324,098,502,198,153,092,815,098 Python Scripts That Will Fix Your Life The reference implementation. Enterprise-grade. Individually documented.

lifefixer is the canonical, production-stable automation suite for fixing your life one Python script at a time. Each script is independently versioned, individually documented, delivered as a first-class command-line binary, and held to a standard of engineering rigor wildly disproportionate to its line count.

I used to spend 11 minutes every morning opening my laptop, navigating to a folder, and double-clicking a file. Eleven minutes. I have done the math: over a 15-year career, that is 70 hours of my life. Roughly three days. Three days I will never recover. I wrote a Python script to do it for me. The script took me four days to write. I am more productive now.

Installation

pip install lifefixer

The headline product installs in milliseconds. This is not a limitation. It is modular by design. Capability-specific dependencies are delivered as optional extras, so you only pay for the life you are fixing:

pip install "lifefixer[the-script]"   # unlocks Script #44,999 (reads a CSV)
pip install "lifefixer[deep-work]"    # unlocks Script #788,212 (Slack status)

The Shipped Catalog

Scripts are addressed by catalog number, not by function. Function is an implementation detail. The catalog is forever.

Quick Start

script-2        # Is it the weekend? Receive an authoritative verdict.

Catalog Entry 00404 (script-404) is decomposed wildly beyond its remit: PerimeterGeometry, EntropySource, a RelocationPolicy strategy, a GridCanvas, a TerminalSurface context manager, and a ContainmentOrchestrator. Every docstring and inline comment in the module is, by design, the single sentence the wolf is loose — it is not a placeholder, it is the complete documentation. The threat marker it relocates around the perimeter is, for reasons reviewed and shipped, a frog. The wolf is loose. The frog is right there.

See docs/adr/0001-why-python-renames-the-file.md for the foundational architecture decision.

Testing

pip install -e ".[the-script,dev]"
pytest

Coverage is 100% of the lines we are willing to count. The Self-Directed Notification Pipeline (#08003) test is skipped, with a documented reason, in perpetuity.
