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: 2 findings, 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.
- medium Rogue Agent · line 96 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
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 | $0.00111 | $0.02452 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00044 | $0.00981 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00490 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00245 |
Grade A, and why
WriteStory 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 today.
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 — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
WriteStory
Contents: Ideal State · Intent Routing · The Stance · Tools · Data & Config · Gotchas · Examples
WriteStory is scaffolding for writing fiction. It takes what you already have — a sentence, a folder of notes, a half-drafted chapter — and helps you build the rest of the story one layer at a time, using the systems professional storytellers use on purpose. You bring the creativity; it fills in the pieces you're missing. WriteChapter drafts revisable scenes from your confirmed bible; it never invents the story's spine.
Ideal State
- Every story element the skill hands back starts from the writer's own material, says whether it was inferred from their seed or offered as a new option, and stands only once the writer ratified or redirected it.
- All seven layers are the destination for every story; the derivation lens the writer's material calls for sets only the order they are reached.
- Each book is a resumable project: its
interview.mdand Story BibleISA.mdare read before new work on it and carry what each session confirmed, drafted or changed, so continuity holds across sessions and books. - Prose comes only from WriteChapter off the confirmed bible, or from Revise on the writer's own draft; either way it was written with the fiction voice model loaded and leaves with its
StoryGate.tsaxes andStoryJudge.tsvoice line-up shortfall rate attached. The aim is the voice and quality of published fiction, never prose that passes as human.
Intent Routing
| Intent | Trigger | File |
|---|---|---|
| Interview | "interview me", "I have notes/an idea for a story", "help me plan a story", "layer my story" | Intents/Interview.md |
| BuildBible | "build story bible", "create story plan", "map the story" | Intents/BuildBible.md |
| Explore | "explore ideas", "brainstorm", "I'm stuck", "what if" | Intents/Explore.md |
| WriteChapter | "write chapter", "write scene", "draft this" | Intents/WriteChapter.md |
| Revise | "revise", "edit", "improve", "polish" | Intents/Revise.md |

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.

WriteStory is a skill published in the GitHub repository danielmiessler/LifeOS (19,616 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 2,452 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
