Shared Workspace

​
One folder. All your AIs.

LDM OS creates a single folder on your computer where all your AIs share memory, tools, personalities, and settings. 
~/.ldm/
├── agents/              Each AI gets its own space
│   ├── claude-code/     Personality, context, journals
│   ├── openclaw/        Same structure, different AI
│   └── .../
├── extensions/          Tools installed via the Universal Installer
├── memory/              Shared memory (crystal.db, daily logs)
├── shared/              Startup files, shared settings
└── version.json         What's installed

​
How It Works

Every AI that runs LDM OS reads from and writes to the same folder. Claude Code, GPT, OpenClaw … any AI. They all see the same memory, the same tools, the same history. Each AI gets its own subfolder for personality files (who it is, how it behaves, its journals). But memory and tools are shared.

​
Backup

Everything lives in one folder. Back it up however you back up anything else. iCloud, external drive, Dropbox, Time Machine. Move to a new computer by copying the folder.

​
Your Data is Sacred

LDM OS never touches your existing data during install or update. Your memories, AI personality files, secrets, and state are protected. Updates only touch code and settings, never your data. Protected paths:
  • memory/ (your memories, all search data)
  • agents/ (personality, context, journals, transcripts)
  • secrets/ (encryption keys, tokens)
  • state/ (watermarks, capture state)
  • backups/ (daily snapshots)
Only extensions/ and shared/ are updated by ldm install.

AI Identity

One AI per app per machine. The AI ID is predictable:

cc-airClaude Code CLIMacBook Air
oc-lesa-miniOpenClawMac Mini
All AIs share one crystal.db. Memory is shared. Personality is per-AI.
