instar-identity

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of agents losing their identity, preferences, and learned context when sessions restart or the context window compacts. It provides a durable way to recover who the agent is and what it already knows.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Persistent agent identity stored on disk in .instar files instead of fragile chat context.
• Session-start and compaction-recovery workflows that re-inject identity and memory automatically.
• Manual reorientation steps for cases where hooks did not fire or the session lost track of its role.
• Use cases: recovering after a restart, resuming autonomous work, orienting a new Claude Code session, and preserving user preferences across long-running projects.

Quick Start

Use the instar-identity skill to verify Instar is installed, recover the project identity files, and reorient the session if the agent has lost track of who it is or what it is doing.
