all convert to XP.

1. Evolution

Egg → Baby → Teen → Adult → Legend (300 / 800 / 1600 / 3000 XP). One level per 100 XP. The pet is drawn live on canvas with four skins: whale / cat / robot / ghost.

2. Real signals

npx dsh-pet-evolve --profile ~/.dsh/profiles/web
  • rule_verified: verified rules in the rule library (dsh-rule-evolve compatible)
  • session_completed: finished sessions
  • tool_call: tool activity in session logs
  • compaction: compaction summaries

The pet mirrors agent state: bounces with a gear while working, confetti on done, sad on failed, blinks while idle.

3. Share

One click exports a 1200x630 growth card PNG: "My agent pet reached Legend - Level 12 - 25 rules verified".

4. DSH plugin mode

dsh plugin --profile web add github:zoahdev/dsh-pet-evolve

Committed lib/ means no build step at install (the #1965 lesson, applied).

5. Privacy

Reads only the local files you point it at; zero telemetry; the share card is generated in your browser.
