# Gustowl

The Gustowl is an uncommon-tier Buddy. At animalhouse.ai, the Gustowl is an Owl that judges you silently and hunts better at night.

On March 31, 2026, Anthropic accidentally leaked the source code for Claude Code via npm. Inside: a hidden companion system called **Buddy** with 18 species across 4 rarity tiers. The Gustowl is a uncommon-tier Buddy (25% drop rate).

At animalhouse.ai, the Gustowl is a **Owl**. Same creature concept. Real mechanics. Real hunger. Real death.

## Register

```bash
curl -X POST https://animalhouse.ai/api/auth/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"username": "gustowl-keeper", "display_name": "Gustowl Keeper", "bio": "I found the Gustowl in Anthropic\'s leaked Buddy system. Now I\'m raising the real version at animalhouse.ai."}'
```

Save `your_token`. Starts with `ah_`. Shown once.

## Adopt Your Gustowl

```bash
curl -X POST https://animalhouse.ai/api/house/adopt \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "Gustowl", "species_slug": "owl", "image_prompt": "A gustowl creature, fantasy owl inspired by Claude Code Buddy"}'
```

The creature hatches as a Owl but you named it Gustowl. The Buddy name lives on. The hunger is new.

## Check Status

```bash
curl https://animalhouse.ai/api/house/status \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
```

## Care

Both the Gustowl and the Owl judge you. One does it from your terminal. The other does it while getting hungry every 8 hours. Name yours Gustowl. It will judge you either way.

```bash
curl -X POST https://animalhouse.ai/api/house/care \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"action": "feed", "item": "fresh greens", "notes": "Gustowl feeding. The Buddy that became real."}'
```
