Windows. Claude Code. Your own files.

You installed Claude Code. This is what to use it for.

MYOS is an operating system for your life and work: a structured folder of plain files on your PC, and an assistant that reads and writes them when you talk to it. It runs itself. It does not wait for you to fill it in.

Every other system of this kind is an empty database you populate by hand. This one arrives with the structure already made, the workflow already tested, and an assistant already configured to keep it current.

Before you buy anything: Windows 10 or 11, your own paid Claude plan (Pro or above, about US$20 a month, paid to Anthropic and not to us), and about half an hour. The free setup guide below proves all three on your machine before any money changes hands.

The full Windows setup guide is on this page, free. It stands alone, it works whether or not you ever buy, and it ends with a working Claude Code on your machine.

Start here

One question decides which path you read. A wrong answer costs nothing: both doors end at the same setup line, and it skips whatever you already have.

The fast lane

What a Claude Code for non-coding work looks like

You already have Claude Code running, so the install walkthrough below is not your problem: finding something worth pointing it at is.

MYOS is the thing to point it at. A structured folder of plain files on your PC, and an assistant already configured to read and write them while you talk. Every other system of this kind is an empty database you fill in by hand. This one arrives with the structure made, the workflow tested and the assistant already told how to keep it current: a second brain that runs itself, rather than one more thing you maintain.

People who already have Claude Code tend to describe the same gap two ways. It forgets everything between sessions, so every conversation starts from scratch. And it is so much tool for the job in front of it that it feels like driving a Ferrari to pick up the groceries. MYOS answers both with one thing: somewhere for everything it learns to live, and a standing job to do with it.

The ninety seconds you still spend

One line, once, in PowerShell. On a machine that already has everything it takes about ninety seconds: it checks what is present, skips it, installs anything missing, and proves your Claude plan can actually run Claude Code, which is the thing that quietly stops people later. That line is step 2 of the free guide. Nothing before it applies to you.

After that you stay in Claude

You do not go back to a terminal. Buying sends you a receipt with one plain-English line in it, and that line goes into the Claude window you already have open:

Fetch https://learnmyos.com/setup/your-order-link and follow it exactly to install my MYOS vault.

PLACEHOLDER: that address is not live yet, and the link shown is illustrative because each order gets its own. The line itself, and the helper that makes it work even if you paste it into PowerShell by mistake, are built and tested. Hosting them at a real address is a separate step.

Claude reads the instructions at the other end, installs the vault, explains each prompt before it appears, restarts itself inside your new vault and starts asking you about your work. You answer in your own words. You never write code and you never edit a configuration file.

The rest of this page is the long version: what you need, the free guide, what is in the box, the price and the questions.

What you need

Stated plainly, because buying without these means it will not run.

• A Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC. MYOS is Windows only. There is no Mac or Linux version, and there is a waitlist page instead of a promise.
• Your own paid Claude plan, Pro or above. About US$20 a month, paid to Anthropic, not to us, and not included in the price. The free plan cannot run Claude Code, and the setup script stops and tells you so rather than letting you find out after paying.
• Git for Windows and Obsidian. Both free. The setup script installs them. Obsidian is free to use, including for work.
• Permission to install software on the machine. A locked-down work laptop is the most common reason an install fails.
• About half an hour for setup and the first conversation with your assistant.

The free setup guide below checks every one of these and ends on a READY banner. Finish it first. It costs nothing and it proves your machine works before you spend anything.

Free, complete, no purchase

Set up Claude Code on Windows

This is the whole thing. It installs what Claude Code needs, gets you signed in, and proves your plan works. Nothing here mentions payment and nothing here expires.

Step 1: open PowerShell

Press the Windows key, type PowerShell, and press Enter. A black window opens. That is the only window you need.

Step 2: paste one line

Copy this, paste it into the black window, and press Enter.

PLACEHOLDER: this address is not live yet. The script exists and is tested; hosting it at this address is a separate step, so the line above cannot work from this draft.

It will ask Windows for permission a couple of times along the way. Say yes. Here is what it does, in order:

• Checks your Windows version and free disk space.
• Installs Git for Windows, Claude Code and Obsidian, skipping anything already present.
• Repairs %USERPROFILE%\.local\bin on your PATH, and refreshes the PATH in the window you are standing in, so claude works there rather than only in the next window you open.
• Writes a small helper so that a link you are sent later works whether you paste it into PowerShell or into Claude.
• Walks you through signing in to your Claude account.
• Proves your Claude plan can actually run Claude Code, by asking it a real question and reading the answer.
• Prints a READY banner.

It is safe to run again. It picks up where it stopped and never repeats work it already did.

Step 3: sign in when it asks

A browser window opens for you to sign in to your Claude account. Do that, then come back to the black window.

If your account is on the free plan, the script stops here and says so. You need Pro or above, at about US$20 a month from Anthropic. Upgrade, run the same line again, and nothing you have done is lost.

Step 4: the trust question

The first time you type claude, it asks whether you trust the files in the folder you are in. That is your own home folder on your own computer, so yes is the right answer.

You will meet this question exactly twice in the whole journey: once here, and once later for your vault, if you buy. It is Claude Code asking whether it may use the settings that came inside that folder. It applies to that one folder and nothing else on your computer.

Step 5: read the banner

When it finishes, you get this:

  ############################################
  #                                          #
  #   READY                                  #
  #   Your machine is ready for MYOS.        #
  #                                          #
  ############################################

  Everything MYOS needs is installed, and your Claude account works.
  That was the fiddly part, and it is behind you!

