## What it is
LifeOS is an open-source, AI-powered 'life operating system' that captures your goals, context, and ideal state, then uses that personal context to steer AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) on every task. It is a CLI-first, TypeScript-based intent engineering platform with components for memory, agents, dashboards, and a kitty-based terminal setup called Helm.

## Use cases
- manage my life goals with AI assistance
- give my AI coding assistant personal context about me
- turn vague goals into actionable step-by-step plans
- set up a personalized AI harness for work and life
- track progress from my current state to my ideal state
- organize projects, tasks, and knowledge in one AI-driven system
- customize a kitty terminal with session dashboards

## When to choose
- you want a personal-context layer that makes AI assistants act on your goals and values
- you live in the terminal and use Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI coding tools daily
- you want a self-hosted, open-source productivity system with deep AI integration
- you like opinionated frameworks that structure how you plan and execute work

## When to avoid
- you want a simple to-do app without AI or a steep setup process
- you are uncomfortable sharing personal context with LLM-based tools
- you need a polished GUI-first product rather than a CLI/terminal-centric workflow
- you prefer lightweight tools without a large, opinionated system to maintain
