Show HN: My personal agent, distributed as a prompt

Matt Abate open-sourced a personal agent called life-distributable on GitHub, distributed as a prompt that users paste into Claude Code or Codex on a Mac to clone the repository and follow its SETUP.md. The prompt builds a Desktop and iPhone app for communicating with the agent, which Abate says can be asked to refactor those apps to match a user's desired experience. Abate said his own agent manages his daily routine and finances and runs a P&L on itself that has stayed positive, buying it Claude Max at +$200 and a Mac mini at +$1,600.

Hi HN, I'm Matt. I just open-sourced my personal agent. If you're interested, paste this into Claude Code or Codex on a Mac: "Clone github.com/mattabate/life-distributable and set up my life agent. Follow its SETUP.md." What's cool about the agent: - It's software distributed as a prompt. No installer, no package, no config. - The prompt builds a Desktop and iPhone app for communicating with the agent. You can ask the agent to update or refactor the Desktop and iPhone apps to match your desired user experience and use case. - Mine keeps me on my daily routine, manages my finances and runs a P&L on itself that has stayed positive. When it hit +$200 I bought it Claude Max. When it hit +$1,600, I bought it a Mac mini. Let me know what you think.
