Your AI is brilliant at executing.
It just doesn't know what you actually want.
Tell your AI what, not how.
The AI harness that knows who you are and how you like things done.
Paste the prompt into your AI engine — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex — and it installs LifeOS for you.
curl -fsSL https://ourlifeos.ai/install.sh | bash01 — The gap
You are here. You want to be there.
LifeOS writes both states down, then climbs the distance one verified step at a time.
The AI harness that knows who you are and how you like things done.
Your goals, your context, your standards, carried into every task you hand it.
Your AI can do almost anything.
It just needs to know what you want. LifeOS tells it, every time.
Write down what done looks like.
Then let the system climb to it, one verified step at a time.
Your goals, in the room every time you ask.
TELOS captures them once. Every task after that carries them.
Evidence, or it did not happen.
Every criterion closes on proof from a tool. "Should work" is not a state.
Current state. Ideal state. The gap, closing daily.
That is the loop. It runs on code, on writing, on your health, on your life.
02 — The Algorithm
One loop. Every task.
Shipping code, writing an essay, fixing your sleep: the same four moves, in the same order, with the same demand for proof. LifeOS runs the loop so you can spend your attention on where you want to go.
- 01 ARTICULATE
Write down what done means. Criteria you can check, not vibes.
- 02 CLIMB
Take the next step toward it. Code, words, a decision, a habit.
- 03 VERIFY
Prove the step landed with evidence from a tool. No evidence, no step.
- 04 LEARN
Fold what changed back into the system, so the next climb starts higher.
LifeOS 7.x
From prompt engineering to intent engineering.
What makes LifeOS work.
The unique features are the parts you won't find anywhere else. Click any card to read the full page.
Current → Ideal State
Name where you are, name where you want to be, then close the gap with steps you can check.
Intent Engineering
Convey what you ultimately want to your AI — the WHAT layer of prompting, productized.
General Hill Climbing
Every goal becomes a hill to climb, and the system keeps picking the next move that closes the gap to your ideal state.
Euphoric Surprise
The metric every response aims for: the 9 or 10, the 'OMG, this is brilliant' moment.
TELOS
Your mission, goals, beliefs, and challenges. LifeOS interviews you to capture them, then reasons against them on every task.
The Algorithm
The unified thinking system that routes each ask to the right intelligence, turns it into a testable spec, and climbs toward it.
Workflows
Work with known steps, written once as a typed graph and run on your machine or in the cloud.
Bunker
The universal application harness — every app gets security, uptime, testing, and deployment from one shared chassis.
Helm
The LifeOS terminal: kitty for the window, herdr for your agent sessions. One install.
ISA System
One document that captures what "done" looks like — the testable spec the Algorithm climbs toward.
Cortex
The memory system: everything LifeOS knows, compounding across sessions.
Synapse
The input router: catch anything, and it grades, routes, and keeps it forever.
Atlas
A live graph of everything you own — ask what you have, what a key unlocks, and what a single compromise would reach.
Vigil
The always-on watch: one log every part of the system writes to, and a reader that decides whether to tell you.
Ledger
Every change versioned, recorded, and verified — one place answers what changed, when, and at what version.
The Skill System
A growing library of self-activating, composable units of expertise.
The Hook System
Guardrails that are code, not good intentions — enforced at fixed points.
Pulse
The Life Dashboard — the live surface where you watch the system run.
Observability
The agents dashboard — every run and every agent working, live.
Voice
Spoken notifications — the system talks to you, so you stay in flow.
Learning
Every run reflects on itself and feeds what it learned back into the system.
Assay
The eval system: every output tested against a standard, so improvement is provable.
Glance
The judgment system: every fuzzy call the code makes, asked as one small typed question.
Security
Privacy and safety enforced by deterministic gates, not assumed.
Custom Spinner Verbs
Your own animated working-verb and tips in the statusline.
Custom Tooltips
The dashboard explains itself on hover instead of sending you to a manual.
