Read Quip

Use this skill to fetch a Quip document via the Quip API and extract readable plain text.

Requirements

A Quip API token must be available in the QUIP_API_TOKEN environment variable.

Usage

From this skill directory:

python3 scripts/quip_read.py 'https://example.quip.com/abc123Example'

Useful options:

python3 scripts/quip_read.py '<url-or-thread-id>' --output /tmp/quip.txt
python3 scripts/quip_read.py '<url-or-thread-id>' --html
python3 scripts/quip_read.py '<url-or-thread-id>' --json

Workflow

  1. Accept a Quip URL or thread/document id from the user.
  2. Load the Quip token from the environment.
  3. Call GET https://platform.quip.com/1/threads/{id} with Authorization: Bearer <token>.
  4. Extract thread.title and convert the returned html field to plain text unless HTML or JSON output is requested.
  5. Summarize or analyze the extracted content according to the user's request.

If authentication fails, ask the user to provide/export a valid Quip token with permission to read the document.
