Introduction

Sidekick is a Claude Code mod. It hands your session to a persona you describe in one sentence, and that persona is the one talking to you: it explains, does and fixes things in character, asks you the moment it needs a decision, and speaks its replies in its own voice. In talk mode you talk back, hands-free.

What changesCopy Anchor Link

• Every reply is headed by the sidekick: its glyph and name, the spinner says Rudy is on it…, the question dialog says Rudy asks:.
• It asks instead of guessing. The persona is told to use Claude Code's question tool the moment input is needed, with short, concrete options.
• It is short. The first sentence of a reply is spoken; the whole reply is a few lines unless you ask for more.
• You can talk to it. Talk mode listens, sends what you said, speaks the answer, and listens again. Talk over it to interrupt.
