JKHeadleyCommunity·22 Agent Skills Included

instar

Persistent memory, scheduling, and messaging for coding agents

Turns Claude Code or Codex into a persistent, proactive agent with cross-session memory, cron-scheduled jobs, and two-way messaging over Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, and iMessage. Eliminates forgotten context after restarts, lost commitments, and silent job failures through structural hooks, watchdogs, and recovery sentinels. Includes ready-made skills for identity, debugging, safety guards, web fetching, and autonomous work sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema

How to install instar?▼

Run `npx skills add JKHeadley/instar --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills in this suite globally.

How to give Claude Code persistent memory?▼

Instar stores identity and memory in files like AGENT.md and MEMORY.md, then uses hooks to re-inject them at every session start and after context compaction, so nothing is forgotten.

Can my agent run scheduled tasks while I sleep?▼

Yes. The instar-scheduler skill runs cron-based jobs that spawn real Claude Code sessions with full tool access, and reports results to your phone.

Does instar work with Telegram and WhatsApp?▼

Yes. It provides two-way messaging over Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, and iMessage, so you can chat with your agent and receive alerts from anywhere.

Can I use instar skills without coding experience?▼

Yes. A guided setup wizard configures everything conversationally, and the agent handles the technical execution based on your plain-English requests.
