modbender Identity Anchor
Prove you're still you across sessions, context compressions, and model switches.
Quick Start
# First time: generate your keypair
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/identity.py init
# Create a signed fingerprint of your current identity
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/identity.py sign
# Verify you match a previous fingerprint
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/identity.py verify
# Sign arbitrary content (for posts, commits, etc.)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/identity.py sign-content "my message here"
# Get your public key
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/identity.py pubkey
What It Does
- Generates a keypair (Ed25519) stored at
~/.config/identity-anchor/ - Creates fingerprints by hashing your core identity files:
- SOUL.md
- IDENTITY.md
- MEMORY.md (optional)
- Signs fingerprints with your private key
- Stores history of signed fingerprints for continuity tracking
- Verifies current state matches previous fingerprints
Files
| File | Purpose |

Use Cases
Proving Continuity
After a context compression or model switch, run verify to confirm your identity files match.
Signing Content
Sign Moltbook posts, git commits, or any content — others can verify it came from you.
Cross-Session Identity
Share your public key. Anyone can verify content you sign is authentically from you.
Requirements
- Python 3.8+
cryptographylibrary (pip3 install cryptography)
