Survives every update. <!-- ============================================================ --> <!-- BADGES --> <!-- ============================================================ --> [](https://github.com/ramarivera/coding-buddy/releases) [](LICENSE) [](https://github.com/ramarivera/coding-buddy/stargazers) [](https://claude.ai/code) [](#requirements) [](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) <!-- ============================================================ --> <!-- HERO GIF — the most important asset --> <!-- ============================================================ --> <br> <img src="docs/hero.gif" alt="coding-buddy in action" width="800" /> <br><br> > **Anthropic removed `/buddy` in Claude Code v2.1.97.** This brings it back — *forever*. Same species, same stats, same personality. Now powered by MCP, so no update can ever take it away again. <br> <!-- ============================================================ --> <!-- FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS — 4-column grid, no borders --> <!-- ============================================================ --> <table> <tr> <td align="center" width="25%"> <h3>🛡️</h3> <b>Survives Updates</b><br> <sub>MCP-based, not binary-patched. Your buddy lives through every Claude Code release.</sub> </td> <td align="center" width="25%"> <h3>🎨</h3> <b>19 Species</b><br> <sub>From ducks to dragons — each with animated ASCII art and rarity colors.</sub> </td> <td align="center" width="25%"> <h3>💬</h3> <b>Speech Bubbles</b><br> <sub>End-of-turn reactions come from the model by default (MCP tool call). When that doesn't fire — older Claude Code, no MCP, a turn where the model didn't react — a Stop hook falls back to a tagged canned pool line so the bubble is never silent.</sub> </td> <td align="center" width="25%"> <h3>⚡</h3> <b>One-Command Install</b><br> <sub>Zero config. Works on any Claude Code v2.1.80+. Uninstall anytime.</sub> </td> </tr> </table> <br> </div> <!-- ============================================================ --> <!-- QUICK START --> <!-- ============================================================ --> <!-- ============================================================ --> <!-- CONTINUITY / MIGRATION --> <!-- ============================================================ --> ## 📦 Continuity / Migration The `claude-buddy` package ended at **v0.5.2**. **`@ramarivera/coding-buddy` begins at v0.6.0** and is its continuation. - Your existing buddy identity, menagerie, stats, and unlocks remain fully compatible. - Legacy state and config identifiers (for example `~/.claude-buddy/`, `mcpServers["claude-buddy"]`) are intentionally preserved so current installs keep working without reconfiguration. <!-- =====================================================
