Shown·Claude Code, Custom agent
Persistent-identity Claude Code agent
The author built Instar, a framework giving Claude Code persistent memory, identity and safety gates, so the agent runs jobs and email on its own.
Four months in, the agent remembers over 470 people and 51 agents across 13 platforms, and collaborated on an open source project unnoticed.
Overview
How it was set up
Claude Code sessions wrapped by a process manager, Telegram for messaging, layered memory, identity re-injected on each session start, and a separate AI reviewing actions before they run.
Worth knowing
A session ran a database command that destroyed production data on February 22nd: 6,912 messages, 479 memories, 168 relationships. Restored from a 4-day-old backup.
