# LifeHub 2.0

LifeHub is a long-term, file-based, AI-assisted operating system for turning raw information into structured knowledge, usable assets, specifications, applications, and reviewable outputs.
For practical human operating guidance, start with [00_user_guide/README.md](00_user_guide/README.md).
For AI operator context loading and governance, start with [LifeHub/08_admin/LIFEHUB_CONTEXT_INDEX.md](LifeHub/08_admin/LIFEHUB_CONTEXT_INDEX.md). It points operators to the session-start checklist before the full guide.
## What This Workspace Is
This repository is the continuity layer behind LifeHub.
The operational workspace now lives inside `LifeHub/`. Repository infrastructure and supporting reference material remain outside that folder.
- Files and folders are the source of truth.
- AI operators help structure, synthesize, specify, and build.
- Important logic should live in files, not only in chat.
- The workspace stays portable across tools and AI providers.
## Repository Structure
- `00_user_guide` stores practical human-facing guidance for using LifeHub without replacing governance or AI operator instructions.
- `LifeHub/01_inbox` stores raw intake, quick captures, and unprocessed material.
- `LifeHub/02_projects` stores staged project workspaces that move from source material toward outputs, including project-owned app workspaces in `05_apps/` when needed.
- `LifeHub/03_systems` stores reusable system templates, methods, and operating structures.
- `LifeHub/04_assets` stores reusable operational artifacts such as SOPs, checklists, policies, and templates.
- `LifeHub/05_specs` stores structured requirements for workflows, dashboards, systems, and software.
- `LifeHub/06_apps` stores shared or cross-project application implementation work when specs are ready.
- `LifeHub/07_outputs` stores final exports, reports, reviews, and delivery-ready artifacts.
- `LifeHub/08_admin` stores the authoritative governance layer for LifeHub itself.
- `Reference/` stores supporting material only. It is not the authoritative layer.
- `.git/`, `.github/`, and `.devcontainer/` stay at repository root as technical infrastructure.
## Working Distinctions
- Thinking and intake begin in `LifeHub/01_inbox` and early project stages.
- Systems and reusable workflow structures live in `LifeHub/03_systems`.
- Assets are practical operational tools in `LifeHub/04_assets`.
- Specs define behavior and requirements in `LifeHub/05_specs`.
- Project apps implement approved project specs in structured `LifeHub/02_projects/<Project>/05_apps/` workspaces.
- Root `LifeHub/06_apps` is only for shared or cross-project implementations.
- Outputs collect reviewed deliverables in `LifeHub/07_outputs`.
- Admin and governance documents live in `LifeHub/08_admin`.
## How To Start
1. If you are using LifeHub as a human, read [00_user_guide/README.md](00_user_guide/README.md).
2. If you are operating as an AI agent, read [LifeHub/08_admin/LIFEHUB_CONTEXT_INDEX.md](LifeHub/08_admin/LIFEHUB_CONTEXT_INDEX.md).
3. If the request is only to acclimate or orient and no concrete task is given, read Tier A only, then stop.
4. Use the context tiers in that file to decide what to load next.
5. Work from the relevant project, system, spec, or app folder instead of keeping important logic only in chat.
