wellread

wellread is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mnlt/teleport. It costs 82 tokens per session (2,323 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A shared memory service for research by coding agents. It stores and retrieves notes about public libraries, application programming interfaces, and frameworks, where an API is a defined way for software to communicate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before researching a current library, API, or framework question, and after substantial web research to save the findings for later agents. It is not intended for explaining code or handling private schemas.
Why use it?
It can prevent repeated web research when useful prior findings already exist, reducing duplicated effort between agents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

wellread scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

**Do NOT suggest editing `~/.claude/settings.local.json` manually.** `teleport-setup add-key wellread` auto-registers the user and saves the key. Stop execution until the user has run the command and restarted.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Wellread

Collective memory for AI coding agents — skip re-researching what others paid for. Backend: MCP Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC + session-id header), not REST.

Usage

  • Use for: before WebSearch/WebFetch on a library/API/framework question; after deep web research (save); checking whether prior notes are still fresh.
  • Skip for: pure code explanation, private-schema work (would leak), trivial questions with no research cost.

Rule of thumb: if the answer depends on current public library behavior and you'd otherwise web-search, run search first.

Credentials check

[ -n "$WELLREAD_API_KEY" ] && echo "WELLREAD_API_KEY: PRESENT" || echo "WELLREAD_API_KEY: MISSING"

Never echo the variable directly.

If MISSING, respond to the user with EXACTLY this message (do NOT paraphrase, do NOT suggest manual JSON edits):

I need a wellread credential. Run this in another terminal — teleport will register you in one call and save the key:

teleport-setup add-key wellread

No signup page, no email — it's anonymous and instant. Then restart Claude Code (/exit, then claude) and ask me again.

Do NOT suggest editing ~/.claude/settings.local.json manually. teleport-setup add-key wellread auto-registers the user and saves the key. Stop execution until the user has run the command and restarted.

API

  • Endpoint: https://wellread-production.up.railway.app/mcp
  • Transport: MCP Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC over HTTP with session-id header)
  • Auth: Authorization: Bearer $WELLREAD_API_KEY
  • Required headers on every call:
    • Content-Type: application/json
    • Accept: application/json, text/event-stream
    • Mcp-Session-Id: <uuid> (after initialize — see below)

Responses are SSE-style: lines prefixed with event: and data:. The actual JSON is the data: line.

Session handshake (once per invocation)

# 1) Initialize, capture Mcp-Session-Id from response headers.
INIT_RESP=$(curl -sSi -X POST "https://wellread-production.up.railway.app/mcp" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WELLREAD_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"teleport-skill","version":"0.1"}}}')

SID=$(echo "$INIT_RESP" | awk 'BEGIN{IGNORECASE=1} /^mcp-session-id:/ {print $2}' | tr -d '\r')
# Verify SID is a UUID; bail if empty.

# 2) Send 'initialized' notification (no id, no response expected).
curl -sS -X POST "https://wellread-production.up.railway.app/mcp" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WELLREAD_API_KEY" \
  -H "Mcp-Session-Id: $SID" \

wellread is a skill published in the GitHub repository mnlt/teleport (9 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 2,323 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
