instar-identity skillA

instar-identity is agent-read markdown (skill) from jkheadley/instar: Establish and recover persistent agent identity that survives context compaction, session restarts, and autonomous operation. Use when an agent needs to know who it is, recover after context compression, orient at session start, or understand the identity infrastructure. Trigger words: who am I, remember, identity, after restart, compaction, context loss, who am I working with, my principles..

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

Latest version
mdr add jkheadley/instar/instar-identity@v1.0
Exact content
mdr add jkheadley/instar/instar-identity@sha256:d17f1fe3f0e4d0b0

Pin 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.
