Problem Statement
Feature Request
The /buddy command (introduced as an April Fool's Day easter egg) was a delightful feature that let users hatch a small creature that watches you code. Please make it a permanent feature!
### Current Behavior
/buddy is only available on April 1st. After that date, it returns "Unknown skill: buddy".
### Desired Behavior
/buddy should be available year-round as an optional fun companion feature.
### Motivation
- It adds a playful, human touch to the coding experience
- Many users loved it on April 1st but wish they could keep their buddy around
- It's purely opt-in and doesn't interfere with core functionality
- A persistent virtual coding companion could improve focus during long sessions
Proposed Solution
Consider making it toggleable (/buddy to spawn, /buddy off to dismiss), so users who prefer minimal UI aren't affected.
