Pixel Buddy
Pixel Buddy is a pixel pet plugin for Claude Code that lives in the terminal footer and reacts to coding work.
Pixel Buddy is a pixel pet plugin designed for Claude Code users. It hatches an egg in the terminal footer next to the status line and runs locally on the user machine without sending data outward. The pet eats items dropped by coding work, levels up, performs tricks, tells facts during thinking periods, takes naps during inactivity, and responds to mouse clicks. Users can collect rare trophies for milestones like night commits or daily streaks, view them in a trophy case, and share cards. The plugin includes eight different species and supports installation via Claude Code prompts or desktop app plugins.
