IRL Wisdom turns a terminal window into a small daily ritual. Open the command palette, choose a path, and leave with one useful thought—not another infinite feed.

Install

pip install --upgrade irl-wisdom

Then open the interactive experience:

irl-wisdom

Use the arrow keys to move, press Enter to choose, and let the stone do the rest.

What is inside

Path	What you get
Daily wisdom	A deterministic thought for the day
Mental models	Better tools for reasoning and decisions
Cognitive biases	Names for the ways judgment goes sideways
48 Laws of Power	One law, a plain-English explanation, and a Moai takeaway
Discipline	A short push when motivation wanders off
Powerful facts	Compact facts worth remembering
Moai vibes	Unshakable perspective, terminal-sized
Favorites	A personal collection stored on your machine

The interface includes a daily streak, saved favorites, clipboard support, responsive terminal sizing, and a warm burnt-orange command-palette aesthetic.

Commands

irl-wisdom daily
irl-wisdom moai
irl-wisdom power
irl-wisdom models
irl-wisdom biases
irl-wisdom discipline
irl-wisdom fact
irl-wisdom upgrade

Add --copy or -c to supported knowledge commands:

irl-wisdom models --copy

A few commands are deliberately missing from this list. Curiosity deserves rewards.

The Moai upgrade ritual

IRL Wisdom can update itself without wrestling with Windows launcher locks:

irl-wisdom upgrade

The Moai checks PyPI, compares versions, asks permission, and hands installation to a delayed helper after the current CLI exits.

For scripts and fearless stones:

irl-wisdom upgrade --yes

How it works

irl-wisdom
├── Typer commands
├── Questionary command palette
├── Rich terminal rendering
├── Local JSON knowledge collections
└── ~/.irl_wisdom_config.json
    ├── favorites
    └── daily streak

The package is intentionally lightweight: no account, database, telemetry, or cloud service is required. Favorites and streak state stay local.
