Buddydex
1 min read
Gotta hash them all. Claude Code buddies were released as an easter egg on April 1, 2026. They were removed shortly after.
Buddies generated deterministically. Species, rarity, stats, and shiny status all derive from a hash of your account id, and re-roll every launch. BuddyDex brute-forces that pipeline to find the ids that produce the buddy you want.
