Buddy Platform

On-demand cloud infrastructure via bdy CLI. Run bdy <command> --help for flag details.

Authentication

If any command returns Token not provided or Not logged in: ask the user to run bdy login in a separate terminal (AI cannot do interactive OAuth). To check if user is logged in run bdy whoami

Sandbox (bdy sandbox|sb)

Cloud environments for dynamic apps (servers, databases, background processes).

Critical Rules

• Sandboxes must live in a project. Before sandbox create, check bdy whoami for a project context and the BUDDY_PROJECT env var. If neither is set, ask the user (AskUserQuestion) whether to create a new project, then run bdy proj link -p <project> to attach it.
• Apps MUST bind to 0.0.0.0 (not 127.0.0.1) for endpoints to work
• ALWAYS use --ignore "node_modules/**" ".git/**" when copying projects — install deps on sandbox instead.
• Preinstalled on Ubuntu 24.04: Node.js 24, Python 3.12, Go 1.25, Git, curl, jq, ripgrep
