Q: How do I install triage in Claude?

Run `npx skills add readwiseio/readwise-skills --skill triage -a claude-code`. The skill lands in `~/.claude/skills/triage/SKILL.md`.

Q: What does triage need to work?

Readwise MCP tools or the `readwise` CLI. For personalised pitches, put `reader_persona.md` in the current working directory.

The skill walks you through recent Readwise Reader saves one at a time and argues each case for and against reading. Handy when the inbox has piled up and you don't know where to start.

What triage does

The skill reads your Readwise Reader inbox, pulls the latest saves and presents them one by one so you can decide what happens to each: read, defer or archive. Documents arrive newest first, 10 per batch, and the skill fetches the next batch when you run out.

Each document gets a card with title, author, site, category and reading time, followed by a short narrative of what the piece covers and two judgements: why read it, why skip it. Then four options — open in Reader, move to Later, archive, or something else such as tagging or shortlisting. Replies like "read it" or "skip" are understood, and the skill moves the document itself.

Access comes through Readwise MCP tools or the readwise CLI, so you need one of the two in place. Personalisation is read from reader_persona.md in the current working directory; without that file the pitches stay generic and the skill suggests running build-persona first.

What it helps with

clear a backlog in the Readwise Reader inbox one document at a time
decide which recent saves are worth reading now
archive or defer a document without leaving the agent chat
get an honest case for and against reading an article
tidy up tags and shortlist while triaging

Example prompts for the agent

triage my Reader inbox
show me the next save and tell me whether it's worth reading
tell me more about this document
