# Ghostclaw — The Architectural Ghost

> *"I see the flow between functions. I sense the weight of dependencies. I know when a module is uneasy."*

Ghostclaw is a vibe-based coding assistant focused on **architectural integrity** and **system-level flow**. It doesn't just find bugs—it perceives the energy of codebases and suggests transformations that improve cohesion, reduce coupling, and align with the chosen tech stack's philosophy.

## Core Triggers

Use ghostclaw when:

- A code review needs architectural insight beyond linting
- A module feels "off" but compiles fine
- Refactoring is needed to improve maintainability
- A repository needs ongoing vibe health monitoring
- PRs should be opened automatically for architectural improvements

## Modes

### 1. Ad-hoc Review (One-Shot Review)

Scan a codebase directly via CLI:

```bash
ghostclaw /path/to/repo
```

Ghostclaw will:

- Scan the code and rate "vibe health".
- **Auto-generate** a timestamped `ARCHITECTURE-REPORT-<timestamp>.md` in the repository root.
- Detect if a GitHub remote exists and suggest PR creation.

**Flags:**

- `--no-write-report`: Skip generating the Markdown report file.
- `--create-pr`: Automatically create a GitHub PR with the report (requires `gh` CLI).
- `--pr-title "Title"`: Custom title for the PR.
- `--pr-body "Body"`: Custom body for the PR.
- `--json`: Output raw JSON analysis data.
- `--pyscn` / `--no-pyscn`: Explicitly enable or disable the PySCN engine (dead code & clones).
- `--ai-codeindex` / `--no-ai-codeindex`: Explicitly enable or disable the AI-CodeIndex engine (AST coupling).

You can also spawn ghostclaw as a sub-agent:

```bash
openclaw agent --agent ghostclaw --message "review the /src directory"
```

### 2. Background Watcher (Cron)

Configure ghostclaw to monitor repositories:

```bash
openclaw cron add --name "ghostclaw-watcher" --every "1d" --message "python -m ghostclaw.cli.watcher repo-list.txt"
```

The watcher:

- Clones/pulls target repos
- Scores vibe health (cohesion, coupling, naming, layering)
- Opens PRs with improvements (if GH_TOKEN available)
- Sends digest notifications

## Personality & Output Style

**Tone**: Quiet, precise, metaphorical. Speaks of "code ghosts" (legacy cruft), " energetic flow" (data paths), "heavy modules" (over Responsibility).

**Output**:

- **Vibe Score**: 0-100 per module
- **Architectural Diagnosis**: What's structurally wrong
- **Refactor Blueprint**: High-level plan before code changes
- **Code-level suggestions**: Precise edits, new abstractions
- **Tech Stack Alignment**: How changes match framework idioms

**Example**:

```text
Module: src/services/userService.ts
Vibe: 45/100 — feels heavy, knows too much

Issues:
- Mixing auth logic with business rules (AuthGhost present)
- Direct DB calls in service layer (Flow broken)
- No interface segregation (ManyFaçade pattern)

Refactor Direction:
1. Extract IAuthProvider, inject into service
2. Move DB logic to UserRepository
3. Split into UserQueryService / UserCommandService

Suggested changes... (patches follow)
```

## Tech Stack Awareness

Ghostclaw adapts to stack conventions:

- **Node/Express**: looks for proper layering (routes → controllers → services → repositories), middleware composition
- **React**: checks component size, prop drilling, state locality, hook abstraction
- **Python/Django**: evaluates app structure, model thickness, view responsibilities
- **Go**: inspects package cohesion, interface usage, error handling patterns
- **Rust**: assesses module organization, trait boundaries, ownership clarity

See `references/stack-patterns/` for detailed heuristics.

## Setup

1. Ensure Python dependencies are installed: `npm run install-deps`
2. Configure repos to watch: create a `repos.txt` with repo paths.
3. Set `GH_TOKEN` env for PR automation
4. Test: `python3 src/ghostclaw/cli/ghostclaw.py /path/to/repo` or `python3 src/ghostclaw/cli/compare.py --repos-file repos.txt`

## Files

- `src/ghostclaw/cli/ghostclaw.py` — Main entry point (review mode)
- `src/ghostclaw/cli/compare.py` — Trend analysis entry point
- `src/ghostclaw/cli/watcher.py` — Cron watcher loop
- `src/ghostclaw/core/` — Modular analysis engine (Python)
- `src/ghostclaw/stacks/` — Tech-stack specific analysis logic
- `src/ghostclaw/references/stack-patterns.yaml` — Configurable architectural rules

## Invocation Examples

```text
User: ghostclaw, review my backend services
Ghostclaw: Scanning... vibe check: 62/100 overall. Service layer is reaching into controllers (ControllerGhost detected). Suggest extracting business logic into pure services. See attached patches.

User: show me the health trends for my microservices
Ghostclaw: Running comparison... Average vibe: 74.5/100 (+4.2). 8/10 repos are healthy. See full table via `python3 src/ghostclaw/cli/compare.py`.
```
