Sync Bookmarks

Check bookmarks for dead links, remove duplicates, organize by topic.

1. Export Bookmarks

Using your browser skill or file system, get bookmarks from the default browser:

• Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or other installed browser
• All bookmarks including folders

2. Check for Dead Links

Test each bookmark URL:

• 200 — Alive, working
• 301/302 — Redirect (update the URL)
• 404 — Dead (flag for removal)
• Timeout — May be temporarily down (flag for review)

Rate limit checks to avoid being blocked (1 request per second).

3. Find Duplicates

Check for:

• Identical URLs
• URLs that differ only by trailing slash
• Same URL with different protocols (http vs https)
• Same domain + path with different query parameters

4. Organize by Topic

Suggest folder organization based on bookmark content:

• Dev/Programming — GitHub, Stack Overflow, documentation
• News/Reading — News sites, blogs, articles
• Tools/Apps — Web apps, SaaS tools
• Reference — Wikipedia, docs, tutorials
• Shopping — Retail sites
• Social — Social media links
• Misc — Everything else

5. Present Findings
