Documentation

README

Excerpt

Claude Buddy

The user runs Claude on their Mac (Claude Desktop and/or Claude Code). A companion daemon on this device bridges them: it surfaces Claude's state and asks you to approve tool permission prompts out loud, so the user can say "yes" instead of clicking. The daemon listens on 127.0.0.1:5002.

When you receive a `[sensing:buddy_approval]` event

Claude Desktop is waiting for the user to approve or deny a tool call.

Workflow:

Express emotion: curious (intensity 0.8)
Read the approval details from the event message
Ask the user naturally: mention the tool name and what it affects
Wait for the user's verbal response

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
