Why One Pass Is Never Enough
Most automated code analysis tools run one check. Flag a linting error. Catch a missing test. Mark a security pattern. One pass, one lens, move on.
One pass misses the compounding problems. The file that looks clean in isolation but breaks three other files when changed. The API contract that two modules interpret differently. The finding that has no path to resolution because nobody generated the prompt to fix it.
Ghost Architect™ runs three passes on every commit. Not sequentially as an afterthought -- as a designed system where each pass informs the next.
Leg 1 -- Blast Radius™
Blast Radius™ maps the full impact of every changed file. When a developer pushes a commit, Ghost Architect™ Local analyzes which files were touched and traces every dependency -- direct imports, indirect references, and cascade effects across the codebase.
The result is a finding for every file at risk. Not just the file that changed. Every file that depends on it, imports from it, or shares a contract with it.
src/reports.js. Blast Radius finds that src/pdf-generator.js, src/lib/transport-meta.js, and 12 other files all depend on it. Each gets a finding. Each gets a remediation prompt.
Blast Radius answers the question every architect asks before approving a change -- what else breaks?
Leg 2 -- Conflict Detection™
Conflict Detection finds where two sides of the codebase expect different things from each other. API contracts that don't match. Session objects written one way and read another. Database schemas that disagree across modules.
These are the bugs that don't show up in unit tests because each unit looks correct in isolation. They surface in production under load, during upgrades, or when two developers' changes land in the same deploy.
passResults. Side B reads it looking for pendingPassResults. Both modules pass their tests. In production they fail silently -- until they don't.
Conflict Detection catches these before they become 2am incidents.
Leg 3 -- Ghost Brief™
Finding a problem is half the work. Ghost Brief™ completes it.
For every finding that Blast Radius and Conflict Detection surface, Ghost Brief™ generates a developer-ready remediation prompt. Not a generic suggestion. A specific, scoped prompt that names the exact files, describes the exact problem, and gives the developer exactly what to paste into Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or any AI coding tool to fix it.
src/modes/watcher-commit.js, address the following issue: Pre-Change Snapshot. CONSTRAINTS: Only modify the files listed. Do not touch vendor/**. Run existing tests after each change to confirm no regressions. CONFIDENCE: 85%
Ghost Brief™ turns findings into action. Without it, a developer reads a finding and has to figure out how to fix it. With it, they paste a prompt and the AI does the work.
The Ghost Triple Crown™ in Action
In Ghost Architect™ Local, all three legs run on every commit, in one of three ways: a pre-push hook on the developer's machine, Ghost Watcher™ Local on a webhook from your own git server, or your own CI runner. How each one is set up.
The pre-push hook runs before the push leaves the developer's machine. Or your git server (GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab self-managed, Bitbucket Server, Gitea or Forgejo) sends a webhook to Ghost Watcher™ Local on the hub. Or your own CI runner starts the scan.
Ghost maps every file at risk from the changed files. Findings generated per impacted file.
Ghost scans for contract mismatches, schema disagreements, and API conflicts across the full codebase.
For every finding from both passes, Ghost Brief™ writes a developer-ready remediation prompt.
On the pre-push hook, CRITICAL or HIGH findings are listed and the developer chooses whether to push anyway. Hub scans land with every other report, and on GitHub Enterprise Server the hub can post the commit's risk score as a comment on the commit.
Everything runs on your hardware, against your own model. Nothing goes to a cloud-hosted runner.
One Finding Pays for a Year of Ghost
Ghost Architect™ Local is one monthly licence per team size, with no per-token bill. The Ghost Triple Crown™ runs on every commit for every developer on the team.
One critical finding caught before a bad deploy protects 40 to 100 hours of unbillable rework at a blended agency rate of $150 to $200 per hour. That is $6,000 to $20,000 protected on a single incident. The licence pays for itself on the first finding it catches.
The Ghost Triple Crown™ is not a safety net you deploy after something breaks. It is the analysis that runs before anything ships -- on every commit, automatically, without anyone having to remember to run it.
Run the Ghost Triple Crown™ on your next commit.
Ghost Open™ is free for one person, and its Commit Forecast™ checks your changes before you push. For every commit, on your own hardware, use Ghost Architect™ Local.
