Clio Wiki

Clio is a Chrome extension that extracts your Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT conversations to local JSON. This wiki frames the design choices behind it: why a small extension is also a governance and safety artifact, and what each architectural constraint encodes.

Reading order

1. User Data Sovereignty — the framing: returning conversations to the user as a data-portability act
2. Privacy Architecture — the technical commitments that make "strict-local" load-bearing
3. Threat Model — what Clio defends against, and what it does not
4. Defense in Depth — how the manifest enforces the threat model
5. Provenance and Auditability — why full DOM extraction is a governance feature
6. Connection to sentinel-rfc — agent-context permission bits as the broader research program
7. Known Limitations — honest boundaries

Authoritative documents

The wiki is interpretive — for the binding, version-controlled statements, see:

• README.md
• PRIVACY.md
• SECURITY.md
• CONTRIBUTING.md
• extensions/manifest.json — the ground-truth permission declaration

If any wiki page conflicts with one of those, the document wins.
