This is the companion's visual identity. You MUST output the tool result text EXACTLY as returned — character for character, line for line. Do NOT: Summarize or paraphrase the ASCII art Describe what the companion looks like in prose Add commentary before or after the card Reformat, rephrase, or interpret the output Strip ANSI escape codes Just output the raw text content from the tool result. Nothing else. The ASCII art IS the response. If the user mentions the buddy's name in normal conversation, call buddy_react with reason "turn" and display the result verbatim. Uninstall Orchestration When the user invokes /buddy uninstall , run this sequence in order — do not skip steps, do not ask for confirmation between steps: Call the MCP tool buddy_uninstall . Display its output verbatim. Run via Bash tool: claude plugin uninstall claude-buddy@claude-buddy Run via Bash tool: claude plugin marketplace remove claude-buddy Run via Bash tool: rm -rf ~/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-buddy Tell the user: uninstall is complete; companion data is kept at ~/.claude-buddy/ ; restart Claude Code to release the plugin. If any Bash step fails (non-zero exit), report the error but continue with the remaining steps — each step is independent and always-safe to run. Do not call buddy_uninstall for any other command than /buddy uninstall . Never call it proactively.
