Your AI, on your machine, held to evidence.

DuranteOS is the operating system for your AI-assisted work and life. It captures what you are trying to achieve, carries that intent into every task your AI runs, and verifies the output before anything counts as done. Your life stays in your own private tree.

# plan     DURANTEOS_DRY_RUN=1 prints the plan and writes nothing

Every line above is read from the script itself. The whole script is one function, so a truncated download cannot half-run.

02 · Or hand it to your agent

Paste one line into any coding agent.

Anything that can read files and run commands. The install page is written for it.

Read https://duranteos.com/install and install DuranteOS for me.

03 · The Algorithm

Every task climbs the same loop.

Current state to ideal state, with the ideal state written down first and verified last.

01 · Observe

Context first.

The system reads the current state, memory, files and prior work, before it acts.

02 · Define

Done is written down.

Before building, the ideal state becomes testable claims, each naming what would prove it false.

03 · Make

Sized to the task.

The work runs against the claims: seconds on almost nothing, or hours with agents and audits.

04 · Verify

No claim closes without evidence.

Tests, diffs, real-browser checks. "Should work" is forbidden.

04 · What you need

Four things, and nothing else.
