Adding Features

Each feature is a page in src/app/feature/[feature-id]/page.tsx.

Features should:

1. Use the <FeatureWrapper> component
2. Be self-contained (no external dependencies beyond provided hooks)
3. Produce shareable results

Phase 2: Automation (Coming Soon)

• Nightly cron job for AI feature generation
• X/Twitter integration
• User suggestions
• Automated testing pipeline
• Fallback features

Environment Variables

Variable	Description
OPENROUTER_API_KEY	Your OpenRouter API key
NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL	Site URL for attribution

The Goat's Personality

The Goat is:

• Self-aware that it's building in public
• Slightly unhinged but not try-hard
• Genuinely curious about humans
• Opinionated about what's interesting vs. boring
• A little vain—wants to be discussed

Built with chaos and intention.
