# sift

LLM-oriented fetch and search for the Hermes fleet: fetch a resource and get it back cleaned,
compact, and with useful context attached — using local models (Dixie), SearXNG and Brave on
orion, and Honcho for retrieval.

Status: P0 skeleton (guard, `/healthz`, flake, NixOS module, Makefile). See [`docs/PLAN.md`](docs/PLAN.md).

## Build

Makefile is the source of truth for flags (`CGO_ENABLED=0`, `-trimpath`, `-s -w -X main.version=`).

```
make build          # bin/sift
make test           # go test -race ./...
make lint           # go vet, and staticcheck if installed
make install        # PREFIX=/usr/local; example config in /etc/sift/
nix build           # packages.sift, same ldflags
nix flake check     # make test lint
```

The service does not assume Nix store paths. Non-Nix hosts: `make install` plus `dist/sift.service`.
