AI Life Assistant
A symbiotic AI agent that remembers everything, challenges you, and extends your cognition. Works across Claude Code, opencode, nanobot, and any LLM interface.
What This Is
Four files that turn any AI into a symbiotic agent with persistent memory, pattern recognition, and autonomous execution. Not a chatbot. An agent that lives in your filesystem and operates alongside you.
Installation
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lout33/ai-life-assistant/main/install.sh | bash
Or clone and open with your AI coding tool:
git clone https://github.com/lout33/ai-life-assistant
cd ai-life-assistant
The 4-File System
| File | Purpose | Stability |
|------|---------|-----------|
| AGENTS.md | Operations, rules, session protocol | Stable |
| SOUL.md | Agent personality, identity | Stable |
| USER.md | Your profile, psychology, patterns | Stable |
| NOW.md | Current state, queue, memory log | Dynamic |
The agent reads all four at session start, updates NOW.md as you work.
Optional Files
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| IDEAS.md | Capture ideas on the fly |
| PROJECTS.md | Detailed project tracking |
| PEOPLE.md | Network and relationships |
| JOURNAL.md | Longer-form reflections |
| LOG_ARCHIVE.md | Archived memory logs |
Just create the file. The agent discovers and uses it.
Commands
| Command | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| /start-day | Morning kickoff. Sets MIT for the day. |
| /check-day | Quick accountability check-in. |
| /end-day | Evening review. Captures wins, lessons. |
| /reflect | Deep reflection. Surfaces patterns. |
Commands work manually or scheduled via cron. See commands/README.md.
Interoperability
One directory, multiple interfaces:
| Framework | Config |
|-----------|--------|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (concatenate the 4 files) |
| opencode | ~/.config/opencode/ or project root |
| nanobot | Set workspace in ~/.nanobot/config.json |
Use Claude Code for deep coding, opencode for terminal, nanobot for Telegram/cron. All reading from the same files.
What Makes It Different
It challenges you. From a real conversation:
AI: "You find something valuable -> People want it -> You feel repulsed by the exchange -> You give it away for free -> You have no money -> Repeat. That's not idealism. That's self-punishment."
It remembers. Persistent memory across sessions. Patterns, quotes, history.
It acts. Writes code, researches, creates files. Not just advice.
The Memory Log
In NOW.md, the agent maintains a dated log of patterns, quotes, and insights:
### Jan 10
- Avoided user call. Rescheduled twice. Pattern: building = safe, talking = scary.
### Jan 15
- Had first user call. Quote: 'I've been building what I think they want instead of asking'
### Feb 1
- Pattern confirmed: 3 weeks on feature nobody asked for. This is the 3rd time.
The longer you use it, the better it gets.
Philosophy
Symbiotic > Assistive. Challenge > Validate. Memory compounds. Ship ugly.
