A Claude Code skill that recovers export-blocked Kindle highlights
A developer has created a Claude Code plugin that bypasses Amazon's export limits on Kindle highlights. The tool extracts truncated or hidden highlights by syncing with the Mac Kindle app and the Cloud Reader to provide a complete, verbatim record.
Why it matters
This highlights a growing trend of users building custom AI-driven tools to reclaim data ownership from restrictive platform ecosystems.
A personal collection of Claude Code skills, published as a single plugin under the l3a0 namespace. This repo is both the plugin and its own marketplace.
I write about how these tools get built — and about technology, business, and finance — at baowebdev.substack.com .
claude plugin marketplace add l3a0/claude-plugins claude plugin install l3a0@l3a0 Skills are invoked as /l3a0:<skill-name> (the bare /<skill-name> also works while no other installed command claims the name), and Claude auto-invokes them when a request matches a skill's description.
kindle-highlights Export a heavily-highlighted book from Amazon's notebook page and some highlights come back cut off mid-sentence, while others come back as a bare location number with no text at all, under this notice:
"Some highlights have been hidden or truncated due to export limits."
