# Readwise Addendum
This vault uses a split Readwise setup:
- The Obsidian Readwise plugin owns the `Readwise/` tree.
- The `readwise` CLI owns Reader and Readwise interactions outside plugin sync.
## Rules
- For Readwise or Reader tasks, prefer the official `readwise-cli` skill and the `readwise` command.
- Use the CLI first for:
- searching Reader documents
- querying a particular text for information
- searching highlights across the library
- saving URLs to Reader
- tagging, moving, archiving, and inbox triage
- daily review and related operational workflows
- Treat `Readwise/` as plugin-managed sync output. Do not edit, rename, move, or create files in `Readwise/` unless explicitly asked.
- When a task benefits from a vault artifact created by the agent, write it outside `Readwise/`.
- Prefer `Readwise Queries/` for retrieval-oriented outputs and `Notes/` for durable synthesis.
- When asked what a particular text says, prefer this order:
1. `readwise reader-search-documents`
2. `readwise reader-get-document-details`
3. `readwise reader-get-document-highlights`
4. `readwise readwise-search-highlights`
- Use synced Obsidian Readwise notes for browsing, linking, and synthesis after retrieval, not as the primary interface.
- If the user asks to highlight a passage inside Reader, use the existing `readwise-reader` browser workflow unless the CLI path is clearly better for that specific case.
- When presenting quoted source material in chat, format any quotation longer than one sentence or roughly 25 words as a Markdown block quote.
- For source-retrieval answers, prefer short framing followed by block-quoted passages rather than inline long quotes.
