# Jieli Read

## Environment

Resolve `../../scripts/jieli_helper.mjs` relative to this `SKILL.md` file and run it directly for thread reads:

```bash
node <resolved-skill-dir>/../../scripts/jieli_helper.mjs read-thread ...
```

Do not depend on plugin `bin/` commands being on `PATH`; Codex app shells may not include the plugin `bin/` directory. Do not call plugin scripts by cache path, enumerate installed helpers, or choose wrapper files in this skill.

If the API key is missing, ask the user to configure `JIELI_API_KEY` or `~/.config/jieli/settings.json`. Jieli uses `https://jieli.app` by default.

## Read Procedure

1. Resolve the provider thread id from the URL or raw id, stripping `/threads/`, full URLs, and trailing `.md` or `.json`.
2. Start with a bounded markdown read:

```bash
node <resolved-skill-dir>/../../scripts/jieli_helper.mjs read-thread "<thread_id>" --truncate-tool-results --max-chars 20000
```

3. For missing details, use focused 1-based inclusive line ranges:

```bash
node <resolved-skill-dir>/../../scripts/jieli_helper.mjs read-thread "<thread_id>" --truncate-tool-results --start-line 120 --end-line 220 --max-chars 20000
```

4. Answer the user's question first. Do not paste the full transcript unless explicitly requested.
5. If full tool outputs or structured fields are needed, rerun a focused range without `--truncate-tool-results` or with `--format json`.
6. If the helper fails, report the non-secret error message.

## Output

Return a concise summary with the thread title/id, key goals or decisions, relevant files/commands/verification, and open follow-ups. Redact secrets.
