Use Case
Instapaper is a powerful AI agent skill that extends your assistant with new capabilities. Use when operating the instapaper-cli (ip) tool or troubleshooting it: authenticating, listing/exporting/importing bookmarks, bulk mutations, folders/highlights/text, choosing output formats (ndjson/json/plain), cursor-based sync, and interpreting stderr-json/exit codes for automation.
