UUID alternative for the agentic era. AI agents pass IDs through prompts, tool calls, logs, traces, and memory. UUIDs are great for databases, but they are expensive in context windows and hard for humans or LLMs to copy reliably. id-agent gives you word-based IDs that are compact in modern tokenizers, readable in logs, and configurable by collision budget. Where UUIDs cost about 23 tokens and get hallucinated by LLMs, id-agent produces memorable word-based IDs at about 14 tokens with strong collision resistance. It is built for the context window, not just the database. - Human-readable -- word-based IDs that humans and LLMs can remember. - Token-efficient -- every word in the wordlist is exactly 1 BPE token on o200k base. - Collision-safe -- configurable entropy from about 12 to 192 bits. - Validated inputs -- descriptive validation on all public APIs. The Math Token Cost Comparison Format Example Tokens (o200k base) Collision Resistance -------- --------- --------------------- ---------------------- UUID v4 89b842d9-6df9-4cf4-8db0-9dc3aed3cfd7 about 23 122 bits id-agent (default, 8 words) urd-antes-sorry-pac-dire-total-expire-going about 14 about 96 bits id-agent (5 words) frame-beer-bell-tog-hoot about 8 about 60 bits id-agent - 8 words, 43 chars, 12 tokens UUID v4 - 36 chars, 26 tokens Entropy Each word is drawn uniformly from a curated 4096-word list (2^12).
