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.
