Paperpile

What this skill carries — grep references/ for any subject the names below miss: !d=${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}; command -v skill-toc >/dev/null 2>&1 && exec skill-toc "$d"; s=$HOME/.claude/skills/plugin-utils/bin/skill-toc; [ -x "$s" ] && exec "$s" "$d"; echo "(skill-toc unavailable: references and scripts are NOT listed here — install the plugin-utils plugin, or start a new session so its bin/ reaches PATH)"

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.
