AI is a multiplier.
But 10ร zero is still zero.
What AI generates without you is worthless. Anyone can have that.
Your value comes from your knowledge,
your creativity,
your guidance.
Praxis makes sure the AI actually has it.
In 5 years, this will be a basic skill.
Right now, CLI agents feel like a nerd tool.
Terminal commands. Git repos. Markdown files.
But the interfaces are getting easier. Fast.
Claude Desktop. Gemini. What comes next.
The question isn't if you'll need this.
The question is: Do you learn now โ or too late?
Early adopters don't just get a head start.
They get compound returns on every improvement they make.
Advantage
Catch-up Forever
Not a coding tool.
A harness for AI.
Most people think Claude Code is for writing code.
It's not. That's just one thing it can do.
Use Tools
Read files, browse web, call APIs, run commands. The agent interacts with the real world.
Orchestrate Itself
Break down tasks, decide next steps, course-correct when things go wrong. Autonomous execution.
Control Your Computer
Anything you can do manually, it can do programmatically. Full access to your environment.
Build New Tools
Need something that doesn't exist? Build it. Right now. In the same conversation.
The LLM is a wild horse. Powerful, but directionless.
The CLI agent is the bridle that lets you ride.
Claude Code today. Gemini CLI tomorrow. Others will follow.
The skill transfers. The system transfers. You're not locked in.
Everyone's doing AI wrong.
Three camps. All losing.
The Believers
"AI will do everything for me"
They get:
- โ Generic slop that anyone else can have
- โ No differentiation
- โ Zero competitive advantage
The Skeptics
"AI only produces garbage"
They get:
- โ Nothing
- โ Miss the productivity gains entirely
- โ Fall behind while others accelerate
The Collectors
"I have 20 AI subscriptions"
They get:
- โ Fragmented knowledge
- โ Vendor lock-in everywhere
- โ $300/month for tools that all do the same thing
There's a fourth way.
One agent. Your context. Everything else follows.
Every AI tool is just
prompts in a UI.
That $30/month writing tool?
A handful of prompts.
That $20/month research assistant?
Same model you already have.
That $50/month meeting analyzer?
Templates + API calls.
They're all wrappers.
And wrappers have an expiration date.
As agents get smarter, the UIs become unnecessary.
The fancy dashboards become overhead.
The "proprietary workflows" become commodity.
What doesn't expire:
Own your AI. Don't rent it.
Renting (Tools)
- โ Their prompts
- โ Their priorities
- โ Their model choices
- โ Their update schedule
- You adapt to them
New model? Wait for vendor.
New feature? "Coming soon."
Vendor pivots? You're stuck.
Owning (Praxis)
- โ YOUR prompts
- โ YOUR priorities
- โ YOUR model choices
- โ YOUR update schedule
- It adapts to YOU
New model? Use it today.
New feature? Build it now.
You pivot? System follows.
Praxis isn't a product you use.
It's a workshop you own.
~/praxis/ ~/praxis/ ~/praxis/ ~/praxis/ Improve once. Better everywhere. Forever yours.
Your context. Persistent. Everywhere.
The layer between you and the agent that makes everything work.
Personality
How should the AI communicate with you? Direct? Supportive? Challenging?
Your preferences, loaded automatically. Every conversation starts right.
Team & Network
"I had a meeting with Sarah" โ the AI knows who Sarah is.
Key contacts with context. No more explaining relationships every time.
Personal
Your strengths. Your blind spots. Patterns you want to break.
The AI challenges you when you fall into old habits. A partner, not a yes-machine.
Operational
Your commands. Your workflows. Your tools.
/research,
/analyze,
/document
โ built by you, evolving with every use.
Setup Wizard
5 questions โ fully configured
Self-Improvement
Retros that feed back in
Transparent
All markdown. Git-versioned.
Portable
Works across all projects
Not just for coding.
A minimal foundation that does hard things well. Not 100 prompts you'll never use.
Meeting Intelligence
Analyze transcripts, extract insights, update people profiles, track commitments. Transform hours into actionable intelligence.
Structured Research
Market analysis, competitive intelligence, technical deep-dives. Multi-source research with synthesis and actionable outputs.
Living Documentation
Auto-generated docs that stay current with your codebase. Compress bloated docs. Validate links and code references.
Pattern Recognition
Learns your habits, warns about unsustainable patterns, suggests better approaches based on your track record.
Communication
Knows your voice, your contacts, your communication style. Drafts that sound like you, not like a robot.
Strategic Planning
Context-aware planning that knows your priorities, your constraints, and challenges your assumptions.
And yes, also coding.
5-phase development pipeline with quality gates. Implementation-blind testing. Context-blind review. Fresh eyes catch what context-polluted eyes miss.
Ready to own your AI?
Praxis is open source. Fork it. Make it yours.
That's not a suggestion โ that's the point.
Your fork. Your improvements. Your system.
Pull updates when you want. Ignore them when you don't.
You're not a user. You're an owner.
