My Claude Code terminal is home to a snarky ghost.


/buddy with a tap, a property card pops out: Ghost, COMMON rarity, the highest of its five attributes is SNARK—82 points. Debugging ability 19, patience 14, but its snarkiness is maxed out.
It will roast you in real-time based on your current conversation. I just tried all commands and found I couldn't change the name, and it immediately said:
▎ "Yet another user discovers limitations. Shocking." Another user discovers the restrictions. Truly shocking.
The entire buddy system hides quite a few details: 18 species (from ghosts to capybaras to mushrooms), 5 rarity levels, and a 1% chance of a shiny version. Your species is determined by your account ID hash and cannot be changed—hidden in the salt string is friend-2026-401, where 401 is an April Fools' joke.
How to play:
• /buddy — Hatch your pet and see what fate has in store for you
• /buddy card — Check the property card to see if your peak is wisdom or snark
• /buddy pet — Pet it for some love animation
• Call it by name directly, and it will reply on behalf of Claude
• Not happy with the species you drew? Use buddy-reroll to re-roll
Now every time a bug is debugged, it’s there side-eyeing you. SNARK 82 isn’t given for nothing.
