Individual skill
book-to-skill
Converts books, documentation folders, and source collections (PDF, EPUB, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, RST, AsciiDoc, RTF, MOBI/AZW) into structured agent skills — extracting named frameworks, principles, techniques, and anti-patterns into a master SKILL.md plus on-demand chapter files, a glossary, a patterns file, and a decision cheatsheet. Use when the user wants to study a document with an agent, apply an author's frameworks while working, turn internal docs or standards into a reusable knowledge base, or package a compiled book skill as a claude-skills plugin.

# Book-to-Skill Converter
Turn written knowledge into an agent skill by extracting **structure**, not summaries.
A book is crystallized expertise: frameworks, principles, techniques that took years to
develop. Read once, forgotten. The workarounds all fail — PDF search returns page numbers
instead of answers, an agent handed the raw file hallucinates or drowns, reading notes rot.
This skill compiles a source into a knowledge base the agent loads on demand: a small
resident core, one chapter file at a time, and never the whole book again.
**What it produces:**
