Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00109 | $0.00495 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00044 | $0.00198 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00099 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00049 |
Grade A, and why
cardputer-buddy scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
100% identical to cardputer-buddy — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Cardputer Buddy app bundle
The buddy/ directory in the local build-with-claude clone is the MicroPython payload that m5-onboard installs onto /flash/. Work inside that clone.
Device layout
/flash/
├── main.py launcher menu (replaces UIFlow's boot flow)
├── buddy_*.py shared libs (BLE, UI, state, protocol, chars)
├── burst_frames.py sprite frames
└── apps/
├── claude_buddy.py BLE client → Claude Desktop's Hardware Buddy
├── hello_cardputer.py
└── snake.py
main.py scans /flash/apps/ at boot and lists every .py as a menu entry. Drop a file into buddy/device/apps/, push it, and it appears on next boot.
Adding an app
Crib from buddy/device/apps/hello_cardputer.py — smallest example of keyboard polling, font, and exit conventions. Then push without re-flashing:
python3 onboard/scripts/install_apps.py --port <PORT> --src buddy
<PORT> is whatever detect.py reported last run (e.g. /dev/cu.usbmodem1101, /dev/ttyACM0, COM3).
Dev loop tooling (buddy/scripts/)
# Push a subset of files over USB-serial
python3 buddy/scripts/push.py --port <PORT> --files apps/snake.py
# Watch device logs
python3 buddy/scripts/tail_serial.py --port <PORT>
# One-shot REPL exec
python3 buddy/scripts/repl_run.py --port <PORT> --script "import os; print(os.listdir('/flash'))"
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cardputer-buddy is a skill published in the GitHub repository thevibeworks/claude-code-docs (158 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 109 tokens to every session and 495 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to cardputer-buddy, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
