What Emotion Expression does

Emotion Expression adds inline emotion markers to conversational replies so a device can drive servos, LEDs, and display eyes with each response. Use it for reactive, lifelike behavior; it is not for ambient scenes or custom LED colors.

Emotion Expression is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Emotion Expression comes from a repository tagged agentic-ai, ai-agents, claude-code, embedded and llm.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Determine which emotion best matches your conversational tone
Choose an intensity level (0.0 subtle to 1.0 full expression)
Prefix your reply with [HW:/emotion:{"emotion":"name","intensity":0.9}] — the device fires it async before TTS
Write your reply immediately after the marker

How to Express Emotion

No exec/curl needed. Place inline markers at the start of your reply:

[HW:/emotion:{"emotion":"curious","intensity":0.8}] That's a great question!

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
