What is it?

LifeOS is a general-purpose AI harness that sits on top of a coding agent such as Claude Code. It stores a profile of who you are, what you care about, and where you want to go, then uses that context across tasks, from building software and starting a business to creative projects.

The system is organized around a Current State to Ideal State loop. It includes persistent memory (Cortex) for past sessions and learnings, a skill library that the system routes requests to, hooks, a background daemon called Pulse that runs voice, scheduled jobs and a local dashboard, and an installer that an AI agent can run for you. The project is written in TypeScript and Bash and requires Bun.

The author builds and tests it primarily on Claude Code. The project states that its core ideas are intended to port to other capable agents, and a roadmap item covers local model support through Ollama and llama.cpp.

Key features

  • 01Persistent memory of past sessions, decisions and learnings.
  • 02Skill library with automatic routing of requests to the matching workflow.
  • 03Personal context files covering goals, contacts and preferences.
  • 04Background daemon for voice, scheduled jobs and a local dashboard.
  • 05Installation driven by an AI agent prompt or a shell script.

Use cases

  • Running a personal AI assistant that keeps track of your goals across projects.
  • Coordinating research, writing and planning tasks with a shared memory of your context.
  • Building a self-customized workflow on top of Claude Code.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Paste the install prompt into your AI coding harness (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.)

  2. 2

    Or, on macOS/Linux with Claude Code, run the official one-line install script from the README

Things to know

  • Requires a capable AI coding harness and bun to install and run.
  • Claude Code is the most-tested path; other harnesses are less proven.
  • Local model support and several notification and remote-access features are still roadmap items.
