Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00473 | $0.00473 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00236 | $0.00236 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00095 | $0.00095 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00047 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
SiftMarks AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SiftMarks Agent Notes
Project Shape
SiftMarks is a local-first TypeScript monorepo for turning browser bookmarks into searchable AI memory.
packages/shared: shared types and utility functions.packages/db: SQLite schema and data access throughbetter-sqlite3.packages/core: bookmark import, parsing, search, duplicate detection, rescue suggestions, and browser bookmark detection.packages/ai: mock, OpenAI-compatible, and Ollama-compatible AI providers.packages/indexer: FTS indexing, summaries, tags, and embeddings.apps/cli:siftmarkscommand-line interface.apps/mcp-server: MCP stdio server for AI clients.apps/web: Next.js local dashboard and API routes.apps/chrome-extension: Chrome extension that talks to the local web API on port4399.
Commands
- Install:
npm install - Build non-web packages, CLI, and MCP server:
npm run build:packages - Build everything:
npm run build - Run the web dashboard:
npm run dev - Run the CLI after building:
node apps/cli/dist/index.js - Typecheck:
npm run typecheck
Use SIFTMARKS_HOME=/tmp/siftmarks-test for smoke tests that should not touch the user's real ~/.siftmarks database.
Current Caveats
- The web app has its own rules in
apps/web/AGENTS.md; read that file before editing anything underapps/web. - The root
typecheckcommand can surface web/Next configuration issues. Do not assume package-level builds prove the web app is production-buildable. - The Chrome extension assumes the web app is running at
http://localhost:4399. - AI calls must stay disabled unless a provider is explicitly configured; mock mode is the default.
Working Rules
- Do not perform git actions unless the user explicitly asks.
- Keep changes scoped to the requested area.
- Prefer existing package boundaries over adding new cross-package shortcuts.
- Treat local bookmark databases and browser profile files as user data; use temporary data directories for tests when possible.
- When changing data writes, preserve the local-first behavior and avoid silent external network calls.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

SiftMarks AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Lling0000/SiftMarks (24 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 473 tokens to every session, about $0.0024 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
