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 | $0.00012 | $0.02140 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.01070 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00428 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00214 |
Grade A, and why
core-config 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 11d 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 — 226 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
core-config
Mandatory integrity contract
Before acting, load and follow ../../references/data-integrity.md. Its provenance, missing-value, correction-history, defensive-write, backup, and recovery rules are mandatory for this subskill.
Read and update Life OS private configuration safely. Config is the coordination map for the skill, not a replacement for Hermes/OpenClaw/external data stores.
Trigger
Use when the user asks to inspect or change Life OS settings, source decisions, pointers, access instructions, routine state, cache policy, or autonomy/approval preferences.
Config location
Default:
$HOME/.life-os/config.json
Override:
$LIFEOS_DATA_DIR/config.json
Config owns
Global config owns install-wide coordination plus horizontal core choices used by many skills:
enabled- active
runtime skills: per-skill enablement/preferencessemantic_setup: setup status and pointerssources: cross-skill source pointers such as tasks, memory/context, calendar, and routine run recordspolicies: cross-skill policies such as schedule, delivery, trigger defaults, approval behavior, review-item cadence defaults, and the install-wide autonomy mode- active or paused guided-meeting pointers when they are horizontal context rather than domain state
These horizontal choices belong in global config because context-now, routines-pulse, routines-weekly-review, people-followups, and domain skills may all need the same task or memory source. Forcing every skill to read tasks-todo/data.json as a pseudo-database is fake modularity.
Autonomy mode
Setup is not complete until the user chooses an autonomy mode. The mode is saved as policies.autonomy_mode; it is agent-facing policy, not a bypass around runtime permissions.
Recommended default: safe-internal.
Ask in human language first, then show the technical value in parentheses:
- Ask me before almost anything (
approval-first): ask before every write, runtime change, external action, or state mutation. - Recommended: Safe internal (
safe-internal): allow read-only inspection and Life OS private tracking writes; ask before contacting people, changing external systems, runtime config, cron changes, deletion, publishing, or broad migrations. - More autonomous for reversible local maintenance (
trusted-local): allow reversible local/runtime maintenance that is clearly scoped; ask before external communication, destructive changes, public publishing, credential/account changes, or broad migrations. - Act within the saved policy unless dangerous or blocked by the runtime (
allow-all): do not ask for routine actions explicitly allowed by the saved policy and runtime safety layer; still escalate dangerous, legal, credential, destructive, or external communication actions when the runtime requires it.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

core-config is a skill published in the GitHub repository djangonavarro220/agentic-life-os (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 2,140 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.

Plan and then execute a migration of a project from the mem0 open-source / self-hosted SDK (the local Memory class) to the mem0 Platform / hosted / managed SDK (the MemoryClient class). Use this whenever a developer wants to move, switch, or migrate their mem0 usage off OSS/self-hosted to the hosted API — e.g.…

Use when the user asks to establish shared project language, or project work exposes a conflicting, renamed, or deprecated domain term that needs active semantic modeling. Routine small tasks stay on the fast path.
