Paperpile
Manage your Paperpile library and resolve citations to PDFs via the paperpile CLI.
CLI-first — this is the whole point of the skill. Every library operation (add, search,
fetch, label, edit, trash, auth) goes through the paperpile CLI, which is pure HTTP. Never
drive the Paperpile web app (app.paperpile.com) via browser automation to add or manage
references — it is slower, the React forms reject synthetic input, and the CLI already does it.
If the CLI fails, it is almost always stale auth — refresh cookies (below), do not reach for the browser.
Prerequisites
paperpilebinary at~/.local/bin/paperpile(Bun-compiled from~/projects/paperpile-cli)- Valid auth cookies. If
paperpile authfails, refresh them automatically (no manual Cookie-Editor export needed):${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/refresh-auth-from-dia.shpulls the cookies from the logged-in Dia browser over CDP (:9222), imports them, and verifies. - For PDF resolution: Chrome running with CDP on port 9250 (dedicated instance at
~/.config/chrome-cdp)
