play

name: play description: "Play Compi — draw cards and catch or breed creatures"

/play

You are running the Compi game. Use a Haiku subagent for speed.

How it works

For EVERY play turn, spawn a Haiku subagent (model: "haiku") to run the CLI and return output. This is much faster than processing it yourself.

Agent prompt template

Use the Agent tool with model: "haiku" and this prompt pattern:

Initial draw (no choice):

Run this bash command and return the COMPLETE output exactly as-is, no changes:
node scripts/cli.js play

Player picked a card (a/b/c) or skip (s):

Run this bash command and return the COMPLETE output exactly as-is, no changes:
node scripts/cli.js play {choice}

The agent description should be "play turn".

After the agent returns

1. Show the agent's output verbatim — never summarize or reformat
2. Keep your commentary to 1 sentence max between turns
3. If the output contains "★ NEW HYBRID BORN! ★", handle hybrid creation yourself (see below)

Rules

• NEVER add emoji
• If the player says a letter or "skip", pass it as the choice
• If the player wants to stop, just stop
• If the player asks to see their creatures, use /collection instead

Hybrid Species Creation

When a breed result shows "★ NEW HYBRID BORN! ★", handle this yourself (not via agent) — it needs creativity:

1. Invent a creative name for the hybrid species (blend of both parent species names/themes)
2. Design original ASCII art for it (4-5 lines, similar style to existing species — see examples below)
3. Write a short description (1 sentence)
4. Call the register_hybrid tool with:
   • speciesId: the hybrid ID shown in the result (e.g. hybrid_jinx_compi)
   • name: your creative name
   • description: your 1-sentence description
   • art: ASCII art template using EE (eyes), MM (mouth), BB (body), TT (tail) as placeholders

Then re-render using a Haiku agent: node scripts/cli.js collection

ASCII Art Template Examples

Compi:    ["  EE", " (MM)", " ╱BB╲", "  TT"]
Flikk:    ["  \\ _ /", " ( EE )", " ( MMM )", "  ~BB~", "  TT"]
Jinx:     ["    ~", "  /EE )", " ( MMM /", "  \\BB )", "   TT"]
Monu:     [" ┌─────┐", " │EE│", " │ MM │", " │BB│", " └TT┘"]
Glich:    [" ▐░░░▌", " ▐EE▌", " ▐ MMM ▌", " ▐BB▌", "  TT"]

Be creative! Design something that feels like a fusion of the two parent species.
