GhostMode

The Air-Gapped, Self-Healing Code Repair Agent for Low-Resource Hardware.

GhostMode runs a trusted test command, identifies a likely application frame, asks a local Ollama model for a function replacement, applies it with a backup, and retains it only after the tests pass. It never contacts a network target other than loopback Ollama.

Supported languages

GhostMode currently supports Python, JavaScript/React (.js, .jsx, .ts, .tsx), and PHP/Laravel. Python receives AST syntax validation; JavaScript/React and PHP use conservative structural validation before their own local test tools provide final verification.

Install and run

pip install ghostmode-cli
ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:1.5b
ghostmode doctor

To upgrade an existing installation:

pip install --upgrade ghostmode-cli

Run GhostMode from the project you want to repair:

ghostmode run "pytest -q"

For npm projects:

ghostmode run "npm test"

Inspect a project locally for high-signal risks without changing files:

ghostmode inspect

Each finding includes severity, repair priority, and potential impact so developers can review the most harmful risks first.

Ask the local model to propose one high-priority inspection fix:

ghostmode inspect --propose --test-cmd "pytest -q"

GhostMode asks before applying the proposal. For stronger verification, add a regression test first: GhostMode can apply the proposal only when that failing test turns green.

Use --dry-run to review a diff without changing files. GhostMode never edits tests unless --allow-test-edits is explicitly passed. For Vitest projects, ghostmode run "npm test" automatically uses single-run mode instead of watch mode.

Memory budget

Limitations

Small local models are best at simple, single-function faults. Multi-file, API-wide, and logic-heavy repairs often need human review. Only run trusted test commands: the command is intentionally executed through a shell to support normal test invocations.
