How does the skill handle API rate limits?

The skill includes a built-in CLI that respects Reader's rate limits (20 requests per minute) by surfacing the remaining budget and throttling requests accordingly.

How do I authenticate the Readwise Reader skill?

You must generate an access token from the Readwise website and store it in the READWISE_TOKEN environment variable for the skill to access your account.

Can Claude summarize YouTube videos using this skill?

Yes, when fetching a video document with the `--with-content` flag, the skill retrieves the auto-generated transcript which Claude can then analyze or summarize.

Does this skill support uploading local PDF or EPUB files?

The Readwise API v3 currently prioritizes URL-based creation. For local files, it is recommended to provide a shareable URL as direct local file uploading is not supported by the current API endpoint.
