Your favorite Terminal Coding Agent, now in Rust & a Breakdown of the Claude Code leak & discoveries - Kuberwastaken/claurst

This repository is a backup of that leaked source, and this README is a full breakdown of what’s in it, how the leak happened and most importantly, the things we now know that were never meant to be public.

I am not making this up.

Claude Code has a full Tamagotchi-style companion pet system called “Buddy.” A deterministic gacha system with species rarity, shiny variants, procedurally generated stats, and a soul description written by Claude on first hatch like OpenClaw.

    Each buddy gets procedurally generated:

    5 stats: DEBUGGING, PATIENCE, CHAOS, WISDOM, SNARK (0-100 each) 6 possible eye styles and 8 hat options (some gated by rarity) A “soul” as mentioned, the personality generated by Claude on first hatch, written in character

    The sprites are rendered as 5-line-tall, 12-character-wide ASCII art with multiple animation frames. There are idle animations, reaction animations, and they sit next to your input prompt.

    what if bonzi buddy evaporated the ocean

    The code references April 1-7, 2026 as a teaser window (so probably for easter?), with a full launch gated for May 2026. The companion has a system prompt that tells Claude:

    A small {species} named {name} sits beside the user’s input box and occasionally comments in a speech bubble. You’re not {name} - it’s a separate watcher.

    So it’s not just cosmetic - the buddy has its own personality and can respond when addressed by name. I really do hope they ship it.

      Neat we should liberate this. I want a little terminally online guy in my prompt but I don’t need the generative shit, a state machine is fine too.
