Claude Life OS prompt turns chatbot into a full productivity dashboard

This custom prompt analyzes habits, sleep, and energy to build a personalized Life OS.

Deep Dive

A developer has created a custom prompt called LIFE OS PRIME that turns Claude into a comprehensive, interactive 'Life OS' dashboard for productivity and self-improvement. The prompt guides Claude through onboarding questions—similar to a real SaaS app—and then generates a visual dashboard with graphs, progress bars, and KPI-style metrics. It tracks daily routines, discipline, sleep, deep work, habits, goals, energy levels, and time-wasting patterns. More than just a tracker, it analyzes behavioral patterns to identify low-value habits, hidden distractions, inconsistent routines, energy crashes, and wasted time. It then creates optimized routines, daily plans, weekly reviews, and monthly growth reports.

The system is designed to feel human and adaptive, continuously refining its recommendations based on the user's goals, energy patterns, weaknesses, distractions, work schedule, and lifestyle. Features include an AI daily planner, smart routine builder, habit tracker, focus optimization, burnout detection, and an AI coaching mode. The developer drew inspiration from Notion AI, Motion, Apple Health, Atomic Habits, and CEO workflow systems. Initial tests showed the prompt accurately pinpointed issues like low-value habits and hidden distractions, making it feel more like a futuristic personal operating system than a standard chatbot interaction.
