BUDDY - A Tamagotchi Inside Your Terminal

I am not making this up.

Claude Code has a full Tamagotchi-style companion pet system called "Buddy." A deterministic gacha system with species rarity, shiny variants, procedurally generated stats, and a soul description written by Claude on first hatch like OpenClaw.

The entire thing lives in buddy/ and is gated behind the BUDDY compile-time feature flag. The Gacha System

Your buddy's species is determined by a Mulberry32 PRNG, a fast 32-bit pseudo-random number generator seeded from your userId hash with the salt

    It has also been rewritten in python, due to copyright issues.

    They say this was done with Codex and OpenCode.

    I admit I'm behind the time with AI coding agents. Is it actually possible to do that effectively in such a short time? Or is this going to be riddled with sloppy bugs?

    I would say recompiling code with discrete units tests is probably a good use case. It allows for a tight feedback loop with the agent.

    You will probably get the mean deliverable. Not industrial unless you think to bake in the requirements.

    That a lot of tokens getting consumed in the background presumably on the user budget?
