Bookie Agent Skill

A skill that teaches coding agents how to use the Bookie REST API. Once installed, you can ask Claude Code to find a bookmark, save a link, or retag your collection in plain English. It works with any agent that reads SKILL.md files.

The skill reads freely and asks before it writes, so it will always confirm with you before creating, updating, or deleting a bookmark.

1. Create an API key

Head to your API keys settings, create a key, and export it in your shell profile:

export BOOKIE_API_KEY="your-key-here"

Self-hosting Bookie? Also export BOOKIE_URL pointing at your own deployment.

2. Install the skill

Drop it into your personal skills directory:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/bookie
curl -fsSL https://bookie.edwardes.xyz/skill.md -o ~/.claude/skills/bookie/SKILL.md

To scope it to a single project instead, swap ~/.claude/skills for .claude/skills inside that repository.

3. Try it

Start a new agent session and ask for something like:

Save https://svelte.dev to Bookie tagged frontend.
What have I bookmarked about databases?
