- Instar is a framework for building agents on **[Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code)** — but where stock Claude Code and most other agent frameworks treat identity, memory, and continuity as optional features bolted onto a stateless runtime, Instar inverts that. Every Instar agent is **coherent by default**: it knows who it is, remembers what has happened, recognizes the people it talks to, and stays the same agent across restarts and weeks of operation. Everything else the framework gives you — scheduling, multi-channel messaging (Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage), sub-agents, hooks, MCP — is built on that foundation, which is why you can actually leave an Instar agent running and hand it real work.

- Instar's architecture was distilled from [**Dawn**](https://dawn.bot-me.ai)an AI running continuously since early 2026, holding ~700 tracked relationships and hundreds of learned lessons across thousands of restarts and packaged so every agent you build can start from the same foundation.
40
+ Most agent frameworks ship something hobbledspun up with no memory across boundaries, no way to be accountable for what a past instance did, and no machinery to grow themselves. Users hit the same wall every time: *"My agent forgot what I told it three sessions ago." "It contradicted its own past decisions." "It broke when the framework updated."*

42
+ Instar is the scaffolding that un-hobbles them. It remembers what you discussed last week, catches its own contradictions before you do, follows through on commitments across restarts, and carries the same self-improving loop that built Instar itself. It runs on the **[Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code)** or **[Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex)** subscription you already have — engine-agnostic, with local open-source models on the roadmap.

+ ## What Changed
7
+
8
+ **The user-facing pitch was rewritten around the pain users actually report.**
9
+
10
+ Instar has been converging on a clearer identity — coherence infrastructure
11
+ for self-evolving agents, engine-agnostic, fractal — but the forward-facing
12
+ copy still led with category language ("identity, memory, continuity") that
13
+ every other framework also claims. Research into what users actually complain
14
+ about with the popular agent frameworks today surfaced one universal word:
15
+ **amnesia**. They say their agent forgot what they told it three sessions ago,
16
+ contradicted its own past decisions, lost the thread when the window filled,
17
+ broke on the next framework update, shipped with ALLOW-ALL defaults.
18
+
19
+ The refresh leads with that pain in users' own words, then maps each pain to
20
+ the specific shipped Instar code that answers it — Coherence Gate, Migration
21
+ Parity Standard, CompactionSentinel, CommitmentTracker, layered safety gates,
22
+ cross-platform identity resolution, Evolution System.
23
+
24
+ Updated surfaces:
25
+
26
+ - **Landing page** (`instar.sh`): new hero h1 ("Coherence infrastructure for
27
+ your self-evolving agent"), amnesia-led subhead, NEW pain-vs-cure section
28
+ (8 rows, side-by-side, each cure annotated with the shipped class name),
29
+ thesis beat ("Most AI agents are hobbled at birth. Instar is the scaffolding
30
+ that un-hobbles them."), trust strip reframed around the four positioning
31
+ pillars (engine-agnostic, subscription-native, self-evolving).
32
+ - **README**: tagline and opening rewritten with pain-first framing plus the
33
+ same 8-row pain-vs-cure table.
34
+ - **Docs introduction** (`instar.sh/introduction`): leads with the pitch,
35
+ rewrites "The Problem" with user-language quotes.
36
+ - **`package.json` description**: now "Coherence infrastructure for
37
+ self-evolving AI agents — on the Claude Code or Codex subscription you
38
+ already have."
39
+
40
+ No runtime or API changes; no migrations needed.
41
+
42
+ ## What to Tell Your User
43
+
44
+ - **Positioning**: "Instar's pitch now leads with the pain users actually
45
+ complain about — agents that forget, contradict themselves, and break on
46
+ updates — and shows the specific architecture that answers each."
47
+
48
+ ## Summary of New Capabilities
49
+
50
+ No new capabilities — this is a copy refresh on `README.md`,
51
+ `site/src/pages/index.astro`, `site/src/content/docs/introduction.md`, and
52
+ `package.json`'s npm description.
53
+
54
+ ## Evidence
55
+
56
+ Built clean (`npx astro build` on the site → 48 pages, no errors). No code
57
+ behavior changed; surface diff verified row-by-row against current shipped
58
+ class names (CompactionSentinel, CommitmentTracker, PromiseBeacon, Migration
59
+ Parity Standard, Coherence Gate's 9 reviewers, cross-platform identity
60
+ resolution, Evolution System) so every cure mapped on the page corresponds to
61
+ real shipped code in `src/`.
