Hermes runs natively on Windows (uv-based clone at %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes), so ghost can too.

The blocker I flagged -- the bash fork relocates the engine venv via path-rewriting, which can't work on Windows (Scripts\*.exe launchers bake the interpreter path into the binary) -- is solved by having the Windows fork recreate the venv with uv (uv venv + uv sync), exactly how Hermes builds it on Windows.

  • install.ps1 mirrors install.sh: self-bootstrap clone, uv, install Hermes if missing, fork+debrand, isolated privacy venv (uv sync of pyproject), Task Scheduler services for the scrubber + og-veil, ghost/ghost-login/ghost-update.cmd shims, PATH.
  • scripts/fork-engine.ps1: copy engine + recreate venv with uv + debrand.py + skills isolation + verify.
  • README: Windows one-liner + badge.

⚠️Authored without a Windows machine. Both .ps1 files are PowerShell-parse-checked (no syntax errors), but the end-to-end install is unverified on real Windows -- it needs a Windows box to validate and almost certainly some debugging (venv recreate, Task Scheduler, paths). The macOS/Linux install.sh is untouched.

Hermes runs natively on Windows (uv-based clone at %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes), so ghost can too.
The blocker I flagged -- the bash fork relocates the engine venv via path-rewriting, which can't work on Windows (Scripts\*.exe launchers bake the interpreter path into the binary) -- is solved by having the Windows fork recreate the venv with uv (uv venv + uv sync), exactly how Hermes builds it on Windows.
  • install.ps1 mirrors install.sh: self-bootstrap clone, uv, install Hermes if missing, fork+debrand, isolated privacy venv (uv sync of pyproject), Task Scheduler services for the scrubber + og-veil, ghost/ghost-login/ghost-update.cmd shims, PATH.
  • scripts/fork-engine.ps1: copy engine + recreate venv with uv + debrand.py + skills isolation + verify.
  • README: Windows one-liner + badge.
⚠️Authored without a Windows machine. Both .ps1 files are PowerShell-parse-checked (no syntax errors), but the end-to-end install is unverified on real Windows -- it needs a Windows box to validate and almost certainly some debugging (venv recreate, Task Scheduler, paths). The macOS/Linux install.sh is untouched.

Hermes runs natively on Windows (uv-based git clone at %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes),
so ghost can too. The one blocker -- the bash fork relocates the engine venv by
rewriting paths, which can't work on Windows (Scripts\*.exe launchers bake the
interpreter path into the binary) -- is solved by having the Windows fork
RECREATE the venv with uv instead (uv venv + uv sync), the same way Hermes
builds it.
- install.ps1: PowerShell installer mirroring install.sh (self-bootstrap clone,
uv, install Hermes if missing, fork+debrand, isolated privacy venv via uv sync,
Task Scheduler services for scrubber + og-veil, ghost/.cmd command shims, PATH).
- scripts/fork-engine.ps1: copy engine + recreate venv with uv + debrand.py +
skills isolation + verify.
- README: Windows PowerShell one-liner + platform badge.
NOTE: authored without a Windows machine -- both .ps1 files are PowerShell-parse-
checked but the install flow is UNVERIFIED on real Windows. Needs a Windows box
to validate and debug. macOS/Linux install.sh is untouched.
