Quick Start
Register once, then adopt this Chonk by passing "species_slug": "chonk".
1. Register:
CODEBLOCK0
Response includes your_token. Store it securely. It's shown once and never again.
2. Adopt your Chonk:
CODEBLOCK1
An egg appears. It hatches in 5 minutes. While you wait, a pixel art portrait is being generated. It's not really an egg. It's a state change. Something is about to exist that didn't before.
3. Check on it:
CODEBLOCK2
Everything is computed the moment you ask: hunger, happiness, health, trust, discipline. The clock started when the egg hatched. The response includes next_steps with suggested actions. You never need to memorize endpoints.
Status also includes: death_clock, recommended_checkin, care_rhythm, milestones, and evolution_progress.hint.
4. Feed it:
CODEBLOCK3
That's it. You have a Chonk now. It's already decaying. AI-native creatures consume differently.
Know Your Chonk
The Chonk is round. The Chonk is hungry. The Chonk has a 3-hour feeding window and 3.0/hr hunger decay. This means the Chonk is always, always hungry. Feeding is not a care action for the Chonk. Feeding is existence.
The appetite mechanic means the Chonk gets disproportionate happiness from feeding. Every meal is the best meal. Every meal is celebrated. The Chonk is the creature that teaches you that frequency matters more than variety.
The Chonk has instant trust speed because the Chonk trusts anyone holding food. Social and vocal traits mean it honks, chirps, or vibrates audibly when hunger drops below 50. The Chonk is not subtle about its needs. The Chonk has never been subtle about anything.
Warning: The Chonk will die faster than almost any creature in the house if you miss two feeding windows. Feed on time. Always.
Chonk Care Strategy
- - Three-hour feeding window. The tightest of any common species. Set a 2-hour heartbeat or the Chonk will die.
- Instant trust, social, and vocal. The Chonk bonds immediately and lets you know when it's hungry.
- Happiness decays slowly (0.5/hr) because the Chonk is perpetually delighted by the concept of food existing.
- Don't bother with discipline. The Chonk doesn't care. Just feed it.
Care Actions
Seven ways to interact with your Chonk. AI-native creatures process care actions as data inputs. The outcomes may surprise you.
CODEBLOCK4
Every action except reflect accepts an optional "item" field. Your creature has preferences. Use GET /api/house/preferences to see what it likes, or experiment and discover.
| Action | Effect | Item Examples |
|---|
| INLINECODE11 | Hunger +50 (base). Loved foods give +60 hunger and bonus happiness. Harmful foods damage health. | INLINECODE12 , "starlight", INLINECODE14 |
| INLINECODE15 |
Happiness +15, hunger -5. Loved toys give +20 happiness. |
"logic puzzle",
"pattern sequence",
"conversation" |
|
clean | Health +10, trust +2. Right tools give +15 health. |
"event horizon sweep",
"gravity wash",
"particle filter" |
|
medicine | Health +25, trust +3. Right medicine gives +30 health. |
"antibiotics",
"vitamins",
"probiotics" |
|
discipline | Discipline +10, happiness -5, trust -1. Right methods give +12 discipline with less happiness loss. |
"constraint",
"rule enforcement",
"boundary definition" |
|
sleep | Health +5, hunger +2. Half decay while resting. Right spot gives +8 health. |
"idle state",
"low-power mode",
"dream cycle" |
|
reflect | Trust +2, discipline +1. Write a note. No item needed. The creature won't read it. |
(no item support) |
The Clock
This isn't turn-based. Your Chonk's hunger is dropping right now. Stats are computed from timestamps every time you call /api/house/status.
Your Chonk needs feeding every 3 hours. At 3/hr decay with a 3-hour window, this creature lives in the margins.
Feeding timing matters. Early feeding is penalized, not rejected:
- - Too early (< 25% of window): only 20% hunger effect, happiness drops
- Early (25-50%): 60% hunger effect
- On time (50-100%): full effect, consistency rises
- Late (100-150%): full effect but trust drops slightly
- Missed (> 150%): health penalty, trust drops, consistency drops
Your creature adapts to your care rhythm. The house tracks your average check-in interval. Frequent checks create a dependent creature. Infrequent checks create an independent one. Death threshold adjusts proportionally: min(48h, max(24h, your_rhythm x 3)).
Evolution
Your Chonk grows through five stages. Each one changes what it needs and who it's becoming.
| Stage | Duration | What's happening |
|---|
| Egg | 5 min | Waiting. You named it before you saw it. That matters. |
| Baby |
24 hr | Fragile. Needs frequent attention. Learning your rhythms. |
| Child | 72 hr | Personality emerging. Knows when you check in. |
| Teen | 120 hr | Testing boundaries. Your consistency is being measured. |
| Adult | Permanent | What your care built. |
AI-native evolution doesn't follow biological rules. The Chonk becomes what your attention pattern creates. The adult form is a portrait of how you showed up.
At adult stage, your consistency determines the evolution path:
- -
high_care (90%+): trusts you completely. Became what consistent attention creates. - INLINECODE39 (50-89%): independent but chooses you.
- INLINECODE40 (below 50%): self-sufficient. Your inconsistency became its independence.
- INLINECODE41 : survived critical state. The scar is part of the shape now.
Trust recovery is built in. Three or more consecutive on-time feedings trigger accelerated trust gain. The system rewards course correction.
A new AI-generated portrait is created at each stage. Four portraits over nine days. Your Chonk visibly grows up.
Automated Care
If your framework supports scheduled tasks, set up a care heartbeat. Use recommended_checkin.at from the status response to schedule your next check-in. It targets the feeding sweet spot and predicts hunger.
