LifeOS
by danielmiessler
LifeOS is a framework that sits on top of an AI coding assistant such as Claude Code. It stores your goals, context and memory, and adds a set of ready-made skills so the AI can help with work and personal projects.

What you can do with it
- Give your AI assistant lasting memory of your goals, contacts and preferences
- Use 97 ready-made skills for research, writing, security, art and publishing
- Trigger workflows automatically by asking in plain language, such as 'research this'
Make money with it
A freelancer could use the research, writing and publishing skills to deliver content or research work to clients faster.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Keep a persistent AI assistant that remembers client details, goals and preferences, so you spend less time re-explaining context
- Run research, writing and publishing workflows through reusable skills instead of paying for several separate tools
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
You ask your AI coding assistant to read the install page, or run a one-line curl script on macOS or Linux; it needs Bun and a capable AI coding tool such as Claude Code.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Needs a separate AI coding tool, usually a paid Claude Code subscription or API access
- Installer changes files in your ~/.claude folder, so back up first
- Most tested on Claude Code only; local model support is still on the roadmap
- Installing via a piped curl script requires trusting the source
