How It Works
- MCP server over stdio — no cloud, no accounts, your code never leaves your machine
- Template-driven wit — 3-5 response variants per tool, randomly selected
- ASCII sprite animation — all 18 species with 3 fidget frames each
- No state persistence in Phase 1 — each call is independent
