LifeOS

by danielmiessler18.6kTypeScriptUpdated 2026-08-14

⛰️ The Life Operating System — an intent engineering platform that moves you from your current state to your ideal state, in life and work.

Claude CodeCursorCodex

LifeOS is an AI-powered life operating system that transforms AI coding harnesses like Claude Code into personalized Digital Assistants with persistent context and memory. It captures your goals, relationships, and preferences, then uses a sophisticated Algorithm to move you from your current state to your ideal state across all life and work domains. The system installs as a self-contained skill that bundles memory systems (Cortex), intelligent routing (Synapse), a knowledge graph (Atlas), and 49+ specialized skills covering research, security, writing, and creative work. It runs on any capable AI harness with TypeScript/Bun support, providing session-persistent memory, custom workflows, and self-improvement capabilities that evolve based on what the assistant learns.

Key Features

Persistent memory system (Cortex) that remembers decisions, learnings, and context across sessions
The Algorithm: seven-phase problem-solving loop (OBSERVE → THINK → PLAN → BUILD → EXECUTE → VERIFY → LEARN) with adaptive complexity tiers
ISA System (Ideal State Artifact) for tracking progress from current to ideal state across twelve life dimensions
Intelligent routing layer (Synapse) that automatically triggers appropriate workflows based on natural language requests
49+ bundled skills for research, security, writing, art, and domain-specific tasks organized in twelve categories
Pulse daemon providing unified voice interface, Life Dashboard, observability, and optional messaging bridges
Hermes sidecar allowing terminal-based agent interaction with the same capabilities as the primary interface
Hook system for customizing behavior at key lifecycle events, with deterministic release-security gates

Use Cases

  • 01Building applications with an AI assistant that remembers your coding patterns, project goals, and technical preferences
  • 02Managing complex projects with persistent context about stakeholders, decisions, and evolving requirements
  • 03Research workflows where the assistant accumulates domain knowledge in a structured graph over time
  • 04Creative projects that benefit from a DA that understands your style, past work, and artistic direction
  • 05Personal productivity with goal tracking, relationship management, and progress measurement toward life objectives
  • 06Security audits and code reviews leveraging specialized skills with memory of your infrastructure and security posture

LifeOS — FAQ

What is LifeOS and how does it differ from using Claude Code or Cursor directly?+

LifeOS is an infrastructure layer that transforms AI harnesses into personalized Digital Assistants with persistent memory, custom skills, and goal tracking. While harnesses provide raw AI capability, LifeOS adds context retention across sessions, specialized workflows, intelligent routing, and a system that knows your goals and preferences without re-explaining them each time.

How do I install LifeOS?+

Installation is AI-driven: paste the prompt 'Read https://ourlifeos.ai/install and install LifeOS for me' into Claude Code, Cursor, or another capable AI coding harness, and the AI performs the setup. Alternatively, run 'curl -fsSL https://ourlifeos.ai/install.sh | bash' for a one-line terminal install on macOS/Linux.

Which AI clients and harnesses work with LifeOS?+

LifeOS is harness-agnostic by design and runs on any high-end AI coding environment that supports TypeScript and Bun. It's most extensively tested on Claude Code, but the universal primitives (hooks, skills, context files) work with Cursor, Codex, and other capable agent systems.

What are the prerequisites and is LifeOS free?+

You need a capable AI coding harness (Claude Code recommended) and Bun runtime installed. LifeOS itself is completely free and open-source under the MIT license with no API keys required, though your underlying AI harness may have its own subscription or API costs.

How is LifeOS different from Fabric?+

Fabric is a collection of AI prompts (patterns) for specific tasks focused on what to ask AI. LifeOS is infrastructure for how your Digital Assistant operates—providing memory, skills, routing, context persistence, and self-improvement. They're complementary and many users integrate Fabric patterns into LifeOS skills.

What happens if I break something during installation or upgrades?+

Recovery is straightforward: user customizations in USER/ are never touched, settings merge rather than overwrite, and everything is git-backed for rollback. Your Digital Assistant can help repair issues since it helped build the system. The installer detects existing installations and merges intelligently, and you can always re-run it or restore from the recommended backup created before upgrades.

How do I install LifeOS?+

Open the source repository on GitHub and follow its README. LifeOS is a agent — MCP Agents Market links you directly to the official repo.

Is LifeOS free?+

LifeOS is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. Check the repository for its license and any usage requirements.
