see when your AI is confabulating.

a browser extension that renders a cognometric readout next to every response from chatgpt, claude, gemini, and grok. seven fault kinds. three axes. runs entirely in your browser — your chats never leave your machine.

a small badge. every response. zero friction.

local-first. text-only. honest.

your chats never leave your browser. the classifier runs entirely locally in classifier.js. the extension has no analytics, no backend, no network calls. you can read all 300 lines of it on github.

what it does NOT do: this is the Tier 3 pipeline from the Cognometric Fingerprint Specification v1.0 — text-only features, no logprobs. accuracy is substantially lower than the logprob-based Tier 1/2 pipelines. a confidence_penalty of 0.25 is applied to aggregate trust values.

for production-grade cognitive profiling, run the full styxx.profile Python pipeline via pip install -U styxx. see fathom.darkflobi.com/profile.
