LifeOS is an AI-assisted personal operating system that records a person’s goals, values, context, and current situation to help move them toward a desired future state. It supports work such as building applications, starting businesses, and creative projects. Its catalogue entries extend the system through skills, hooks, agents, and commands.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00126 | $0.01115 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00050 | $0.00446 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00223 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00112 |
Grade A, and why
Gifts scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Gifts
Finds gifts that feel chosen: uncommon, well made, and current in what the recipient loves right now, for people of any age. Recipients live in a registry; every run is saved so later runs never repeat an idea.
Ideal State
- Every list is for a registered recipient at their age as of today, built from their registry entry and history, with nothing about the person guessed.
- Every idea is uncommon, current in what the recipient loves, and buyable today from a link checked in the same run, or marked
unverified. - Each run is saved to the recipient's history, so a later run never repeats an idea.
Intent Routing
| Intent | Trigger | File |
|---|---|---|
| FindGifts | "gift ideas for ", "run gifts for ", "what should I get ", "gifts for " (runs every recipient in the named group) | Intents/FindGifts.md |
| AddRecipient | "add a gift recipient", "new gift person", " is into X now", "update 's interests" | Intents/AddRecipient.md |
| File | Read when |
|---|---|
Setup.md |
the registry is missing, first-time setup, the registry field list, or proving the skill works |
Tools/CheckHistory.help.md |
checking a saved run file: idea count, link marks, repeats against earlier runs |
Data & Config
First-time setup, accounts and a proof command: Setup.md. The registry is required: if Recipients.md is missing, stop and say so, pointing the user at Setup.md. Never guess recipients, ages or interests.
- Recipient registry:
~/.claude/LIFEOS/USER/CUSTOMIZATIONS/SKILLS/Gifts/Recipients.md— one## <id>section per recipient: relationship, age with its as-of date, interests, constraints, occasion notes. Every recipient in it is its own run target ("gifts for "). - History:
~/.claude/LIFEOS/USER/CUSTOMIZATIONS/SKILLS/Gifts/History/<id>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md— one file per run; a second run the same day adds-2,-3. - A copy of each run goes to
~/Downloads/for review.
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

Gifts is a skill published in the GitHub repository danielmiessler/LifeOS (19,686 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 126 tokens to every session and 1,115 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
