create-life-os

Create a second brain powered by Claude Code.

Quick Start

npx create-life-os
cd life-os
claude
> /setup

The setup skill walks you through everything: who you are, what matters to you, connecting your data sources, and your first journal entry. Takes about 10 minutes.

What You Get

| Skill | What it does | |-------|-------------| | /setup | First-time setup. Configures your Life OS from scratch. | | /start | Start automation loops for morning, digest, and sync. Run once per session. | | /journal | Append a timestamped entry to today's journal. | | /morning | Morning briefing. Schedule, weather, what needs your attention. | | /digest | End-of-day recap. What happened, what shipped, what's still open. | | /goals | Set structured goals tied to your life pillars. | | /sync | Pull from all connected sources and update your files. |

Data Sources

Life OS pulls from your existing tools — no new accounts needed (except Beeper for messaging):

| Source | How | What it provides | |--------|-----|------------------| | Gmail | Claude Connection | Email threads, sent replies for cross-referencing | | Google Calendar | Claude Connection | Today's schedule, meeting context | | iMessage | Beeper | Text messages, group chats | | WhatsApp | Beeper | WhatsApp conversations | | Slack | Beeper | Slack messages and channels | | Weather | Open-Meteo (free) | Daily forecast, no API key needed | | Git | Local | What you shipped today |

All sources are optional. Skills degrade gracefully — a morning briefing with just weather and yesterday's digest is still useful.

How It Works

Everything is plain markdown files in a git repo:

life-os/
├── journal/entries/  — daily freeform journal entries
├── digests/          — end-of-day structured recaps
├── people/           — notes on people in your life
├── goals/            — goal tracking and progress
├── reminders/        — simple checklist of things to remember
├── identity/         — living profile, updated over time
├── work/             — work-related notes
├── health/           — health metrics
├── meetings/         — meeting notes
└── CLAUDE.md         — your system prompt

CLAUDE.md is the brain. It tells Claude who you are, how to talk to you, and how your files are organized. The /setup skill generates it from a conversation with you.

Philosophy

• Simple over neat. Don't over-organize.
• Start small. Add complexity when you feel the need, not before.
• Your data is yours. Plain text, version controlled, portable.
• The system grows with you. Start with journaling and daily rhythms. Add the rest when it feels right.

Requirements

• Claude Code installed
• Node.js 18+
• Git
