Runs before the agent uses a tool for AskUserQuestion, mcp__.*, Write, Edit and MultiEdit tool calls, executing free-text-guard.sh, external-operation-gate.js and duplicate-build-start-gate.js via bash (3 commands). From JKHeadley/instar.
Enter autonomous development mode with STRUCTURAL enforcement. Uses a stop hook to prevent premature exit. Generates stop conditions and confirms with user before starting. Work independently for a specified duration with progress reporting.
Deploy the current instar dist into a throwaway agent home and verify the deploy is healthy — clean evidence instead of post-hoc log forensics. Use BEFORE shipping a change that touches the deploy/lifeline/server path; AFTER landing such a change; or to reproduce a crash observed in the wild.
Lets the agent drive a real browser: open pages, click, type, take screenshots and read the accessibility tree, using Playwright. Runs locally from the @playwright/mcp npm package.
Claude Code instructions for JKHeadley/instar, covering claude.md — instar, what this project is, quick reference, architecture and development workflow.
Set up persistent agent identity files (AGENT.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md) and teach the agent to read them at every session start. Works in any Claude Code project — no external dependencies required. Trigger words: who am I, identity, remember me, agent name, my principles, who are you, what are my values.
Teach cross-session memory patterns using MEMORY.md — what to save, how to organize it, how to maintain it over time, and how to structure topic files as memory grows. Works in any Claude Code project with no external dependencies. Trigger words: remember this, save for later, across sessions, persistent memory, don't…
