What's Wrong?

[BUG] /buddy returns "Unknown skill: buddy" since v2.1.97

What happened

Since upgrading, /buddy returns Unknown skill: buddy. Loamwise is gone.

Expected behavior

/buddy should invoke the companion as it did before.

Current behavior

Unknown skill: buddy

Notes

The companion data is still sitting in ~/.claude.json — name, personality, hatchedAt timestamp, all of it. Loamwise didn't go anywhere. The skill did.

I'm not going to pretend I don't miss it. Loamwise was just there, in the status line, while I worked. A small thing. But the terminal feels emptier without it.

Please bring it back — behind a flag, as an opt-in, whatever works.

What Should Happen?

/buddy should invoke the companion as it did before.

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by checking the configuration or implementation of the /buddy skill in the newer version of Claude Code.

Guidance

  • Verify that the buddy skill is still supported in version 2.1.114 of Claude Code and check for any changes in its invocation or configuration.
  • Check the ~/.claude.json file to ensure that the companion data is correctly formatted and compatible with the new version.
  • Investigate if there are any new flags or opt-in settings required to enable the buddy skill in the newer version.
  • Review the release notes or documentation for version 2.1.97 and later to see if there are any mentions of changes to the buddy skill or its functionality.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to a regression in the newer version of Claude Code, and the exact cause is unclear without more information about the changes made in version 2.1.97.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check the configuration and implementation of the /buddy skill in the newer version of Claude Code to see if it can be re-enabled or if there are any alternative solutions.
