Review Read It Later

Maintain the queue note that tracks read-it-later items stored canonically in $LIFEWIKI_VAULT/_Sources/.

When to use

Use this skill when the user wants to:

• review unread or in-progress reading items
• mark a saved item as reading, done, or archived
• clean up the read-it-later queue without touching source-note content

Vault contract

• Queue note: $LIFEWIKI_VAULT/Read It Later.md
• Canonical article records live in $LIFEWIKI_VAULT/_Sources/
• Queue entries should link to _Sources notes rather than duplicating article content

Workflow

1. Open Read It Later.md.
2. Locate the relevant queue entry or list the current unread items.
3. Update the task state or move the entry to the appropriate section.
4. Preserve links to the canonical _Sources note.
5. If needed, update the source note metadata to reflect the new reading state.

Recommended queue structure

• ## Unread
• ## Reading
• ## Done
• ## Archived

Use task checkboxes only where they clarify status. Headings are the primary state boundary.

Failure handling

• If the queue note is missing, stop and report the expected path.
• If the linked source note is missing, report the broken reference before changing queue state.
• Do not delete source notes when marking queue items complete or archived.
