Detailed description

Clip to Tesserae sends the page you're reading straight into your local Tesserae context engine.

Tesserae (https://github.com/ca1773130n/Tesserae) keeps a self-improving, typed knowledge graph of your project and compiles agent-ready context on demand. This extension lets you feed that graph from the browser:

• One click (or Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+S) captures the page's main readable content — not the nav, ads, or footers — and converts it to clean Markdown. • Highlight text first to clip just the selection. • Add an optional note and tags before saving. • An optional TL;DR is generated locally and stored with the clip.

Everything stays on your machine. The clip is POSTed to a Tesserae server you run locally (default http://localhost:8765) via tesserae serve. The extension talks ONLY to localhost — it never sends your data to any remote or third-party server.

Requires a local Tesserae install with tesserae serve running. See the project README for setup.

Single purpose (required)

Capture the current web page's readable content (or the user's text selection) and send it to the user's own locally-running Tesserae server for ingestion into their knowledge graph.

Permission justifications (required)

• activeTab: Read the content of the current tab only when the user explicitly clicks the toolbar button, the context-menu item, or the keyboard shortcut.
• scripting: Inject the readable-content extractor into the active tab on that explicit user action.
• storage: Persist user settings (local server URL, default tags, default TL;DR toggle) via chrome.storage.sync.
• contextMenus: Provide the right-click "Clip to Tesserae" action.
• notifications: Show whether a clip succeeded or failed.
• host_permissions http://localhost/* and http://127.0.0.1/*: POST the clip to the user's own local Tesserae server. No other hosts are requested.
• Remote code: none. All scripts are bundled in the package; nothing is fetched or eval'd at runtime.

Remote code use (Privacy practices tab)

Answer: No — "I am not using remote code." All scripts are packaged in the extension; nothing is fetched or evaluated from a remote source at runtime. The extension's network calls send clip data to the user's local server, not code.

Certification (required to publish)

Tick all three (they are true for this extension):

• I do not sell or transfer user data to third parties outside the approved use cases.
• I do not use or transfer user data for purposes unrelated to the item's single purpose.
• I do not use or transfer user data to determine creditworthiness or for lending.

Data collected: Website content (the page text the user explicitly clips). It is sent only to the user's own local server, never to the developer or any third party.

Data usage disclosures (Privacy practices tab)

• Does this item collect/use personal data? It reads the content of pages the user explicitly chooses to clip and sends it only to the user's own local server. No data is transmitted to the developer or any third party.
• Sold to third parties: No.
• Used/transferred for purposes unrelated to core functionality: No.
• Used/transferred to determine creditworthiness / lending: No.
