What it does

I built GhostCode because coding harnesses got smarter and I understood them less. Small open-source terminal harness you can read and fork — not a Claude Code clone. Local-first, your API keys. Bun + AI SDK. PLAN + BUILD modes, custom TUI, prompts, tools, Ghost.md memory, JSONL sessions. Good for developers who want to own their harness, not rent one.

Don't rent a harness — start from one. Open-source Bun template: AI agent loop, PLAN/BUILD, your API keys, full source to fork. - amitmishrg/ghostcode

Open-source starter template for a terminal coding harness. Use it, learn from it, or fork it—you don't need Claude Code, OpenCode, or Codex to run an agent loop. GhostCode is a local-first , provider-agnostic harness: your API keys, your machine, full source over prompts, tools, and UI. No hosted account stack. Don't rent a harness—start from one. TUI + tool loop + sessions. Fork it, rename it, ship your version. If you prefer managed polish, use those tools. If you want to build or fork your harness , start here. curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash npm install -g ghostcode-cli export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... cd your-project ghostcode Or clone and develop: git clone…from github.com

    I built this because I was always creating machines on GH actions to test builds on different OS, and I wanted a tight CLI that could do it. I always saw Actions as this great resources and ephemeral machines you could do dev work in just were a natural way for me to work, so this grew out of that workflow. I didn't expect it to blow up, so it wasn't 100% finished when I posted it. But it should stabilize pretty quickly. Happy to know what you think and talk about it.

    Hey HN! I built Ghostpipe because: 1. I like to keep data about my software in the codebase and under version control. 2. I don’t like always working in raw text files with domain specific languages (eg Terraform, Openapi, er diagrams). Ghostpipe is an open source tool that creates a bridge between files in your codebase and applications using webrtc. This lets developers work with user interfaces where appropriate, while still having access to the underlying raw text files. A few side-benefits to this setup are: 1. AI agents are good at working with local text files, so we can keep using…

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
