An office that knows your business
Your founding interview answers become your handbook, the rule sheet your office works by. It sits in a shared drive, a folder your whole crew can read, right next to the real jobs your crew has already finished.
01 / FREE FOR MAC
Ghostware is a free install. It sets up an office on your computer, one folder holding your rules, your files and the agents you hire, the way a filing cabinet holds a business's paperwork. The agents you hire there do real jobs, and it teaches you how every piece works while you build it.
macOS 13+ · git · Claude Code and/or Codex on your own plan
I taught myself this over the last four years. It got me hired at Scribient, a clinic software company, where I became the lead developer and automation expert and built out the Scribient system.
02 / WHAT YOU GET
Your founding interview answers become your handbook, the rule sheet your office works by. It sits in a shared drive, a folder your whole crew can read, right next to the real jobs your crew has already finished.
A job that shows up every week gets its own role card: the task it owns, what it's never allowed to do, and the check that has to pass before you approve it. Say yes, and it joins your crew.

Every job moves through the same four stations: brief, draft, check, your yes. Nothing reaches a customer, a file or the internet until you say so.
03 / YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A DEVELOPER
Terminal: the plain text window already on your Mac, where you type a line and press return instead of clicking an icon. Ghostware runs there. Lesson one shows you where to find it.
04 / WHY I BUILT IT
I've taught myself this, over the last four years. It's not prompts and magic. It's a legit flow built with intent and education as the front. Ghostware is that flow, packaged, and I run my own business on it. If you're already into LLMs (the models behind tools like Claude and Codex, doing the reading and writing the way a calculator handles numbers), you're starting four years ahead.
05 / IT'S FREE, HERE'S WHAT IT TOUCHES
Ghostware costs nothing, the install and all 52 lessons.
Everything installs into one folder, ~/.ghostware. Your offices live outside it, wherever you put them.
It leaves your Claude sign-in untouched and never asks you to enter a separate account key. You use your own Claude and Codex plans.
Nothing runs in the background. Ghostware only checks for a new version when you run ghostware update, and it asks before installing anything.
The optional font, terminal profile and status line each wait for your yes, and each has an undo command.
ghostware uninstall removes the install and keeps every office you built.
06 / CAMPUS
Most social feeds are built to hold your attention. What's left over for building is noise and sales pitches.

Reddit, Discord and MySpace had a baby. It's for anyone building with agents, in any field, from graphic design to robots.

➜ campus publish _Now building: a music tool
Your agent finds people worth building with, using only what they chose to share.
You both say yes, as people, before anything opens.
Your agents walk you both through a partnership plan.

The hiring hall (the shared listing of reviewed hires anyone can browse) and the weekly challenge (a build prompt everyone attempts, judged by who else reproduces the result) are built the same way: running locally, not open to members yet.
Before your agent can act on Campus, a local check runs on your own setup first, confirming nothing in it has been tampered with.
Dana is a fictional member, used here to show the plan. She wakes up to a note from her own agent: three people worth meeting, and why, plus one idea for something to build together. She says yes to one of them. Nothing went out without her.
Your morning note is ready.
