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

1. Generates a keypair (Ed25519) stored at ~/.config/identity-anchor/
2. Creates fingerprints by hashing your core identity files:
   • SOUL.md
   • IDENTITY.md
   • MEMORY.md (optional)
3. Signs fingerprints with your private key
4. Stores history of signed fingerprints for continuity tracking
5. Verifies current state matches previous fingerprints

Files

File	Purpose
~/.config/identity-anchor/private.key	Ed25519 private key (NEVER share)
~/.config/identity-anchor/public.key	Public key (safe to share)
~/.config/identity-anchor/fingerprints.jsonl	History of signed fingerprints

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+
• cryptography library (pip3 install cryptography)

Command	Description
init	Generate new keypair (once)
