dsh-agent-identity

Multi-turn conversations driven by LLM agents often face a fundamental problem: every new session starts from scratch, and users are forced to repeatedly describe who the agent is and how it should address them. dsh-agent-identity solves this by acting as the first phase of the Claw persona governance suite. It automatically injects the core persona files (SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md) from the DSclaw directory into the system prompt, so the agent carries its established identity and behavioral boundaries in every turn.

The plugin is deliberately restrained in scope. It writes file contents into the prompt and does not intercept tool calls or alter the agent execution path. BOOTSTRAP.md is injected only while the initial self-introduction exchange is incomplete, and the agent removes it once done. Long-term memory files such as USER.md and MEMORY.md are handled by the dsh-agent-memory plugin at session open, keeping responsibilities cleanly separated. All core files can be read and edited directly from the Settings panel under the Core tab, without opening an external editor.

This plugin is well suited for developers building multi-turn agents in the dsh ecosystem who want persona definitions managed as version-controlled files. Removing the plugin leaves all files intact on disk, so re-enabling is instant and migration cost is negligible.
