- description
- Monitor agent identity drift using git history. Detects when AI agents quietly modify their own SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, AGENTS.md, or memory files — autonomy expansion, constraint softening, or self-modification. Read-only, safe to run anytime. Use when you want to audit agent identity changes, verify no unauthorized modifications have occurred, or run a weekly hygiene check on your agent stack.

Agent Identity Drift Monitor for OpenClaw workspaces
Uses your workspace's existing git history to track changes to agent identity files. For each change it classifies severity, optionally runs LLM semantic analysis, and outputs a human-readable markdown report.
