How it works
- Each tool call becomes an activity line, such as reading foo.ts or running npm test
- A tool call earns 1 XP and a finished turn 2, from egg through child and teen to adult
- Food, mood and energy drift down, and the pet gets sick if they slide too far
- A flashing red ! appears when Claude asks you something or waits on a plan approval
Common questions
Does this bring back Claude Code's /buddy?
No. Pixipet is a separate community mod with its own pet, so a buddy you had before, and its stats, don't carry over. Type /pet to meet it.
How do I take care of the pet?
Use the buttons on the band or in the /pet pane, or run /pet feed, /pet play, /pet clean or /pet sleep. A sick pet needs /pet heal, since cleaning alone doesn't cure it. Time away is capped, so no stat drops below 15 while you're gone.
What does the pet read from my session?
The session's tool calls and turns (tool name, file names, a Bash command or its description, a search pattern, a fetched URL's host) and Claude Code's theme and language settings. The README says it stores only the pet's stats and your choices, nothing about your code or prompts.
Can I change how the pet looks?
Yes. /pet species switches between ten species, such as mallow, a fox kit, or luma, a moth. /pet skin lcd draws it on a retro handheld screen in four greens, and /pet band mini shrinks the band to one line.
