Description
The /buddy feature (terminal pet that watches you code and gives tips) disappeared after a recent update.
Version: v2.1.107 (Windows 11)
Behavior: /buddy returns "Unknown command"
Expected: The axolotl buddy should appear at the bottom of the screen, observe coding, and give opinions/tips.
Context
- The buddy was an axolotl that persisted between sessions
- It watched what I was doing and gave relevant tips
- It had personality and was genuinely useful for the coding experience
- It was one of my favorite features of Claude Code
Request
Please restore /buddy as a permanent feature. It added real value to the coding experience, not just entertainment.
Thank you.
