+# Ghost Autocomplete Design
+
+## Overview
+
+The Ghost autocomplete system provides code suggestions using two visualization methods:
+
+1. **Inline Ghost Completions** - Native VS Code ghost text that completes the current line/code at cursor
+2. **SVG Decorations** - Visual overlays showing additions, deletions, and modifications elsewhere in the file
+
+## Decision Logic
+
+The system chooses between inline ghost completions and SVG decorations based on these rules:
+
+### When to Use Inline Ghost Completions
+
+Inline ghost completions are shown when ALL of the following conditions are met:
+
+1. **Distance Check**: Suggestion is within 5 lines of the cursor
+2. **Operation Type**:
+ - **Pure Additions** (`+`): Always use inline when near cursor
+ - **Modifications** (`/`): Use inline when there's a common prefix between old and new content
+ - **Deletions** (`-`): Never use inline (always use SVG)
+
+### When to Use SVG Decorations
+
+SVG decorations are shown when:
+
+- Suggestion is more than 5 lines away from cursor
+- Operation is a deletion (`-`)
+- Operation is a modification (`/`) with no common prefix
+- Any non-selected suggestion group in the file
+
+### Mutual Exclusivity
+
+**Important**: The system NEVER shows both inline ghost completion and SVG decoration for the same suggestion. When a suggestion qualifies for inline ghost completion, it is explicitly excluded from SVG decoration rendering.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Flow
+
+1. **Suggestion Generation** (`GhostProvider.provideCodeSuggestions()`)
+
+ - LLM generates suggestions as search/replace operations
+ - Operations are parsed and grouped by the `GhostStreamingParser`
+
+2. **Rendering Decision** (`GhostProvider.render()`)
+
+ - Determines if selected group should trigger inline completion
+ - Checks distance from cursor
+ - Checks operation type and common prefix
+ - If conditions met, triggers VS Code inline suggest command
+
+3. **Inline Completion Provider** (`GhostInlineCompletionProvider.provideInlineCompletionItems()`)
+
+ - VS Code calls this when inline suggestions are requested
+ - Returns completion item with:
+ - Text to insert (without common prefix for modifications)
+ - Range to insert at (cursor position or calculated position)
+
+4. **SVG Decoration Display** (`GhostProvider.displaySuggestions()`)
+ - Calculates if selected group uses inline completion
+ - Passes `selectedGroupUsesInlineCompletion` flag to decorations
+ - SVG decorations skip the selected group if flag is true
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Single-Line Completion (Modification with Common Prefix)
+
+**User types:**
+
+```javascript
+const y =
+```
+
+**LLM Response:**
+
+```xml
+
+ >>]]>
+
+
+```
+
+**Result:**
+
+- Operation type: Modification (`/`)
+- Common prefix: `const y =`
+- Distance from cursor: 0 lines
+- **Shows**: Inline ghost completion with ` divideNumbers(4, 2);`
+- **Does not show**: SVG decoration
+
+**Visual:**
+
+```javascript
+const y = divideNumbers(4, 2);
+ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (ghost text)
+```
+
+Additional examples:
+• const x = 1 → const x = 123: Shows ghost "23" after cursor
+• function foo → function fooBar: Shows ghost "Bar" after cursor
+
+### Example 2: Multi-Line Addition
+
+**User types:**
+
+```javascript
+// Add error handling
+```
+
+**LLM Response:**
+
+```xml
+
+ >>]]>
+
+
+```
+
+**Result:**
+
+- Operation type: Modification with empty deleted content (treated as addition)
+- Distance from cursor: 0-1 lines
+- **Shows**: Inline ghost completion with multi-line code
+- **Does not show**: SVG decoration
+
+**Visual:**
+
+```javascript
+// Add error handling
+try {
+ const result = processData();
+ return result;
+} catch (error) {
+ console.error('Error:', error);
+}
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (all ghost text)
+```
+
+### Example 3: Pure Addition After Comment
+
+**User types:**
+
+```javascript
+// implement function to add two numbers
+```
+
+**LLM Response:**
+
+```xml
+
+ >>]]>
+
+
+```
+
