eptwts · x · 2026-08-10
The author shares a comprehensive prompt designed to instruct an AI agent to build a generic, durable, file-based knowledge base and life tracker. This system aims to eliminate the need for users to repeat context across different sessions.
The architecture consists of four connected layers:
- Portable Markdown Knowledge Base: Serves as the detailed source of truth.
- Persistent Memory Pointer: Tells future agents where the knowledge base lives and how to retrieve from it.
- Reusable Skills and Scripts: For capturing, retrieving, correcting, and maintaining context.
- Private Life Operating System: Manages checklists, habits, goal breakdowns, and project reviews.
