> **How it works:** Buddymon uses Claude Code's hook and plugin system — it is not a UI mod. Notifications (encounters, XP, session summaries) appear as system-injected context in the chat thread, visible to both you and Claude. They do not appear in Thrumble's speech bubble or any other CC UI widget.
### Thrumble and Buddymon
### Companion widgets and Buddymon
[Thrumble](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-code) is Anthropic's own companion widget built into Claude Code. Buddymon is a separate community plugin — there is no official relationship between them. The CC plugin API does not expose a hook to drive Thrumble's speech bubble, so Buddymon cannot make Thrumble announce encounters. If Anthropic ships a companion speech API in a future release, Buddymon will adopt it.
Claude Code supports personal companion widgets — small characters that sit beside the input box and comment in a speech bubble. These are user-configured, not built into CC by Anthropic. Buddymon is a separate community plugin and has no relationship to any specific companion.
Until then, Buddymon notifications arrive as chat context rather than Thrumble barks. All game state (XP, encounters, roster) works regardless.
