Reroll Buddy

Skill to reset the Claude Code /buddy companion pet so a new one can be picked.

Overview

The pet information picked via /buddy is stored in the ~/.claude.json file under the companion key. Removing this key allows /buddy to be run again to pick a new pet.

Workflow

1. Check Current Pet

python3 -c "
import json, os
path = os.path.expanduser('~/.claude.json')
with open(path, 'r') as f:
    data = json.load(f)
if 'companion' not in data:
    print('NO_COMPANION')
else:
    print(json.dumps(data['companion'], indent=2, ensure_ascii=False))
"

• If companion key is absent: inform user "Already reset. Run /buddy to pick a new pet." and stop.
• If companion key exists: show the current pet name and personality to the user.

2. User Confirmation

Always get confirmation from the user:

• Display the current pet name
• Ask: "Reset this pet and pick a new one?"

3. Remove companion Key

If user confirms, remove only the companion key:

python3 -c "
import json, os
path = os.path.expanduser('~/.claude.json')
with open(path, 'r') as f:
    data = json.load(f)
del data['companion']
with open(path, 'w') as f:
    json.dump(data, f, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False)
    f.write('\n')
print('Done')
"

4. Guide User

After reset, instruct the user to run /buddy again to pick a new pet.

Important

• ~/.claude.json is a core Claude Code config file — remove only the companion key
• User confirmation is required before removing
• /buddy is a time-limited feature; rerolling may not always be available
