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.

- NVIDIA SkillSpector warn
SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Data Exfiltration · line 13 Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.
What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00104 | $0.03288 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00042 | $0.01315 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00658 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00329 |
Grade A, and why
Telos scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:31337/notify \ How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 343 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
🚨 MANDATORY: Voice Notification (REQUIRED BEFORE ANY ACTION)
You MUST send this notification BEFORE doing anything else when this skill is invoked.
-
Send voice notification:
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:31337/notify \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow in the Telos skill to ACTION"}' \ > /dev/null 2>&1 & -
Output text notification:
Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **Telos** skill to ACTION...
This is not optional. Execute this curl command immediately upon skill invocation.
Telos
What It Does
Reads and updates two kinds of context. Personal TELOS: the principal's life context — goals, beliefs, wisdom, books, movies, challenges, narratives, strategies, mission, models, predictions, traumas, frames, lessons, wrong-beliefs — at ~/.claude/LIFEOS/USER/TELOS/, updated through the Update workflow with timestamped backups. Project TELOS: analyzes a directory of .md/.csv files to extract dependency chains (PROBLEMS→GOALS→STRATEGIES→PROJECTS), bottlenecks, alignment, and progress, then produces a McKinsey-style report, n=24 narrative points, or a Next.js dashboard built by parallel engineers.
The Problem
Life context and project state both sprawl across many files, and acting on them by hand is error-prone. Personal goals, beliefs, and lessons drift out of date, and hand-editing them risks losing history or corrupting structure. Project documentation hides the dependency chains, bottlenecks, and misalignments that decide whether the work is on track — you can read every file and still not see how PROBLEMS connect to GOALS connect to PROJECTS. This skill gives both a single safe way in: structured updates with backups for the personal side, and automated relationship analysis plus rendered outputs for the project side.
How It Works
TELOS (Telic Evolution and Life Operating System) is a context-gathering system with two applications:
What ships with it
57 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.

Telos is a skill published in the GitHub repository danielmiessler/LifeOS (19,573 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 3,288 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
