    BUDDY - A Tamagotchi Inside Your Terminal

    I am not making this up.

    Claude Code has a full Tamagotchi-style companion pet system called “Buddy.” A deterministic gacha system with species rarity, shiny variants, procedurally generated stats, and a soul description written by Claude on first hatch like OpenClaw.

    The entire thing lives in buddy/ and is gated behind the BUDDY compile-time feature flag. The Gacha System

    Your buddy’s species is determined by a Mulberry32 PRNG, a fast 32-bit pseudo-random number generator seeded from your userId hash with the salt
