As soon as you activate Claude in the terminal, you can just try and drop the root folder of the OS into the terminal so that knows what it’s supposed to look at from their own. You can just talk to it naturally.
After the system is ready, the first thing to do is to set up your Northstar but all you have to do every time you login is just to activate Claude. Let it read the files in the directory by just simply dragging and dropping the folder into the terminal and then ask it to do your daily check-in or what else you can do
Clarification for non-tech people not familiar with macOS - the folder isn’t being moved. Since you dragged the folder to the Terminal window, Terminal interprets that action as a folder path. So Claude code is just reading that path (so you don’t need to type it). The folder will always stay in its current location.
Example, before running Claude Code, open Terminal and type “cd “ (notice the space after cd). Then drag a folder to the Terminal window. It will autofill the folder path for you. If you hit enter, that means Terminal is now open in that folder. This works with files or any other data too natively in macOS.
Ahh thank you I was actually just thinking of how to do that Imans I don’t even know how to make that squiggle hyphen before cd. That helps. Is there a way to open terminal inside of a folder? I think windows has that function when you go into the address bar and type cmd or so
While the idea is appealing, there is a lot to contend with within this operating system. While it is designed to assist, it feels heavily like more that I need to attend to in my day/week/month/year. It feels like it will require a lot of my attention which gets more fragmented with every new piece of information or new tool... maybe I just need to try it to see if this is the case..
I would not worry about everything that is mentioned inside the prompt. You can spend as much or as little time with it as you like and the system adjusts accordingly
My experience I’d say that you need to be curious and add it to your routines. Like when you have it open during morning coffee for example. I host my files for it on GitHub so that I can access it from cc from my phone
Nice!
How do you run your first daily check-in?

move the whole folder or the individual files?

Cool! I built something very similar but have it within my Obsidian vault
I love Obsidian. I actually prefer it as a visual interface for systems like this. I just didn’t want to overwhelm the readers.
Fair enough 😂
This looks great! Thanks!
Did you work with Claude code before?
Will do! I have a link to this thread saved so I don’t lose track! 😁
I haven’t yet. Many coworkers have. Planning on doing this next week once I am back at work!
It’s worth it. Let me know how it goes
That's a great one Kamil, well done!
Definitely fills the gap that has been missing in over saturated startup/founders space.
Building a personal OS in minutes with Claude Code is brilliant. Automation and systems thinking at work.
I just started using it myself but from
