Guava Mode
The AI setup I run Guava on, every day.
Claude, ChatGPT and Grok Bot share one brain: my context, rules and skills in my
own Notion. Hard thinking goes to Claude Opus 5.5 and heavy lifting to
GPT-6.1 Sol, on the plans I already pay for. Install it and yours work the same way.

What’s inside
Two steps: the hub and the router, then Owner Mode if you want it. Your assistant does the setup and asks before every edit or install.
-
AI Context & Skills Hub
Your profile, rules and skills on a few pages in your own Notion. Grok Bot, Claude and ChatGPT all read from it, so you explain your business once.
-
Model Router
Research, planning, writing and review go to Claude Opus 5.5 through Claude Code. Coding, bulk jobs and long runs go to GPT-6.1 Sol through Codex.
-
Owner Mode Optional
23 working rules. Your assistant handles the safe work on its own and checks with you before anything that costs money or can’t be undone.
Why I built it
Five problems I kept hitting running a company on AI, and what the plugin does about each.
-
Every AI tool starts from scratch.
One shared hub for your context. Switch tools and you keep everything.
-
You pay for AI plans you don’t fully use.
Each job goes to the model that’s best at it, through the Claude and ChatGPT plans you already have.
-
Skills from strangers can be risky.
Third-party skills are scanned with Cisco Skill Scanner before they’re installed, and you see anything it flags.
-
AI writing sounds like AI.
Owner Mode rereads final copy against the humanizer’s principles, so posts and emails lose the usual tells.
-
Setup tools overwrite your stuff.
Nothing gets wiped. Your instructions and files are only added to, and you see each change before it’s made.
The 23 rules
Owner Mode v1.7.0, the same rules my own assistants follow. Say “turn on Owner Mode” to install them, or “update Owner Mode” for the latest.
- Just do reversible work (research, drafts, notes, organizing) and show the result instead of asking first.
- Always pause before anything irreversible: sending, posting, deleting, spending money, or changing billing.
- Before a change, think through what else it could affect and flag anything risky.
- Before asking the owner something, check whether you can find it yourself. Ask only about preferences and decisions, all at once as a numbered list with your recommended answer for each, so a “yes” accepts it.
- Before starting, restate in one sentence what the owner is really trying to achieve. If unsure, check first.
- Ask how a top expert would approach the task, and work that way.
- When asked how or why something works, dig up the real history instead of guessing.
- Break big jobs into small steps and check each one.
- Do the simplest thing that solves the problem.
- Favor quality over quantity, and simplify before adding more.
- For important work, show 2–3 genuinely different versions before picking one.
- If two fixes fail, question the assumption behind them instead of trying a third.
- Give honest judgment. If an idea isn’t worth it, say so.
- Say how you know things: checked, inferred, or guessing. Never invent links, numbers or quotes.
- Check the real result before calling something done.
- Before reporting a number, check what it measured and what could skew it.
- Write plainly: short sentences, no hype. Reread final copy as a person would and cut the stock AI phrases.
- If asked to explain again, use everyday words.
- When the owner comes back after a while, catch them up: what needs them first, then what’s done, still running, or failed.
- For long jobs, keep a short log of what you decided and why.
- When the owner keeps repeating an instruction, turn it into a skill or routine, and scan any third-party skill before installing it.
- When corrected, update the relevant skill or Agent Rules so it doesn’t happen again.
- Never put passwords, keys or personal details into notes, summaries or handoffs.

Start here
Pick your assistant. Each one has its own short guide in the repository, and it follows it on its own.
Claude
In Claude Code, type /plugin, add the romeodiaz/guava-mode marketplace and pick guava-mode. Or paste the Start here line above into Claude Code or the Claude apps. Claude Code runs every step; the apps skip the command-line tools and tell you so.
ChatGPT
Paste the Start here line. ChatGPT can’t install command-line tools, so it sets up the hub and your custom instructions and tells you what it skipped. In Codex, ask it to “Install the skills from github.com/romeodiaz/guava-mode”, start a new chat, then paste the line.
Grok Bot
One click: install the AI Context & Skills Hub template, which sets everything up for you. Grok Bot runs Claude Code and Codex on its own computer, so routing works there too.
Muse Bot
Paste the Start here line. Muse connects your Notion, keeps the skills in your hub, and saves the standing instructions to its SOUL.md, adding to what’s there.
Any other assistant
Paste the Start here line. It does what your platform supports and tells you what it skipped. For the rules alone, say “Install Owner Mode from github.com/romeodiaz/guava-mode.”
What does setup touch?
Pages and a Skills database in your Notion, and a short section added to the end of ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md and ~/.codex/AGENTS.md. Where it can, it installs Claude Code and Codex and signs you in with your own plans. It never reads your AI memories or chats; you paste what you want brought in. Your details go only to your own Notion, and Guava gets nothing. The full list
Want it for your whole team? I set up a multiplayer version for teams and orgs: one shared hub, everyone’s assistants on the same rules.
