Journey fit
Builders validate ideas and gather evidence from reading before they commit to a build; Readwise is where that captured knowledge lives. Research is the canonical shelf because the plugin centers on syncing highlights, managing Reader documents, and automating intake from your reading stack.

Readwise API plugin marketplace, not a generic note app skill or an MCP catalog for devtools only.
