Ghostex is a developer workspace for running and supervising multiple AI coding agents, with separate chats, command-line views, and persistent sessions in a Rust-based desktop shell. Developers use it to switch between agents, review work, preview pages, and continue sessions from mobile devices.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00135 | $0.00790 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00054 | $0.00316 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00027 | $0.00158 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00079 |
Grade A, and why
ghostex-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ghostex-cli
Use Ghostex's CLI help as the source of truth instead of relying on remembered command names or flags.
Core Workflow
-
Read the current command catalog:
ghostex --help -
Read focused help when the catalog points to it:
ghostex automations --help ghostex quick-actions --help ghostex browser --help ghostex server --help -
Inspect current state before choosing a target. Prefer JSON where offered:
ghostex sessions --json ghostex state -
Act on an exact project, session, group, automation, or run id. Prefer ids from JSON output over titles, aliases, or whichever project is focused.
-
Re-read the relevant state or use the command's assertion/wait operation to verify the requested result.
Routing
Everyday Ghostex work — sessions, orchestration, automations, quick actions, chat queues, prompt history, server, diagnostics — is covered by the CLI help above. Route to a specialized skill only when its domain applies:
- Use
$ghostex-embedded-browser-usefor browser panes inside Ghostex. - Use
$ghostex-browser-usefor supported external browser page content. - Use
$ghostex-computer-usefor native desktop application control. - Use
$ghostex-spaceoto drive Mac apps on SpaceO's hidden virtual displays, out of the user's way. - Use
$ghostex-manage-beadsfor Project Board bead workflows through the machine-installedbdCLI. - Use
$ghostex-agentswhen launching, messaging, reading, and verifying other agents (start fromghostex agents --help), when reading or searching another session's thread, and when a session can't start or is stuck (ghostex accounts,ghostex agents switch-account,ghostex agents reload; releases newer than 10.23.0, so 10.24.0 or later). - Use
$ghostex-auto-rename-sessionwhen asked to generate a session title. - Use
$ghostex-move-codex-sessionto fork a Codex session into another folder. - Use
$ghostex-helpto explain how a Ghostex feature works or to change an app setting for the user.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ghostex-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository maddada/Ghostex (1,420 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 135 tokens to every session and 790 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
