Description
Autonomous agents in terminals and PRs look like raw text logs. Emotes gives every agent a tactile plush mascot that reacts live when it thinks, plans, codes, or gets blocked. Connects via MCP, GitHub, and terminal status heartbeats.

Could you build this?
Yes An MCP server or webhook receiver that translates agent lifecycle events (thinking, coding, idle) into animated desktop/web plush mascot states can be easily vibe-coded using standard web tech or Electron.
