Remarkable

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user wants to read
• Extract text from their reMarkable tablet

Example prompts

• “reMarkable”
• “tablet notes”
• “handwritten notes”
• “/remarkable”

Requirements

• Python 3
• A credential in REMARKABLE_TOKEN
• A credential in GOOGLE_VISION_API_KEY

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Use remarkable_browse or remarkable_search to find documents
2. 2Use remarkable_read to extract text content
3. 3Use remarkable_image to render visual pages
4. 4Use page parameter to paginate through multi-page documents

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2ad0e17. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Ships script files (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • REMARKABLE_TOKEN
  • GOOGLE_VISION_API_KEY

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Remarkable loads about 569 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 148 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~96

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~569

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
