LifeOS

Why pick it

Every other plugin here makes your agent better at coding. LifeOS makes your agent better at being yours — it captures who you are, what you care about, and where you're trying to go, then uses that context for everything: building apps, starting a business, creative projects, basically anything.

Your harness gives you raw capability. LifeOS is the layer on top that makes it your car — it knows your goals, your people, your preferences, and keeps working toward them without re-explaining every session.

What you get

• Persistent memory — your agent remembers past sessions, decisions, and learnings.
• Custom skills — specialized capabilities for the things you do most.
• Your context — goals, contacts, preferences, all available without re-explaining.
• Intelligent routing — say "research this" and the right workflow triggers automatically.
• Self-improvement — the system modifies itself based on what it learns.

Why it over the others

vs ECC — ECC is an engineering operating system (skills, hooks, memory for code work). LifeOS is a life operating system — it extends beyond code into goals, relationships, and personal context. ECC makes your agent a better engineer; LifeOS makes it a better assistant for everything.

vs Compound Engineering — CE is a coding workflow loop. LifeOS is the context layer underneath any workflow — coding or not. You can run CE's loop inside a LifeOS-equipped agent.

vs fabric — fabric (also by Daniel Miessler) is a collection of AI prompts for specific tasks. LifeOS is infrastructure for how your agent operates — memory, skills, routing, self-improvement. Complementary: many LifeOS users integrate fabric patterns into their skills.

Works with

Harness-agnostic by design — built on universal primitives (hooks, skills, context files, agentic routing). Most-tested on Claude Code; ports to any capable agent. TypeScript + Bash.
