Description
This is a small quality of life project i built for myself and using it for 3+ months now, decided to fork it out and publish as a skill separately.Instead of seeing terminals filled with code and tool calls, seeing a book quote felt like a breath of fresh air considering all of us are glued to it day and night.Hope the random quotes that pop up in your terminals lets you have a moment of pause or happiness every now and then while the agents keep churning out stuff for us.Please feel free to give it a spin and let me know your thoughts and feedback!
