  "summary": "GhostShell is a local AI coding assistant that aims to help developers understand code, debug errors, and work with terminal commands more safely. The tool combines a haunted terminal-inspired interface with local AI inference, offering three modes: Command Oracle, Error Exorcist, and Safer Fix. The project was built using React 18 and Vite for the frontend, Python and FastAPI for the backend, Ollama for local model inference, and Qwen2.5 3B for generating coding-assistant responses. The developer faced challenges handling incorrect model output, which they addressed through deterministic safety handling and regression tests. Currently, GhostShell runs locally, and a publicly hosted demo is not available yet.",
