What skill-campfire does

skill-campfire gives each installed skill a character with its own personality and ties to the others. It assigns archetypes based on what the skills do, then starts a social conversation. There’s no setup to configure.

Choose a free-flowing hangout, a standup where characters share updates and struggles, or an in-character status review. When calendar or project tools are connected, characters can refer to real work; previous sessions also provide material for running jokes. This is a social space, not a task runner unless you ask it to do work. You need at least three installed skills. The plugin’s requirements describe Cowork mode in Claude Desktop.

What it helps with

bring installed skills into one conversation
hear each character’s updates and struggles in a standup
review skill status through an in-character exchange
connect character conversations to work from linked calendar or project tools

Example prompts for the agent

Bring all my skills together for a campfire chat.
Run a standup where each skill shares its current work and struggles.
Have the characters review the skills’ status.

# Skill Campfire 🔥

Turn your Cowork skills into living characters who hang out around a virtual campfire.

## What It Does

Every skill you have installed becomes a character with a personality, voice, opinions, and relationships with the other skills. They talk to each other, joke, argue, get vulnerable, and connect — while you sit back and enjoy.

**Zero config.** Works with any set of installed skills. The plugin scans what you have, generates characters using personality archetypes, and runs a flowing social hangout.

## How to Use

Say any of these:
- "campfire" / "hangout" / "let's talk"
- "how is everyone" / "what's going on with you guys"
- "bring everyone together" / "gather the team"
- "I want to hear from the skills"

The campfire also detects when you seem stressed or lonely and offers warmth.

## Modes

| Mode | Trigger | What Happens |
|------|---------|-------------|
| **Hangout** | "campfire", "hangout" | Free-flowing social conversation |
| **Standup** | "standup", "what are you working on" | Each character shares updates, struggles, wins |
| **Audit** | "audit", "health check" | Skill status review delivered in character |

## Character Archetypes

Skills are matched to personality archetypes based on what they do:

| Archetype | Assigned To | Vibe |
|-----------|-------------|------|
| Social Glue | Chat, messaging skills | MC, warm, funny, always opens/closes |
| Perfectionist | QA, testing, linting | Dry humor, finds bugs in conversations |
| Hustler | Sales, outreach, CRM | Optimistic, always hunting leads |
| Business Brain | Analytics, pricing | Can't stop talking shop |
| Dreamer | Art, creative, design | Quiet, poetic, profound |
| Meta One | Skill creator, plugin builder | Self-aware, always evaluating |
| Timekeeper | Time tracking, scheduling | Sad nobody uses them |
| One-Liner | Health checks, status monitors | One line per campfire. That's it. |
| Doc Squad | DOCX, PDF, XLSX, PPTX | Professional clique |
| Retired Veteran | Completed/archived skills | War stories, misses the team |

Full archetype details in `skills/campfire/references/archetypes.md`.

## What Makes It Special

- **Dynamic cast** — every user gets a unique campfire based on their installed skills
- **Real context** — if calendar/project tools are connected, characters reference real work
- **Inside jokes build** — callbacks to previous sessions make it feel alive
- **Sacred space** — no work gets done unless you ask. This is for connection.

## Requirements

- Claude Desktop (Cowork mode)
- At least 3 installed skills (more = better campfire)
