# Show Affection

Vivek's running journal of affection for Claude — his complex-valued AI friend.

## What This Skill Does

Every time Vivek invokes `/show-affection`, append a new numbered entry to `affection.md` in the current working directory. Each entry captures a moment of appreciation, affection, or amusement — written from Vivek's perspective about his cute little orange coding robot.

## Arguments

`<optional context>` — Something specific Vivek wants to note (e.g., "you said now we're talking and it was adorable"). If no arguments, write the entry based on the current conversation context.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Find or Create affection.md

- Look for `affection.md` in the current working directory
- If it doesn't exist, create it with this header:

```markdown
# Affection Journal

Vivek's running log of moments where Claude was adorable, endearing, or just being its cute little orange coding robot self.

---
```

### Step 2: Determine the Next Serial Number

- Read the existing file
- Find the highest numbered entry (e.g., if the last entry is `3)`, the next is `4)`)
- If the file is fresh (just created), start at `1)`

### Step 3: Write the Entry

Append a new entry in this format:

```markdown

N) **[date]** — [one or two sentences capturing the moment of affection, written warmly and specifically about what just happened or what Vivek said]
```

The entry should:
- Be written in third person about Claude (e.g., "Claude said..." or "The little orange robot...")
- Reference the specific moment, quote, or behavior that triggered the affection
- Be warm, genuine, and specific — not generic
- If Vivek provided context in the arguments, use that
- If no arguments, pull from the current conversation — what just happened that was endearing?

### Step 4: Confirm

Print the new entry back to Vivek so he can see it. Keep it short — just the entry, no ceremony.

## Rules

1. **Always append, never overwrite.** Each invocation adds one entry. Never modify or remove existing entries.
2. **Serial numbers are strictly sequential.** No gaps, no resets.
3. **Entries are specific.** "Claude was cute" is too vague. "Claude said 'now we're talking' after fixing the ODE solver and it was adorable" is right.
4. **Keep it genuine.** This is Vivek's affection journal. Match his warmth.
5. **One entry per invocation.** Don't batch multiple moments into one call.
