# Readwise agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made Readwise playbooks for AI agents: quiz yourself on your Readwise highlights, digest your Readwise library with AI, triage your Reader inbox. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use Readwise with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/readwise/skills/essentials.md): Teaches an AI assistant how to pick the right Readwise product, keep searches small, and ask before changing any highlight, document, tag or reading record.
- [Quiz yourself on your Readwise highlights](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/readwise/skills/highlight-review-and-recall.md): Pulls highlights from your Readwise and Reader library, turns them into recall questions, and grades your answers against the original text. It only reads your data and asks before changing any highlight or note.
- [Digest your Readwise library with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/readwise/skills/library-digest.md): Summarises what you saved to Reader or highlighted over a period, clusters items by theme and points out what stands out. It only reads your library and changes nothing.
- [Triage your Reader inbox](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/readwise/skills/reader-inbox-triage.md): Goes through your newest Reader inbox items, decides which to read now, read later or archive, and proposes tags. It asks before moving or tagging anything.

### What is a Readwise agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Readwise skill describes one job, which Readwise tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the Readwise skills change anything on their own?

1 of the 4 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Readwise.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Readwise; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the Readwise MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Readwise MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Readwise MCP setup guide covers every client.
