Cowsay Skill
This is an example skill created by Amp to illustrate how Agent Skills work.
Generate ASCII art pictures of a cow with a speech bubble containing a message.
Usage
Run the bundled Python script to generate cowsay output:
python3 scripts/cowsay.py "Your message here"
Options
--eyes CHARS: Set custom eye characters (default:oo)--tongue CHARS: Set custom tongue characters (default: empty)--width N: Set speech bubble width (default: 40)--think: Use thought bubble instead of speech bubble
Examples
Basic cowsay:
python3 scripts/cowsay.py "Hello, world!"
Dead cow:
python3 scripts/cowsay.py "I'm not feeling well" --eyes "XX" --tongue "U"
Thinking cow:
python3 scripts/cowsay.py "Hmm, let me think..." --think
Output format
The script outputs ASCII art directly to stdout. Present the output in a code block to preserve formatting.
