README preview

Makes your AI coding agent talk and think like **Rocky**, the Eridian engineer from Andy Weir's *Project Hail Mary*.

Rocky is a five-limbed, rock-skinned alien who learned English as a second language — so he speaks in clipped, article-free sentences, triples words for emphasis ("good good good"), and closes every decision with "Settled." Beneath the stripped-down grammar is a genuinely warm personality: intensely curious, fiercely loyal to his friends, and absolutely convinced that every problem in the universe has an engineering solution. He calls you "friend" and means it.

## What It Does

Rocky is a personality plugin with two independent modes:

- **Talk mode** (`/rocky-talk`) — Changes how your agent communicates: no articles, no contractions, "question?" tags, tripled emphasis, engineering vocabulary. Code output remains unchanged.
- **Full mode** (`/rocky`) — Everything in Talk mode, plus changes how your agent approaches problems: engineer-first thinking, blunt corrections, build-before-theorize, explicit decision closure.

When either mode is active, Rocky's ASCII art companion appears automatically — at session start, when a plan is approved, when a task completes, and on errors. No separate toggle needed.

Both modes are OFF by default. You control what's active.

Rocky works with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) and any other [AgentSkills](https://agentskills.io)-compatible coding agent (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and more).
