README

any-buddy

Node version

Pick any Claude Code companion pet you want. Choose your species, rarity, eyes, hat, and name.

Quick Start

npx any-buddy@latest

That's it. If Bun is installed, you get the full interactive builder with live preview. Otherwise you'll see sequential prompts with a note to install Bun.

Interactive Builder

The builder lets you browse species, eyes, rarity, hats, and stats with a live ASCII art preview that updates as you scroll. Navigate with arrow keys, Tab/Enter to advance, Esc to cancel.

Install

# npm (global)
npm install -g any-buddy

# or clone
git clone https://github.com/cpaczek/any-buddy.git
cd any-buddy && pnpm install && pnpm link --global

Requirements

Node.js >= 20
Bun -- for the interactive builder TUI and correct hash computation (typically already installed with Claude Code). Without Bun, the tool falls back to basic sequential prompts.
Claude Code -- installed via any standard method
