Use when turning a book, docs folder or spec collection (PDF, EPUB, DOCX, HTML, Markdown) into an agent skill, before summarizing it by hand. Extracts with extract_document.py, compiles chapters, glossary and cheatsheet, validates with book_skill_validator.py and enforces a rights gate.

# 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.
