Describe the feature you'd like

the AI tag suggestion is nice, but I am wondering if I can modify the prompt for tag generation to do things like

eliminate underscores/punctuation from the suggested tags
look at the existing tag list and if similar tags are found, use them instead of creating new ones
if a human/custom tag is very similar to the AI tag, use that tag instead of creating a new one

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

This feature would go a long way to reducing the "noise" in the AI generated tag list, although I am not sure if the prompt is able to tell the AI what tags are already in use and their count (and perhaps the website for the bookmark as well, which would go a long way to consolidating tags).

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

I see that custom prompts are available but I'm not sure quite how to use them and am a little gun shy of mis-prompting and causing a real mess in the tag editor. If there were a sandbox mode to test before going live, or to perhaps mark a tag as "testing" then it'd be easier to clean up any potential mess as well.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

Last days I have posted a comment about this topic https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/discussions/843#discussioncomment-13080110
With an example how you can use it. Feel free to discuss with us over-there ;-)

I think this is a good idea. IMHO AI tagging is currently defeating the value of tags because it doesn't reuse any existing tags.

For example, I can save one page and get tags for "stock market", "investing"
And another page gives me tags of "stocks", "investments"
-> 4 different tags that are basically the same thing

I tried the method that @Eragos has suggested but it doesn't seem to work. I think you also need to pass the ai a list of existing tags so it knows which ones to use.

It would also be nice to be able to rework the default prompt. For example:

Aim for a variety of tags, including broad categories, specific keywords, and potential sub-genres

This might not work towards some people's goals of minimizing the numbers of tags.
