Life System
Plain-text life operating system powered by Claude Code. Daily journaling, 10-year vision planning, morning/evening routines, structured decision records, and goal accountability. Inspired by Carmack's .plan files and Franklin's systematic self-improvement.

How to install
Open any AI agent and paste this:
Install the Life System persona from https://github.com/davidhariri/life-system -- clone the repo, read the setup instructions, ask me for my personal details, replace all template variables, copy the files to the right config locations, and walk me through connecting any integrations it needs.
Your AI handles the rest: downloading files, personalizing the config, and walking you through integrations.

~Claude reads your plan, goals, and values before every session. Surfaces drift between daily actions, annual goals, and 10-year vision.
~Franklin's method built into the templates. Morning question: 'What good shall I do this day?' Evening reflection closes the loop.
~Structured decision records capture reasoning at the moment of choice. Six months later you can trace exactly why you chose path A over path B.
~Plain markdown files are the source of truth. Claude is the accountability partner who never forgets what you wrote.
~Journal entries auto-created with timestamps during sessions. Morning routine, evening review, and quick inbox capture all have dedicated workflows.
~231 stars. Built by an operator, not an AI researcher. The system works because it's simple enough to actually use every day.
