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

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.

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."
