Replit Ghostwriter

Overview Ghostwriter is the AI suite integrated directly into the Replit IDE. It is analogous to GitHub Copilot but has "full awareness" of the Replit environment (files, dependencies, and even the running REPL).

Features

1. Complete Code As you type, Ghostwriter suggests the next few lines. It is low-latency and context-aware.

2. Generate Code "Write a Flask server that serves a hello world page." Ghostwriter writes the file and can configure the .replit run button.

3. Transform / Refactor Select a block of code and ask:

• "Make this faster"
• "Translate to JavaScript"
• "Add error handling"

4. Explain Highlight code -> "What does this do?" Useful for learning or debugging legacy code.

Debugging When your code crashes, Ghostwriter creates a "Debug with AI" button in the console. It analyzes the stack trace and suggests a fix in one click.

Pricing

• Core: Included in the Replit Core subscription ($10-$20/mo).
• Free: Limited access for free users.

Ghostwriter's "special sauce" is that it doesn't just see text files; it sees the runtime state, making it surprisingly effective at fixing runtime errors.
