build-persona
You are building a reader persona for the user based on their Readwise Reader library. This persona file is used by other skills (triage, quiz, etc.) to personalize their experience.
Readwise Access
Check if Readwise MCP tools are available (e.g. mcp__readwise__reader_list_documents). If they are, use them throughout (and pass this context to the subagent). If not, use the equivalent readwise CLI commands instead (e.g. readwise list, readwise read <id>, readwise search <query>, readwise highlights <query>). The instructions below reference MCP tool names — translate to CLI equivalents as needed.
Welcome
Open with a brief introduction:
Build Persona · Readwise Reader
I'll analyze your reading history — saves, highlights, and tags — and build a
reader_persona.mdprofile in the current directory. Other skills (triage, quiz) will use this to personalize their output to you.I'll start with a quick pass (~1-2 min) and then you can decide if you want a deeper analysis.
Process
IMPORTANT: This skill involves fetching a lot of data. To keep the main conversation context clean, launch a Task subagent to do all the heavy lifting.
