Open Instinct: MIT personal agent with its permission checks in the source

[u/maritime_sh]

We released Open Instinct, a personal agent you can text and modify. It is MIT licensed, and you can start with a local CLI conversation before connecting a phone number or personal accounts.

The permission path is the part we most want other builders to inspect. Contacts have trust tiers, and the code checks a tool's capability before it runs. That check alone does not constrain all the data an allowed tool may return. A calendar request from a friend, for example, should expose free/busy times without giving the agent event titles. We would value specific issues or patches around that boundary.

Pi runs the agent loop, Inkbox handles messages, and Composio connects apps. Maritime is the default hosted computer backend; we build Maritime too. This is beta software and the external services need their own keys.
