AI agents
Customize with any AI agent
Wire ships with the files AI coding agents look for — AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md and GEMINI.md — and a docs folder describing how the theme is built.
1Open the theme folder in your agent
Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI or any tool that reads AGENTS.md.
2Describe the change
The agent finds the rules and recipes on its own.
3It rebuilds and checks the theme
npm run verify lints, builds and runs Ghost’s gscan; npm run package produces a fresh zip to upload. Nothing private is needed for either.

Other themes
Every theme is a one-off design, not a preset of the same layout.
Taking more than one?
Wire on its own is $89. The bundle is every theme we have released — 3 more besides this one — and every theme we release from here on, for $249.
Before you buy
The questions that usually come up at this point. Anything else, just ask — pre-sale questions are welcome.
What do I get when I purchase a theme?
When you purchase a theme, you receive the complete theme package (ZIP file) ready to upload to Ghost, the routes.yaml file for custom routing configuration, access to comprehensive documentation, free lifetime updates to the theme, and 6 months of customer support.

How many websites can I use the theme on?
Each purchase includes a Single Site License, allowing you to use the theme on one Ghost installation. If you need to use the theme on multiple websites, you'll need to purchase additional licenses. See our Terms of Service for details.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Every theme comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee — email us within 14 days of your purchase and we will refund it in full, no justification needed. You can still take a look first: try the live demos and the documentation, or ask us anything before buying. See our full Refund Policy for details.
Do I get free updates?
Yes! Your purchase includes lifetime free updates. Whenever we release a new version of the theme with improvements or bug fixes, you can download it at no additional cost.
What version of Ghost do your themes support?
Our themes are designed for Ghost 5.x and later versions. We regularly update our themes to ensure compatibility with the latest Ghost releases.
Can I customize a theme with an AI coding agent?
Yes, for themes marked AI-ready. They ship with AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md and GEMINI.md plus a docs folder, so Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Zed and any other tool that reads AGENTS.md can find the theme's conventions and recipes, make the change you describe, then rebuild and check the theme with npm run verify and pack a fresh zip with npm run package. Each AI-ready theme has a "Customizing with AI Agents" guide in its documentation.
Can I use the theme for a client project?
Yes! You can use our themes for client projects. However, each client website requires its own license. The client should purchase the license directly, or you can purchase it on their behalf.
