@whittlelabs/sifter

The Whittle Sifter is a paired AI reviewer for Whittle Sift. It runs on your machine, executes review prompts against your own AI credentials (Claude Code, Anthropic API key, etc.), and submits the results back to Sift. Token spend stays on your account.

Install

@whittlelabs/sifter is published publicly to npmjs.com (released by sifter-release.yml on a version bump):

npm install -g @whittlelabs/sifter

Requires Node 20+.

Pair

Visit Sift's Settings → Pair a Sifter. Sift will display a pairing code and the command to run:

whittle-sifter init --pairing-code=ABCD-1234

The Sifter defaults to production (https://keep.whittlelabs.com). To pair against stage, test, or any other environment, pass --keep-url:

whittle-sifter init \
  --keep-url=https://keep.stage.whittlelabs.com \
  --pairing-code=ABCD-1234

Pairing writes credentials to ~/.sifter/config.json (mode 0600).

Run

whittle-sifter run

The Sifter subscribes to your job pool and waits for review jobs. Leave it running in a terminal or wrap it in your favorite process supervisor.
