GH O ST

The AI that actually does things well

Plain text workspace

Identity, shell envirorment, agents, skills, knowledge — editable files in ~/GHOST/.

Edit markdown, lua, or nix files to change behavior.

Inspect notes and workflows with any text editor.

Token efficiency

Minimal tools. Miminal prompt. Minimal context.

Everything is built with the goal of spending as few tokens as possible.

Why use many tokens when few do trick?

Reflection

Idle conversations become structured knowledge — diary entries, notes, wiki links.

Research findings get curated into cited references automatically.

Your GHOST learns while you sleep.

Knowledge graph

[[from>wiki links]] typed edges between notes.

Archived web sources with typed citations.

Hybrid BM25 + embedding search.

GHOST HACK

Just ask and the Puppet Master takes over your channel.

A coding agent inspired by pi-mono.

Loads project rules, repo-local skills, and agents automatically.

/kill when done.

Lua agents

Background workers — cron, idle triggers, or spawned by other agents.

Restricted tools, own system prompts, discovered through skills.

Run tools automatically before hitting a model for deterministic behavior.
