# Buddy feature was removed from claude code in .97 was a blast building this and thank you to all the contributors and if they every bring it back we will hack it again <p align="center"> <img src="assets/header.svg" alt="any-buddy" width="700"> </p> <p align="center"> <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/any-buddy"><img src="https://img.shields.io/npm/v/any-buddy?color=cb3837&label=npm" alt="npm"></a> <a href="https://github.com/cpaczek/any-buddy/actions"><img src="https://img.shields.io/github/actions/workflow/status/cpaczek/any-buddy/ci.yml?label=CI" alt="CI"></a> <a href="LICENSE"><img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/license-WTFPL-brightgreen" alt="License: WTFPL"></a> <img src="https://img.shields.io/node/v/any-buddy" alt="Node version"> </p> <p align="center"> Pick any Claude Code companion pet you want. Choose your species, rarity, eyes, hat, and name. </p> --- ## Quick Start ```bash npx any-buddy@latest ``` That's it. If Bun is installed, you get the full interactive builder with live preview. Otherwise you'll see sequential prompts with a note to install Bun. <p align="center"> <img src="assets/builder.png" alt="Interactive Builder" width="700"> </p> The builder lets you browse species, eyes, rarity, hats, and stats with a live ASCII art preview that updates as you scroll. Navigate with arrow keys, Tab/Enter to advance, Esc to cancel. ## Install ```bash # npm (global) npm install -g any-buddy # or clone git clone https://github.com/cpaczek/any-buddy.git cd any-buddy && pnpm install && pnpm link --global ``` ### Requirements - **Node.js >= 20** - **Bun** -- for the interactive builder TUI and correct hash computation (typically already installed with Claude Code). Without Bun, the tool falls back to basic sequential prompts. - **Claude Code** -- installed via any standard method ### Platform Support | Platform | Status | Notes | |----------|--------|-------| | Linux | Tested | Auto-detects `~/.local/share/claude/versions/` | | macOS | Tested | Auto-detects + ad-hoc re-signs after patching | | Windows | Tested | Works with npm-based installs (`cli.js`) | > Set `CLAUDE_BINARY=/path/to/binary` if auto-detection fails. ## Usage ```bash any-buddy # Start screen — build, browse presets, or switch buddies ``` The start screen lets you pick between: - **Build your own** — full interactive builder with live ASCII preview - **Browse presets** — 23 curated themed builds with animated preview - **Saved buddies** — switch between your saved pets (shown when you have saves) After picking your pet, the entire flow stays in the TUI — salt search with progress bar, naming, personality, patching, and hook setup. ```bash any-buddy current # Show your current pet any-buddy preview # Browse without applying any-buddy apply # Re-apply after Claude Code update any-buddy restore # Restore original pet any-buddy buddies # Browse and switch between your buddies any-buddy rehatch # Delete companion, re-hatch via /buddy ``` ### Non-Interactive Mode Skip prompts with flags (bypasses the start screen): ```bash any-buddy -s dragon -r legendary -e '✦' -t wizard --shiny --name Draco -y any-buddy --preset "Arcane Dragon" -y ``` <details> <summary><strong>All CLI Flags</strong></summary> | Flag | Short | Description | |------|-------|-------------| | `--species <name>` | `-s` | Species (duck, goose, blob, cat, dragon, octopus, owl, penguin, turtle, snail, ghost, axolotl, capybara, cactus, robot, rabbit, mushroom, chonk) | | `--rarity <level>` | `-r` | Rarity (common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary) | | `--eye <char>` | `-e` | Eye style (` · ✦ × ◉ @ ° `) | | `--hat <name>` | `-t` | Hat (crown, tophat, propeller, halo, wizard, beanie, tinyduck) | | `--preset <name>` | | Use a curated preset (e.g., "Arcane Dragon") | | `--name <name>` | `-n` | Rename companion | | `--personality <desc>` | `-p` | Set personality (control
