The 7 AI Skills Every Software Developer Should Have Installed in 2026
After testing dozens of developer-focused AI skills, these are the seven that have proven genuinely useful across different tech stacks and workflows β not just impressive demos, but tools that hold up under daily use.
Readwise & Reader API extends your AI assistant with the ability to manage Readwise highlights, books, daily review, and Reader documents (save-for-later / read-it-later). Use when the user wants to save articles or URLs to Reader, browse their reading list, search saved documents, review highlights, create or manage highlights and notes, check their daily review, list books/sources, or interact with Readwise/Reader in any way. Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly β and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using Readwise & Reader API as its underlying capability.
Readwise & Reader API works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) β an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install Readwise & Reader API once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.
To install Readwise & Reader API, copy the skill folder to `~/.claude/skills/readwise-api/` for use across all your projects, or `.claude/skills/readwise-api/` for a single project. Restart Claude and the skill is immediately active β invoke it with `/readwise-api` or just describe your goal and the AI will pick it up automatically.
Readwise & Reader API has been installed 1,750 times, making it one of the more actively used skills in the Documents & Notes category. The install rate suggests it solves a real, recurring need rather than a niche edge case. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
Place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/readwise-api/ for personal use (all projects), or .claude/skills/readwise-api/ for project-specific use. Restart your AI client, then invoke with /readwise-api or let the AI discover it automatically.
Readwise & Reader API supports Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw. It integrates seamlessly with these AI platforms to extend their capabilities.
Readwise & Reader API is free to install. Check the repository for licensing information.
