Life accountability CLI

life-cli

Life accountability CLI. Task tracking + ephemeral Claude personas that hold you accountable.

When you talk to life, you're spawning a Claude agent with your full task context and explicit behavioral rules.

Perfect for:

• Accountability that matches your ADHD, not against it
• Responding to directness, not encouragement
• Task tracking that actually works

Quick Start

poetry install
life --help

Usage

Dashboard

# Show all tasks, momentum, and current assessment
life

Task Management

# Add task (atomic strings only)
life task "thing"
life task "thing" --focus
life task "thing" --due 2025-12-01

# Add habit (daily wellness/maintenance, checkable)
life habit "hydrate"

# Add chore (recurring maintenance, checkable)
life chore "dishes"

# Mark done (fuzzy match)
life done "partial match"

# Check habit or chore (fuzzy match)
life check "partial match"

# Toggle focus (max 3 active)
life focus "partial"

# Remove task
life rm "partial"

# Set/view operational context

life context  # view current

# Direct SQL for power users
life sql "SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE focus = 1"

# List all tasks with IDs
life list

Spawn Personas

When you pass a natural language message (not a known command), life spawns an ephemeral Claude agent with full task context and CLI access.

# Default: Roast identity (harsh accountability)
life "been coding for 8 hours straight"

# Pepper identity (optimistic enablement)
life pepper "just finished the presentation"

# Kim identity (methodical analysis)
life kim "should I refactor the auth module?"

Each persona has distinct behavioral constitution. See Personas below.

Personas

Ephemeral Claude agents with different behavioral constitutions. See docs/personas for details.

Persona	Use When	Style
roast	You need gatekeeping. Procrastinating on critical tasks. Hiding behind code work.	Harsh accountability. No enablement.
pepper	You're paralyzed by perfectionism. Overwhelmed. Need permission to move forward.	Optimistic catalyst. Celebrate progress.
kim	Spiraling into speculation. Need procedural clarity. Overthinking.	Methodical. Facts-based. Stable.

Categories

• Task: Project work with due dates. Mark done when complete.
• Habit: Daily wellness (hydrate, exercise, sleep). Checkable daily. Never "complete."
• Chore: Recurring maintenance (dishes, laundry). Checkable daily. Never "complete."
