Claude Code skill recovers hidden Kindle highlights

A new Claude Code skill has been developed to recover hidden or truncated Kindle highlights that are subject to Amazon's undocumented export limits. This skill, available via the l3a0 namespace, automates the process of extracting all highlights from a user's Kindle notebook, including those normally inaccessible through standard export functions. It achieves this by leveraging AppleScript for browser control, the Mac Kindle app's database for precise highlight locations, and Apple's Vision framework for OCR, all running exclusively on macOS. AI

IMPACT Enables users to fully access their personal notes from Kindle, bypassing artificial export limitations.
