+## 📦 Packs
+
+Packs are standalone, AI-installable capabilities you can add to any AI coding harness without installing the full system. Each pack is a self-contained prompt your DA can read and execute — point it at the pack directory and say "install this," and it handles the rest.

+## ❓ FAQ
+
+### How is LifeOS different from just using Claude Code?
+
+LifeOS is built natively on Claude Code and designed to stay that way. We chose Claude Code because its hook system, context management, and agentic architecture are the best foundation available for personal AI infrastructure.
+
+LifeOS isn't a replacement for Claude Code — it's the layer on top that makes Claude Code *yours*:
+
+- **Persistent memory** — Your DA remembers past sessions, decisions, and learnings
+- **Custom skills** — Specialized capabilities for the things you do most
+- **Your context** — Goals, contacts, preferences—all available without re-explaining
+- **Intelligent routing** — Say "research this" and the right workflow triggers automatically
+- **Self-improvement** — The system modifies itself based on what it learns
+
+Think of it this way: Claude Code is the engine. LifeOS is everything else that makes it *your* car.
+
+### What's the difference between LifeOS and Claude Code's built-in features?
+
+Claude Code provides powerful primitives — hooks, slash commands, MCP servers, context files. These are individual building blocks.
+
+LifeOS is the complete system built on those primitives. It connects everything together: your goals inform your skills, your skills generate memory, your memory improves future responses. LifeOS turns Claude Code's building blocks into a coherent personal AI platform.
+
+### Is LifeOS only for Claude Code?
+
+LifeOS is Claude Code native. We believe Claude Code's hook system, context management, and agentic capabilities make it the best platform for personal AI infrastructure, and LifeOS is designed to take full advantage of those features.
+
+That said, LifeOS's concepts (skills, memory, algorithms) are universal, and the code is TypeScript and Bash — so community members are welcome to adapt it for other platforms.
+
+### How is this different from fabric?
+
+[Fabric](https://github.com/danielmiessler/fabric) is a collection of AI prompts (patterns) for specific tasks. It's focused on *what to ask AI*.
 
-- **[Releases](Releases/)** — v6.0.0 is current
-- **[Full docs](https://docs.ourlifeos.ai)**
-- **[Community](https://danielmiessler.com/upgrade)**
-- **[License](./LICENSE)** — MIT
+LifeOS is infrastructure for *how your DA operates*—memory, skills, routing, context, self-improvement. They're complementary. Many LifeOS users integrate Fabric patterns into their skills.
+
+### What if I break something?
+
+Recovery is straightforward:
+
+- **Back up first** — Before any upgrade: `cp -r ~/.claude ~/.claude-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d)`
+- **USER/ is safe** — Your customizations in `USER/` are never touched by the installer or upgrades
+- **Settings merge, not overwrite** — The installer only updates identity and version fields; your hooks, statusline, and custom config are preserved
+- **Git-backed** — Version control everything, roll back when needed
+- **History is preserved** — Your DA's memory survives mistakes
+- **DA can fix it** — Your DA helped build it, it can help repair it
+- **Re-install** — Run the installer again; it detects existing installations and merges intelligently

+
+**v6.0.0 (2026-07-02) — One Skill, One Install**
+- **Skill-based distribution** — the whole system now ships as a single self-contained skill (`LifeOS/`): the orchestrator (SKILL.md + Workflows + Tools) plus a complete install payload (system prompt, Algorithm, 49 skills, hooks, agents, Pulse, statusline, USER + MEMORY scaffolds). One directory, one install.
+- **First release under the LifeOS name** — the project was PAI (Personal AI Infrastructure); this is the same system, renamed.
+- **One-line install** — `curl -fsSL https://ourlifeos.ai/install.sh | bash` lays down the entire system.
+- **Full Pulse on first boot** — the installer stands up the Life Dashboard and menu-bar app, ships generic TELOS templates so the dashboard renders on a fresh install, and runs the setup interview to seed it.
+- **Algorithm v6.23.0** — Current State → Ideal State across seven phases, classifier-driven mode + tier, cross-vendor verification at E4/E5.
+- **Clean by construction** — nothing personal ships; the USER tree is a blank template you populate. Release gates + a cross-vendor audit run before every publish.
+- [Full release notes](Releases/v6.0.0/README.md)
+
+**v5.0.0 (2026-04-30) — Life Operating System**
+- **Pulse** — unified daemon (port 31337): voice, hooks, observability, cron, Life Dashboard, wiki API, optional Telegram/iMessage bridges. Replaces every previous loose service.
+- **The DA** — Digital Assistant identity layer. PRINCIPAL_IDENTITY + DA_IDENTITY pair, loaded at session start. `/interview` walks you through naming your DA, picking a voice, capturing TELOS.
+- **Algorithm v6.3.0** — seven-phase loop (OBSERVE → THINK → PLAN → BUILD → EXECUTE → VERIFY → LEARN). Classifier picks MINIMAL/NATIVE/ALGORITHM and tier (E1–E5) per prompt. Verification doctrine (live-probe, advisor calls, cross-vendor audit at E4/E5).
+- **The ISA** — Ideal State Artifact primitive. One document, twelve sections, five identities. Owned by the **ISA skill**.
+- **Containment + release tooling** — privacy is structural. Security gates run on every public release; two-stage release (stage → publish) never auto-chains.
+- **Memory v7.6** — structured by purpose: WORK, KNOWLEDGE (typed graph), LEARNING, RELATIONSHIP, OBSERVABILITY, STATE.
+- [Full release notes + migration guide](Releases/v5.0.0/README.md)
+
+**v4.0.3 (2026-03-01) — Community PR Patch**

+
+**v2.4.0 (2026-01-23) — The Algorithm**
+- Universal problem-solving system with ISC tracking, Euphoric Surprise as the outcome metric
