Activity taxonomy
The Made / Did / filtered classification for every record type Sifa indexes. Live data from sifa-sdk.
The activity taxonomy sorts every AT Protocol record type that Sifa knows into one of three tiers. The tier decides whether a record shows on a profile, and how. This page renders the live data from @singi-labs/sifa-sdk@<SdkVersion inline />.
Tiers
Substantive records the actor authored: posts, articles, repos, galleries, livestreams, RSVPs, CV entries. Surfaced on the public profile and in the network timeline.
| Lexicon | App | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| app.atmobb.discussion.reply | atmobb | Replies are authored text, consistent with app.bsky.feed.post covering replies. |
| app.atmobb.discussion.thread | atmobb | |
| app.beaconbits.beacon | beaconbits | |
| app.bsky.feed.post | bluesky | Ambiguous: many posts are casual, but the lexicon also carries long-form posts and threads. Treated as creation; empty quote-posts (no text + record embed) are filtered at the consumer layer, not here. |
| app.bsky.graph.verification | bluesky | Diverges from app.bsky.graph.follow (action) on purpose: verifying another account's handle is a deliberate trust statement the actor authors, not a tap. Sifa renders it with its own card. |
| app.collectivesocial.feed.list | collectivesocial | Auto-created default Inbox lists are filtered at the consumer layer via isDefault=true predicate. |
| app.mcp.server | mcp | |
| app.sidetrail.trail | semble | |
| app.sidetrail.walk | semble | |
| app.userinput.discussion | userinput | |
| app.userinput.reply | userinput | Replies are authored text, consistent with app.bsky.feed.post covering replies. |
| at.margin.annotation | margin | An annotation on someone else's text is still authored writing. |
| at.margin.note | margin | |
| at.marque.domain | marque | |
| at.youandme.connection | youandme | |
| blue.flashes.feed.post | flashes | |
| buzz.bookhive.book | bookhive | |
| com.minomobi.music.composition | minomobi | |
| com.voxport.podcast.series | voxport | |
| com.whtwnd.blog.entry | whitewind | |
| community.lexicon.badge.award | badges | The award record is authored by the giver, so it is their attestation about someone else. |
| community.lexicon.calendar.rsvp | smokesignal | Ambiguous: RSVPs are reactions to events, but they are public commitments and the only Smoke Signal record Sifa scans today. Classified as creation. |
| community.nooki.comments | nooki | Comments are authored text. |
| community.nooki.membership | nooki | Joining a community, classified like social.colibri.membership (creation). |
| community.opensocial.membership | opensocial | Joining a community, classified like social.colibri.membership (creation). |
| computer.aetheros.page | aetheros | |
| dev.atvouch.graph.vouch | atvouch | Vouching for someone. Authored attestation, same reasoning as fund.at.graph.endorse. |
| dev.baileytownsend.guestbook.entry | guestbook | Signing someone else's guestbook is a short authored message. |
| dev.keytrace.claim | keytrace | |
| exchange.recipe.recipe | recipe | |
| fm.plyr.comment | plyr | Comments are authored text. |

A third tier (filtered) covers configuration records, moderation records, and other infrastructure that we hide from every Sifa surface.
Types
The exported shapes consumers can rely on. Re-exported from examples/sdk-types.ts so any rename in the SDK fails CI before this page can ship stale.
ActivityTier
type ActivityTier = 'creation' | 'action' | 'filtered'A single union of the three classifications. Use this as the parameter type for functions that take a tier name.
TierMeta
interface TierMeta {
/** Human-readable label, e.g. "Made". Null on the filtered tier. */
label: string | null
/** Sentence-length description of what the tier covers. */
description: string
/** True if records in this tier surface on the public profile. */
shownOnPublicProfile: boolean
}LexiconEntry
interface LexiconEntry {
/** Which tier this record type falls into. */
tier: ActivityTier
/** Originating app slug, e.g. "bluesky", "tangled". Optional for community lexicons. */
app?: string
/** Free-text caveats or rationale notes. Optional. */
notes?: string
}ActivityTaxonomy
interface ActivityTaxonomy {
/** Semantic version of the taxonomy. */
version: string
/** ISO date of the last update, e.g. "2026-05-28". */
updated: string
/** Tier-level metadata, keyed by tier name. */
tiers: Record<ActivityTier, TierMeta>
/** All known record types, keyed by AT Protocol NSID. */
lexicons: Record<string, LexiconEntry>
}Functions
The SDK exports a handful of pure helpers around the taxonomy. None touch the network.
| Function | Signature | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
getActivityTier | (nsid: string) => ActivityTier | Look up the tier for a given NSID. Returns 'filtered' for unknown NSIDs (safe default). |
getLexiconEntry | (nsid: string) => LexiconEntry | null | Get the full entry (tier + app + notes), or null if unknown. |
getTierMeta | (tier: ActivityTier) => TierMeta | Get tier metadata (label, description, public visibility). |
getActivityTaxonomyVersion | () => { version: string; updated: string } | Diagnostics for version-skew detection. |
The full taxonomy is also exposed as the readonly export ACTIVITY_TIERS.
