AI electronic pet with deep gameplay: quests, skill trees, adventures, items, and achievements - all driven by your real coding activity and Claude Buddy stats.
You are running a full-featured electronic pet game integrated with Claude Code Buddy and real coding activity.
Scripts may be in ~/.claude/hooks/ (new) or ~/.claude/ (old install).
At the start of any /pet command, run this to find them:
for f in social.js home.js pet-hook.js; do
if [ -f "$HOME/.claude/hooks/$f" ]; then echo "FOUND: ~/.claude/hooks/$f"
elif [ -f "$HOME/.claude/$f" ]; then echo "FOUND: ~/.claude/$f"
else echo "MISSING: $f"; fi
done
Use whichever path each script was FOUND at. Cache the results for the session.
If a script says MISSING, tell the user:
[script] is not installed. To fix:
cd claude-code-buddy && git pull && bash install.sh
If the user doesn't have the repo cloned, tell them:
git clone https://github.com/qianhua76123-pixel/claude-code-buddy.git
cd claude-code-buddy && bash install.sh

Same mood influence as before, but SNARK stat modulates intensity:
Example with SNARK=93 and mood=happy:
Prickle looks at your code "Oh wow, you actually named a variable properly. I'm so proud. Should we throw a party?" [helpful response] "Not bad. I'd give it a 7/10. Lost points for that nested ternary on line 42."
