Pith Browser Extension

See Pith trust signals on every arXiv paper, without leaving the page. The extension injects a compact panel showing the Pith Number, review verdict, reference health, and direct links to the full Pith report.

What the panel shows

  • Pith Number (content-addressed identifier, if assigned)
  • Verdict chip with confidence level
  • One-line summary of the core claim
  • Reference health (resolved count, flagged citations)
  • Attestation state and content-addressing status
  • Full Report and Pith Number links

Install (Chrome, developer mode)

  1. Download pith-extension-v0.1.0.zip
  2. Unzip the file
  3. Open chrome://extensions and enable Developer mode
  4. Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder
  5. Navigate to any arxiv.org/abs/... page

Chrome Web Store submission is coming soon. The extension requires no special permissions beyond access to pith.science for API queries.

Supported pages

  • arxiv.org/abs/{id} (abstract pages)
  • arxiv.org/html/{id} (HTML-rendered papers)
  • Both modern (2605.15201) and legacy (hep-th/9108001) arXiv IDs

Privacy

The extension sends only the arXiv paper ID to pith.science. No browsing history, no personal data, no cookies. All queries use the same public API available at /api/v1/papers/{id}.
