session-stop.sh writes ~/.claude/buddymon/handoff.json with: buddy id,
XP earned, commit count, languages touched, caught monsters, challenge
state, any active encounter, and manual notes (for future /buddymon note).
session-start.sh reads handoff.json on next session start, injects a
'📬 From your last session' block into additionalContext, then removes
the file so it only fires once.
Closes#1 on Circuit-Forge/buddymon.
Each Claude Code session now gets its own state file at:
~/.claude/buddymon/sessions/<pgrp>.json
Contains: buddymon_id, session_xp, challenge — all session-local.
Global active.json keeps the default buddymon_id for new sessions.
/buddymon assign writes to the session file only, so assigning in one
terminal window doesn't affect other open sessions. Each window can
have its own buddy assigned independently.
SessionStart creates the session file (inheriting global default).
SessionStop reads XP from it, writes to roster, then removes it.
Stop hook clears active.challenge after reporting it.
Start hook assigns a random challenge from the buddy's pool if none is set.
Result: fresh challenge every session, no stale repeat.
Stop hook was emitting hookSpecificOutput with hookEventName=Stop,
which is not a valid hookSpecificOutput type (only PreToolUse,
PostToolUse, UserPromptSubmit are). Changed to systemMessage.
SessionStart still uses additionalContext (confirmed working).
Stale /buddymon-fight and /buddymon-catch references in session-start.sh
updated to /buddymon fight and /buddymon catch.
install.sh now creates a full circuitforge marketplace with marketplace.json
so CC can validate the plugin name against the index before loading.
Removed invalid extraKnownMarketplaces local source (only github/git valid).
- install.sh: symlink-based dev install, registers in installed_plugins.json
and settings.json, initializes ~/.claude/buddymon/ state files
- install.sh --uninstall to cleanly remove
- Fix stale /buddymon-start and /buddymon-assign references in session-start.sh
to use unified /buddymon start and /buddymon assign subcommands