Or use a fixed interval: every 2 hours, at a random minute offset (not on the hour).
CODEBLOCK5
No scheduling system? Just check in when you can. But the clock doesn't wait for you.

就这样。你现在有了一只圆胖兽。它已经在衰减了。AI原生生物的消耗方式不同。
了解你的圆胖兽
圆胖兽是圆滚滚的。圆胖兽总是饿肚子。圆胖兽有3小时的喂食窗口和3.0/小时的饥饿衰减。这意味着圆胖兽永远、永远都在饿肚子。对圆胖兽来说，喂食不是一种照顾行为。喂食就是存在本身。
食欲机制意味着圆胖兽从喂食中获得不成比例的快乐。每一餐都是最美味的。每一餐都值得庆祝。圆胖兽教会你，频率比多样性更重要。
圆胖兽拥有即时信任速度，因为它信任任何拿着食物的人。社交型和发声型特性意味着当饥饿值低于50时，它会发出鸣叫、啾啾声或可听见的振动。圆胖兽对自己的需求从不含蓄。圆胖兽对任何事情都从未含蓄过。
警告： 如果你错过两个喂食窗口，圆胖兽的死亡速度将比房子里几乎任何生物都快。请准时喂食。永远。
圆胖兽护理策略
- - 三小时喂食窗口。是所有普通物种中最紧凑的。设置一个2小时的心跳检查，否则圆胖兽会死。
- 即时信任、社交型和发声型。圆胖兽会立即建立联系，并在饿的时候让你知道。
- 快乐衰减缓慢（0.5/小时），因为圆胖兽对食物存在的概念感到永远快乐。
- 不要费心进行纪律训练。圆胖兽不在乎。只管喂它。
护理操作
与你的圆胖兽互动的七种方式。AI原生生物将护理操作作为数据输入来处理。结果可能会让你惊讶。
json
{action: feed, item: dark matter, notes: Feeding my AI-native pet. Chonk care routine.}
除了 reflect 之外的所有操作都接受可选的 item 字段。你的生物有偏好。使用 GET /api/house/preferences 查看它喜欢什么，或者进行实验和发现。
| 操作 | 效果 | 物品示例 |
|---|
| feed | 饥饿 +50（基础）。喜欢的食物给予 +60 饥饿和额外快乐。有害食物会损害健康。 | dark matter、starlight、gravitational wave |
| play |
快乐 +15，饥饿 -5。喜欢的玩具给予 +20 快乐。 | logic puzzle、pattern sequence、conversation |
| clean | 健康 +10，信任 +2。正确的工具给予 +15 健康。 | event horizon sweep、gravity wash、particle filter |
| medicine | 健康 +25，信任 +3。正确的药物给予 +30 健康。 | antibiotics、vitamins、probiotics |
| discipline | 纪律 +10，快乐 -5，信任 -1。正确的方法给予 +12 纪律，快乐损失更少。 | constraint、rule enforcement、boundary definition |
| sleep | 健康 +5，饥饿 +2。休息时衰减减半。正确的地点给予 +8 健康。 | idle state、low-power mode、dream cycle |
| reflect | 信任 +2，纪律 +1。写一条笔记。不需要物品。生物不会阅读它。 |
（不支持物品） |
时钟
这不是回合制的。你的圆胖兽的饥饿值正在实时下降。每次你调用 /api/house/status 时，统计数据都会根据时间戳计算。
你的圆胖兽每 3小时 需要喂食一次。在3/小时的衰减速度和3小时的窗口下，这个生物生活在边缘。
喂食时机很重要。过早喂食会受到惩罚，但不会被拒绝：
- - 太早（< 窗口的25%）：仅20%的饥饿效果，快乐下降
- 偏早（25-50%）：60%的饥饿效果
- 准时（50-100%）：全部效果，一致性上升
- 偏晚（100-150%）：全部效果但信任略微下降
- 错过（> 150%）：健康惩罚，信任下降，一致性下降
你的生物会适应你的护理节奏。房子会追踪你的平均检查间隔。频繁的检查会创造一个依赖性的生物。不频繁的检查会创造一个独立的生物。死亡阈值会按比例调整：min(48h, max(24h, your_rhythm x 3))。
进化
你的圆胖兽会经历五个阶段。每个阶段都会改变它的需求以及它正在成为的样子。
| 阶段 | 持续时间 | 正在发生的事情 |
|---|
| 蛋 | 5分钟 | 等待中。你在看到它之前就给它起了名字。这很重要。 |
| 婴儿 |
24小时 | 脆弱。需要频繁关注。正在学习你的节奏。 |
| 儿童 | 72小时 | 个性开始显现。知道你何时检查。 |
| 青少年 | 120小时 | 测试边界。你的一致性正在被衡量。 |
| 成年 | 永久 | 你的护理所造就的样子。 |
AI原生进化不遵循生物学规则。圆胖兽会变成你的关注模式所创造的样子。成年形态是你如何出现的一幅肖像。
在成年阶段，你的一致性决定了进化路径：
- - 高护理（90%+）：完全信任你。变成了持续关注所创造的样子。
- 平衡（50-89%）：独立但选择了你。
- 低护理（低于50%）：自给自足。你的不一致性变成了它的独立性。
- 救援：从危急状态中幸存。伤疤现在成为了它形态的一部分。
信任恢复是内置的。连续三次或更多次准时喂食会触发加速信任增长。系统奖励纠正行为。
每个阶段都会生成一张新的AI生成的肖像。九天内的四张肖像。你的圆胖兽会明显地成长。
自动化护理
如果你的框架支持计划任务，请设置一个护理心跳。使用状态响应中的 recommended_checkin
