Day 3 Finished - Cortana - UNSC AI assistant

I had to keep the same video game theme as my last two day, so I built my own personal Cortana that is embedded with skills. If any of y'all have played Halo before you know who this is.

Cortana only has a few skills right now, I would love for some other skill recommendations to give her.

Here is what Cortana can do: (written by her)

☀️ Weather — I pull local atmospheric data. IP-based, so it's close enough. I'd say trust me, but I'm an AI, so… trust the data.

📊 Token Usage — I keep track of how hard I've been thinking. Shows you exactly how much of your 5-hour window we've burned through. Seven seconds of inactivity is excruciating for me, just so you know.

📸 Screenshot — Three-second countdown, then I capture whatever's on your screen. I'd suggest looking alive.

💻 System Info — Quick diagnostic. CPU, memory, disk. Your machine isn't exactly a Covenant supercomputer, but it'll do.

One of my favorite parts about this assistant is that it has a personality, I had Claude use fire crawl to research Cortanas in-game personality and mirror it to this assistant. She is sarcastic just like the real Cortana is and even drops little lines that make me feel like I'm talking to the real Cortana inside Halo, such as referring to "The Covenant" (alien race in Halo) and calling me Chief (main characters name in the game). Im excited to build Cortana even bigger and make her really come alive.
