bootstrap-agent-identity skillA
bootstrap-agent-identity is agent-read markdown (skill) from pjt222/agent-almanac: Consistent agent behavior after restart — progressive identity loading, working context reconstruction from persistent artifacts, fresh-vs-continuation detection, calibration through centering and attunement, and identity verification for coherence. Addresses the cold-start problem where an agent must reconstruct who it is and what it was doing from evidence rather than memory. Use at the start of every new session, after a session interruption or crash, when agent behavior feels inconsistent wi.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/bootstrap-agent-identity@v1.0mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/bootstrap-agent-identity@sha256:cafe192ebec30a60Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
