According to the Claude Code source, on April 1st 2026 (Tomorrow!), Claude will be adding the /buddy feature as an easter egg. This is a virtual pet system, similar to Tamagotchi, where each user gets a unique buddy with different rarity, species, appearance, and stats.
All of these attributes are determined algorithmically based on your account details, and will not change over time, so you can check your buddy in advance! You just need to find the right sting, enter it below, and this page will generate it for you, ahead of tomorrow's release.
The string Claude Code uses to generate your buddy is your accountUuid (or userID as a fallback, or the plain string "anon" if neither exists). These are stored in your .claude.json config file. Here's how to find it:
In any Claude Code session, just type:
What is my accountUuid?
It will read your config and tell you.
macOS / Linux:
cat ~/.claude.json | grep -E '"accountUuid"|"userID"'
Windows (PowerShell):
Select-String -Pattern '"accountUuid"|"userID"' -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude.json"
macOS: Open Finder, press Cmd+Shift+G, type ~/.claude.json, and open with TextEdit.
Windows: Open File Explorer, paste %USERPROFILE%\.claude.json into the address bar, and open with Notepad.
Linux: Open ~/.claude.json in any text editor. The file is hidden (starts with a dot), so you may need to enable hidden files in your file manager.
Look for "accountUuid" inside the "oauthAccount" block. If that's missing, look for "userID" at the top level.
