What is this?
LifeOS is a general-purpose AI harness for life and work: it captures who you are, what you care about, and where you're trying to go, then uses AI that knows you to move you from your Current State to your Ideal State.

The code is TypeScript and Bash, and it adds memory, custom skills and routing on top of the agent you already use.

A one-line Claude Code shortcut exists for macOS/Linux.

Claude Code is just the most-tested path since the author builds on it, and you also need bun.

LifeOS is infrastructure for how your assistant operates: memory, skills, routing, context, self-improvement. They're complementary, and many users integrate Fabric patterns into their LifeOS skills.

The full catalog is browsable on the project's site, ourlifeos.ai.
