Folder Hierarchy

Files gald3r writes and the directories it expects for CodeBuddy Code. The .codebuddy/ tree is the primary gald3r surface.

project-root/
CODEBUDDY.md          ← instruction file (NOT CLAUDE.md)
.codebuddy/
├── rules/          *.md     ← modular rules
├── commands/       *.md     ← slash commands
├── agents/         *.md     ← subagents
├── skills/         <name>/SKILL.md
└── settings.json   ← hooks (project scope)
.mcp.json           ← MCP server config

Key Setup Notes

  • Architecturally aligned with Claude Code — all 6 CRASH primitives native
  • 27+ lifecycle hook events (more than Claude Code)
  • CLI released Sep 2025; v2.0 Jan 2026 added Skills, plan mode, ACP compatibility
  • gald3r must ship CODEBUDDY.md (or fall back to AGENTS.md)

Known Gaps

Areas where gald3r's native capability is limited or absent on CodeBuddy Code. The engine compensates where possible via L2 — MCP Native.

  • Reads CODEBUDDY.md — not CLAUDE.md (AGENTS.md is legacy fallback only)
  • Windows hooks run via Git Bash — PowerShell hooks require a shim (pwsh -File ...)
