What does the read skill do?
Preview a distilled wiki page from inside Claude Code. Prints title, summary, source count, and the local md path. Full body lives on disk — open with the user's editor. Invoked as `/read <title_or_id>`.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill read --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From davepoon/buildwithclaude, a repository with 3,251 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