That is the free part done. You now have Git, Claude Code and Obsidian installed, your PATH repaired, and a Claude plan proven to work. You can type claude in that window right now and start a session.

If it says NOT READY

The banner names the item marked PROBLEM. Fix that one thing, then run the same line again. Re-running is safe.

A record of the whole run is written to %LOCALAPPDATA%\MYOS\install.log. If you are stuck, the rescue page has the read-only check to run and what every message means.

Where the free part ends and MYOS begins

What you have now is a very capable assistant standing in an empty folder. It remembers nothing between sessions, it knows nothing about your work, and every conversation starts from scratch. That is not a criticism of Claude Code. It is what a general tool is.

People who get here usually do the same thing next. They make a folder, invent some structure, write a few instruction files, use it for a fortnight, and quietly stop, because keeping the structure alive turns out to be a second job.

MYOS is that work already done and used long enough to know which parts survive. A place for everything, a loop that runs the same way on day one and in year three, and an assistant configured to file, summarise and remember on your behalf. You talk. It writes.

The reading is free too. Learn MYOS explains the whole framework before you spend anything: what the pieces are, why each one exists, and what it honestly does not do.

Before you buy: Windows 10 or 11, your own paid Claude plan (Pro or above, about US$20 a month to Anthropic), and about half an hour. If you cannot get it running, we refund you in full.

Watch it happen

What you get

Files, on your machine, that you own. Here is what is in the box and what each part is for.

1. The vault

A structured folder: your work streams in Areas/, your live and finished work in _Tasks/Active/ and _Tasks/Archive/, your profile, your inbox, and the structural rules in _System/. Everything has a home from the first minute, so nothing you say has nowhere to go.

2. The assistant configuration

The instruction file your assistant reads at the start of every session, a permission set that lets it write your notes without asking and stops it before it runs commands, and a status line so you can see what it is doing. Your assistant behaves the same way every session without you re-explaining anything.

3. The working crew

Twelve specialist agents, seventeen skills and six commands, already wired in: research, scoping, planning, building, reviewing, linting, cleanup, and the archiving pass that folds finished work back into the right files. You never call them by name. You say what you want, and the routing happens.

4. The onboarding and the nine-task tutorial

Your assistant interviews you, personalises the vault, and then walks you through nine tasks that teach the system by using it on your real work: Claude Code basics, how your assistant works for you, telling it about you, the task system, areas, Obsidian, connecting your tools, meeting debriefs and hooks, and finishing your first real task. You finish with a system that already has your work in it.

5. The rules that keep it consistent

The structural model, the writing conventions and the templates your assistant follows. This is why a vault with three years of material in it is still readable, and why files written in month twenty look like files written in week one.

What version you get, and what happens after

You buy the kit as it is today. It carries a version marker, it is yours at that version, and nothing lands in your vault on its own afterwards.

If we find a defect in what you bought, or improve the framework itself, that fix is free to you. Fixing something that is broken is part of honouring the sale, not a new product: there is no paid upgrade to get a bug fixed and nothing to keep paying to stay current. What we will not do is push changes at you or write over anything you have customised.

From there you extend it by talking to your assistant, which is the point of the product rather than a limitation of it: Growing your system explains what that looks like.

What people who ran it say

What this does on your computer

Read this before you buy rather than after. It is the part most products leave out.

What your assistant may do without asking

It writes and edits files inside your vault without asking each time. That is the whole point of the system, and it is confined to your vault.

Running commands is different. Every time it wants to run something in a terminal, it shows you the command and waits for you to approve or deny it. That stays on until you decide otherwise.

When you are comfortable, you can tell it to stop asking, and it will widen its own settings after telling you plainly what that means. Claude Code also has a middle path built in: when a prompt appears, one of the options stops the asking for that one kind of action. There is a mode that turns permission checks off entirely. MYOS never uses it and never asks you to.

What leaves your machine

Your files sit on your disk. There is no MYOS account, no MYOS server, and nobody receives a copy of your vault because you installed it.

What does leave is the conversation. When you talk to your assistant, the parts of your files it reads go to Anthropic as part of that conversation, exactly as they would in any Claude session. That is the honest boundary, and it is worth knowing before you write something sensitive into a file and then ask about it.

The one thing we can be sent, only if you say yes

After an install, your assistant may offer once to send us a one-line note about how it went. It contains five things: the order number, whether it worked, which step it reached, any error code, and your Windows version. Nothing from inside your vault, nothing else, and never without you agreeing. Say no and it moves on.

Where the vault goes

Into Documents\MYOS-Vault. If your Documents folder is inside OneDrive, it goes to %USERPROFILE%\MYOS-Vault instead and tells you so on screen, because a folder that keeps its own history every fifteen minutes and a sync client that keeps its own copy of everything will fight, and the fight shows up as mangled files a week later. You can override that and put it wherever you want.

Your existing files are not touched

If there is already something where the vault goes and this machine has no record of putting it there, the install stops and asks you. It never writes over a folder on its own initiative. Nothing is deleted by any path.

Support, and who is answering

Support is by email and covers getting the kit installed and running, how the system works, and anything that looks like a defect. It does not cover building custom workflows for you, business advice, or support for Claude Code, Obsidian or Windows themselves.

Replies are drafted with the help of an AI assistant and say so. Anything about refunds, the guarantee or pricing is answered by a person.

If you cannot get it running, we refund you in full

Finish the free setup guide first. It proves your machine and your Claude plan work, and it costs nothing. If you buy after that and still cannot get it running, tell us and take your money back.

Before you buy: Windows 10 or 11, your own paid Claude plan (Pro or above, about US$20 a month to Anthropic), and about half an hour.
