identity

A command for viewing and editing the agent’s identity settings, stored in `.anty/identity.md`. These settings describe how the agent communicates, thinks, and makes decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to view the current identity settings or update the agent’s communication style, decision philosophy, risk tolerance, and values.
Why use it?
It gives you one place to inspect and change the agent’s behavior preferences instead of editing the file by hand.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

identity scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

identity is a command published in the GitHub repository VoxTechnologies/anty-framework (6 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 811 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
