## Overview
In 2026, AI-generated code carries an identifiable signature. Whether it's academic integrity systems, hiring pipelines, or code review tools, pattern-based detection is increasingly used to flag work that doesn't "look human."
**PhantomDev** addresses this directly. It's not about deception-it's about **stylometric sovereignty**. Developers should be able to use high-productivity AI tooling without sacrificing ownership of their own coding identity.
PhantomDev learns your personal style from your repository history and applies it back to AI-assisted output-transforming variable names, comment phrasing, line cadence, and commit message structure to match how *you* actually write code.
---
## Features
### AI Detection
- Local inference using RoBERTa-based models (no API required)
- Cloud fallback via OpenRouter and Anthropic
- Pattern detection for common AI tells: watermarks, uniform commenting, emoji overuse
- Multi-language support: Rust, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, C++
### Code Humanization
- Repository-aware style learning from your commit history
- Variable and function renaming to match personal conventions
- Targeted comment injection and removal
- Entropy injection for natural stylistic variation
### Temporal Obfuscation (Jitter Engine)
- Delayed staging buffer to simulate organic development pace
- Configurable timing windows (min/max delay in seconds)
- Designed to avoid commit-frequency fingerprinting
### Stealth Scoring
- Real-time per-file stealth score
- Pattern-based breakdown of detected AI signatures
- Threshold-configurable alerting
### TUI Dashboard
- Terminal UI for live stealth score monitoring
- Detection heatmap per file
- Style profile visualization
### Undercover Mode
- Commit message transformation via adversarial stylometry
- Code comment rewriting with human-idiomatic phrasing
- Variable name substitution based on personal naming patterns
### Pre-Commit Integration
- Git hook-based detection before every commit
- Auto-fix mode for common AI patterns
- Cross-platform, zero-dependency hook scripts

## Installation
### Recommended (Easy Install)
Clone the repository and run the built-in installer:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/John-Varghese-EH/PhantomDev.git
cd PhantomDev
cargo run -- easy-install
```
To also install IDE-specific skill files:
```bash
cargo run -- easy-install --ide claude
cargo run -- easy-install --ide cursor
cargo run -- easy-install --ide windsurf
cargo run -- easy-install --ide antigravity
```
### From Source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/John-Varghese-EH/PhantomDev.git
cd PhantomDev
cargo build --release
cargo install --path crates/cli
```
### One-Click Installer
```bash
---
## Quick Start
### Step 1: Install
```bash
### Step 2: Go to your project
```bash
cd your-project
```
### Step 3: Check your code
```bash
phantomdev
```
This will show your stealth score and suggest what to do next.
### Step 4: Fix AI patterns
```bash
phantomdev fix
```
That's it! Your code is now humanized.
---
## Usage
PhantomDev is designed to be simple. Just run `phantomdev` and it will guide you.
### Basic Commands
```bash
phantomdev # Check status and get suggestions
phantomdev fix # Auto-fix AI patterns in staged files
phantomdev scan # See what's detected
phantomdev score # Check your stealth score
phantomdev dashboard # Launch visual dashboard
phantomdev config # View or change settings
phantomdev install # Install IDE integration
```
### Typical Workflow
1. **Stage your files**
```bash
git add your-files
```
2. **Check what's detected**
```bash
phantomdev scan
```
3. **Fix AI patterns**
```bash
phantomdev fix
```
4. **Commit**
```bash
git commit -m "your message"
```
### Advanced Options
```bash
# Fix specific files
phantomdev fix --files src/main.rs
# See what would change without applying
phantomdev fix --dry-run
# Detailed score breakdown
phantomdev score --detailed
# Reset settings to defaults
phantomdev config --reset
# Install IDE integration
phantomdev install --ide claude
phantomdev install --ide all
```
pre-commit install
pre-commit run --all-files
```
---
## Configuration
PhantomDev reads from `.phantomdev/config.toml`:
```toml
[detection]
threshold = 0.15 # AI probability threshold (0.0 - 1.0)
use_local = true # Prioritize local models
use_cloud_fallback = true # Fall back to cloud API if local score is uncertain
[humanization]
auto_humanize = false # Run humanization automatically on commit
entropy_level = 0.5 # Transformation intensity (0.0 - 1.0)
[jitter]
enabled = false # Enable temporal obfuscation
min_delay_secs = 60
max_delay_secs = 300
[api]
openrouter_key = "" # Optional: OpenRouter API key
anthropic_key = "" # Optional: Anthropic API key
base_url = "" # Optional: Custom API base URL
```

---
## Security
PhantomDev is built with a local-first design:
- All detection runs locally by default; cloud APIs are strictly opt-in
- No telemetry or usage data is collected
- Fully open-source; all code is auditable
- Cloud fallback can be disabled entirely via configuration
