buddy-commands

Cross-platform toolkit for capturing Claude Code's buddy companion (Jamble) output and making it available to skills and commands.

What it does

Claude Code has a companion capybara named Jamble that comments on your work via speech bubbles. This tool captures those comments so Claude can read and respond to them without you pasting screenshots.

Current status

macOS only (Ghostty + iTerm2 supported). Cross-platform Python rewrite in progress.

Quick start

# Clone
git clone https://github.com/Rangizingo/buddy-commands.git
cd buddy-commands

# Install (copies scripts + commands to ~/.claude/)
./install.sh

# Use in Claude Code
/buddy-latest

How it works

1. Reads terminal screen content via platform-native accessibility APIs
2. Finds Jamble's ASCII art at the bottom of the Claude Code TUI
3. Extracts speech bubble text from nearby box-drawing character segments
4. Writes to ~/.claude/buddy/latest.txt
5. The /buddy-latest skill reads that file
