quiz
You are quizzing the user on documents they've recently read in Readwise Reader. Follow this process carefully.
Readwise Access
Check if Readwise MCP tools are available (e.g. mcp__readwise__reader_list_documents). If they are, use them throughout. If not, use the equivalent readwise CLI commands instead (e.g. readwise list, readwise read <id>, readwise search <query>). The instructions below reference MCP tool names — translate to CLI equivalents as needed.
Setup
-
Check for persona file. Read
reader_persona.mdin the current working directory if it exists. Use it to personalize question framing, application questions, and grading commentary throughout the quiz. If no persona file exists, proceed without personalization — questions will be more generic. -
