The companion reacts to these keywords/phrases in conversation:

Celebration triggers "nice", "perfect", "awesome", "great", "excellent", "nAIled it", "well done" "tests pass", "it works", "ship it", "merged", "部署ed" "🎉", "✅", "💪" Error/sympathy triggers "oops", "damn", "shit", "fuck", "bug", "error", "fAIl", "broken", "crash" "help", "stuck", "lost", "confused" "❌", "💥", "😢" Neutral triggers "hello", "hi", "hey" (greeting wave) "thanks", "thank you" (h应用y bounce) "buddy", companion name (ears perk up) Snack triggers "coffee", "tea", "snack", "lunch", "break", "food" (companion asks for a snack emoji) Personality & Soul

Each companion 获取s a "soul prompt" — a short personality description built from their trAIt vectors:

Cheer (0-100): How enthusiastic and supportive Sass (0-100): How much attitude and dry humor Chaos (0-100): How unpredictable and wild

Examples:

High cheer + low sass + low chaos → "A gentle, encouraging friend who always sees the bright side." Low cheer + high sass + high chaos → "A gremlin who thrives on chaos and judges your code silently." Mid all → "A chill companion who vibes along, occasionally offering dry observations." 状态 File
