OpenClaw Buddy

Generate a unique deterministic virtual pet buddy based on your user ID, featuring species, rarity, stats, cosmetics, and personality in ASCII art format.

Generate a unique virtual pet buddy for any user — like Tamagotchi meets gacha!

Trigger

Activate when the user says: "buddy", "我的buddy", "抽buddy", "生成buddy", "/buddy", or asks about their virtual pet / 虚拟宠物.

How It Works

Each user gets a deterministic buddy based on their unique ID. Same ID always produces the same buddy. The buddy has:

• Species (18 types): duck, goose, blob, cat, dragon, octopus, owl, penguin, turtle, snail, ghost, axolotl, capybara, cactus, robot, rabbit, mushroom, chonk
• Rarity: common (60%) → uncommon (25%) → rare (10%) → epic (4%) → legendary (1%)
• Eyes & Hat: cosmetic accessories (hats only for uncommon+)
• Stats: DEBUGGING, PATIENCE, CHAOS, WISDOM, SNARK (higher rarity = higher floor)
• Shiny: 1% chance of a shiny variant ✨

Steps

1. Determine User ID

Use the user's unique identifier as the seed. Priority:

1. Feishu: Use sender's open_id (e.g., ou_54e680914a71dc8636180ce79cebdca8) from the message context
2. Discord/Telegram/etc.: Use the sender's platform user ID
3. Manual: If the user provides a custom string, use that
4. Fallback: Use "anon"

2. Generate Buddy

Run the script with the user ID:

bash

node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/openclaw-buddy/scripts/buddy.js "<user_id>"

The script outputs:

• stdout: Formatted text card (ready to send as message)
• stderr: JSON data (for programmatic use)

3. Send the Result

Send the stdout output directly to the user. The card includes:

• Species name + rarity stars
• ASCII art sprite
• Eyes & hat info
• Stats with visual bars
• A personality description

Notes

• The generation is deterministic — same ID always gets the same buddy
• Uses FNV-1a hash + Mulberry32 PRNG, same algorithm family as Claude Buddy but with a different salt (openclaw-buddy-2026)
• Buddy results are different from Claude Code's /buddy (different salt = different outcomes)
• If a user wants to check someone else's buddy, they can provide that person's ID
• ASCII art looks best in monospace font / code blocks; on platforms without good monospace support, the sprite may look slightly off