+**Result:**
+
+- Operation type: Modification with placeholder-only deleted content (treated as pure addition)
+- Distance from cursor: 1 line (next line after comment)
+- **Shows**: Inline ghost completion on next line with function implementation
+- **Does not show**: SVG decoration
+
+**Visual:**
+
+```javascript
+// implement function to add two numbers
+function addNumbers(a: number, b: number): number {
+ return a + b;
+}
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (all ghost text on next line)
+```
+
+### Example 4: Replacement Without Common Prefix
+
+**User has:**
+
+```javascript
+var x = 10
+```
+
+**LLM suggests:**
+
+```javascript
+const x = 10
+```
+
+**Result:**
+
+- Operation type: Modification (`/`)
+- Common prefix: `` (empty - no match)
+- **Shows**: SVG decoration with red strikethrough on `var` and green highlight on `const`
+- **Does not show**: Inline ghost completion
+
+### Example 5: Far Away Addition
+
+**User cursor at line 1, suggestion at line 50:**
+
+**Result:**
+
+- Distance from cursor: 49 lines (>5)
+- **Shows**: SVG decoration at line 50
+- **Does not show**: Inline ghost completion
+
+### Example 6: Multiple Suggestions in File
+
+**File has 3 suggestion groups:**
+
+1. Line 5 (selected, near cursor)
+2. Line 20 (not selected)
+3. Line 40 (not selected)
+
+**Result:**
+
+- **Line 5**: Shows inline ghost completion (selected + near cursor)
+- **Line 20**: Shows SVG decoration (not selected)
+- **Line 40**: Shows SVG decoration (not selected)
+
+## Current Implementation Status
+
+✅ **Fully Implemented and Working:**
+
+- Inline ghost completions for pure additions near cursor
+- Inline ghost completions for modifications with common prefix near cursor
+- Inline ghost completions for comment-driven completions (placeholder-only modifications)
+- SVG decorations for deletions
+- SVG decorations for far suggestions (>5 lines)
+- SVG decorations for modifications without common prefix
+- SVG decorations for non-selected groups
+- Mutual exclusivity between inline and SVG for same suggestion
+- TAB navigation through multiple suggestions (skips internal placeholder groups)
+- Universal language support (not limited to JavaScript/TypeScript)
+
+## Code Architecture
+
+### **Main Provider**: `src/services/ghost/GhostProvider.ts`
+
+- [`shouldUseInlineCompletion()`](src/services/ghost/GhostProvider.ts:516-610): Centralized decision logic
+- [`getEffectiveGroupForInline()`](src/services/ghost/GhostProvider.ts:488-534): Handles placeholder-only deletions
+- [`render()`](src/services/ghost/GhostProvider.ts:571-603): Triggers inline completion
+- [`displaySuggestions()`](src/services/ghost/GhostProvider.ts:640-703): Manages SVG decorations with proper exclusions
+- [`selectNextSuggestion()`](src/services/ghost/GhostProvider.ts:851-898) / [`selectPreviousSuggestion()`](src/services/ghost/GhostProvider.ts:900-947): TAB navigation with placeholder skipping
+
+### **Inline Completion**: `src/services/ghost/GhostInlineCompletionProvider.ts`
+
+- [`getEffectiveGroup()`](src/services/ghost/GhostInlineCompletionProvider.ts:37-63): Handles separated deletion+addition groups
+- [`shouldTreatAsAddition()`](src/services/ghost/GhostInlineCompletionProvider.ts:75-84): Universal detection logic
+- [`getCompletionText()`](src/services/ghost/GhostInlineCompletionProvider.ts:86-128): Calculates ghost text content
+- [`provideInlineCompletionItems()`](src/services/ghost/GhostInlineCompletionProvider.ts:158-216): Main entry point (simplified)
+
+### **SVG Decorations**: `src/services/ghost/GhostDecorations.ts`
+
+- [`displaySuggestions()`](src/services/ghost/GhostDecorations.ts:73-140): Shows decorations with group exclusions
+
+## Testing
+
+Comprehensive test coverage in [`GhostInlineCompletionProvider.spec.ts`](src/services/ghost/__tests__/GhostInlineCompletionProvider.spec.ts):
+
+- Comment-driven completions
+- Modifications with/without common prefix
+- Distance-based decisions
+- Multiple suggestion scenarios
+- All edge cases
+
+**All tests pass**: 28/28 across ghost system
