No way to permanently disable /buddy feature
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 6, 2026 by gabrielalonshield Closed Apr 9, 2026
Description
The /buddy feature (April Fools' Easter egg) appears every time Claude Code is opened, with no obvious way to permanently disable it.
Expected behavior
There should be a clear setting or flag to disable /buddy so it doesn't appear on startup.
Current workaround
Manually added "buddy": "off" to ~/.claude/settings.json, but this doesn't appear to be a documented setting.
Environment
- Claude Code CLI
- macOS
