@DanKornas highlighted JKHeadley/instar, an open-source framework that pairs real Claude Code processes with persistent SQLite memory, cron jobs, and messaging so agents keep working across sessions. Features include SQLite/FTS5/rolling summaries with context re-injection, priority- and quota-aware scheduled work, Telegram/WhatsApp/iMessage, per-session tools/hooks/skills/MCP, plus behavioral hooks and external-operation gates. MIT.

Key Takeaways

  • ✓Real Claude Code processes plus SQLite memory so work survives across sessions.
  • ✓Cron with priority/quota awareness; Telegram/WhatsApp/iMessage outside the terminal.
  • ✓Per-session skills/MCP with safety gates; MIT open source.
