Show HN: Id-agent – Token efficient UUID alternative for AI agents
id-agent is a token-efficient UUID alternative tailored for AI agents, generating human-readable word-based IDs that use ~14 tokens (compared to ~23 for UUIDs) while maintaining equivalent collision resistance. It offers features like random and deterministic ID generation, validation, parsing, alias mapping for token reduction in LLM contexts, and uses a curated 4096-word list (each a single BPE token on o200k_base) alongside cryptographic randomness and Zod schema input validation.
