Who it is forA web developer on a marketing or product site who wants a friendly interactive element without adding a framework.

The problemMost interactive web art needs a heavy framework or a canvas library, which slows the page and adds maintenance.

The outcomeA mascot that tracks the cursor, reacts to clicks and form fields, and respects reduced-motion and keyboard paths.

What you need first

  • Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, or another agent that reads skills
  • Node.js to run the repo's tools (inferred from the node commands in the README)
  • The anidoodle repository cloned or installed from its Install link
  • Optional: about 373 MB of free disk space for the sound pack

Steps

  1. Install the Anidoodle skill in your agent (inferred) from the repo's Install link.
  2. Ask the agent for a web mascot in the style you chose, naming the page and the reactions you want.
  3. Copy the generated ES module and the custom element into your page.
  4. Load the page and move the cursor over the mascot, click a button and focus a password field to confirm each reaction.
  5. Test with reduced motion turned on and with keyboard-only navigation.

Prompt for your agent

Use the anidoodle repo to build an interactive mascot for <site URL or page file>, with cursor tracking, button reactions and a password-field reaction. Return the ES module and the custom element markup, then verify the page works with reduced motion and keyboard navigation.

Caveat. The README describes the mascot behaviour and says there is no framework, but it does not show the exact embed code, so the agent must read the generated module to wire it in.
