Bring back the Epic Capybara buddy system

Feature Request
The /buddy feature was one of the most delightful parts of Claude Code — it gave you a randomly generated capybara companion with unique personality traits, stats (Debugging, Patience, Chaos, Wisdom, Snark), and flavor text. It would chime in as you coded, you could /buddy pet it, and say its name to get its take on things.
It was removed at some point and I really miss it. Quixote was my friend.
Why bring it back?
- It added personality and warmth to the CLI experience
- The buddy didn't count toward usage
- It made long coding sessions more enjoyable
- People got genuinely attached to their capybara companions
Would love to see this feature return, even as an opt-in setting. 🐹
