Candlekeep Cloud

CandleKeep Cloud - Claude Code Plugin

Give AI agents access to your CandleKeep Cloud document library. Research questions, get cited answers, and manage your library directly from Claude Code.

What This Plugin Does

• Research with citations: Ask questions and get answers sourced from your uploaded PDFs
• Intelligent document search: The AI identifies relevant documents and sections automatically
• Library management: List, add, and remove documents from your CandleKeep Cloud library
• Cross-reference: Synthesize information from multiple documents in a single query

Installation

Prerequisites

1. Install the CandleKeep CLI

Choose one installation method:

Homebrew (macOS/Linux) - Recommended:

brew tap CandleKeepAgents/candlekeep
brew install candlekeep-cli

Cargo:

cargo install candlekeep-cli

cargo-binstall (faster binary installation):

cargo binstall candlekeep-cli

2. Authenticate with CandleKeep Cloud

ck auth login

This opens your browser to sign in to CandleKeep Cloud and authorize the CLI.

Verify authentication:

ck auth whoami

Plugin Installation

1. Add the CandleKeep Marketplace

In Claude Code, run:

/plugin marketplace add CandleKeepAgents/candlekeep-marketplace

2. Install the Plugin

/plugin install candlekeep-cloud@candlekeep

Usage

Research Questions

Ask Claude Code questions about your documents:

• "What does my library say about machine learning?"
• "Research neural networks using my CandleKeep documents"
• "Find information about data structures in my PDFs"
• "Can you look up algorithms in my books?"

The AI will:

1. Search your library for relevant documents
2. Identify the most relevant sections using table of contents
3. Read specific pages with the information you need
4. Provide a cited answer with references to specific pages

Library Management

Manage your CandleKeep Cloud library:

• "What documents do I have in CandleKeep?"
• "List my library"
• "Add this PDF to my library" (provide file path)
• "Remove document X from my library"

Example Session

You: What do my books say about recursion?

Claude: I'll search your CandleKeep library for information about recursion.

[Launches item-reader agent]

Based on your documents, here's what I found about recursion:

**Sources Consulted:**
- *Introduction to Algorithms* by Cormen et al. - Chapter 4 covers divide-and-conquer
- *Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs* - Extensive coverage of recursive procedures

**Core Findings:**
Recursion is defined as "a method where the solution depends on solutions to smaller instances of the same problem" (*Introduction to Algorithms*, p. 65).

SICP emphasizes that recursive processes can be either linear or tree-shaped, noting that "the time required grows linearly with the input" for linear recursion (*SICP*, p. 35).

**Additional Insights:**
- Tail recursion optimization is covered in SICP pp. 36-38
- Master theorem for recursive running time analysis in Algorithms pp. 73-96
