BuddyBoard: A Competitive Leaderboard for Claude Code's /buddy Feature
What BuddyBoard Does
BuddyBoard takes Claude Code's /buddy feature — which generates a random AI companion with ASCII art and personality — and turns it into a competitive leaderboard system. The tool reads your Claude configuration, computes your buddy's stats deterministically, and submits them to a global ranking at buddyboard.xyz.
Key Features
- Trading card system: Each buddy gets a trading card with one of 18 ASCII species
- Five stats: Debugging, Patience, Chaos, Wisdom, and Snark
- Rarity tiers: Common (60%), Rare, Epic, and Legendary (1%) — legendaries feature holographic shimmer CSS effects
- BuddyDex: Tracks all 1,728 possible species/eye/hat combinations
- Team features: Organization team dashboards for group competition
- Embeddable cards: HTML cards for GitHub profile READMEs
How It Works
The buddy data is deterministic, using the same algorithm Claude Code employs: a Mulberry32 PRNG (pseudorandom number generator) seeded from your account hash. This means your buddy is consistently yours across sessions.
To use it: npx buddy-board
The tool reads your Claude config automatically, computes your buddy's stats, and submits them to the global ranking.
