book-to-skill
Turn any book or document into a structured, on-demand agent skill — named frameworks, decision rules, and anti-patterns. Structure, not a summary.

Why book-to-skill
-
:material-file-document-multiple:{ .lg .middle } Multi-format
PDF, EPUB, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, RTF, MOBI/AZW (via Calibre). Extraction runs locally with graceful stdlib fallbacks — no upload, no lock-in.
-
:material-brain:{ .lg .middle } Structure, not summaries
Named frameworks, mental models, decision rules, and anti-patterns — the author's toolkit, captured with their exact terms, not a book report.
-
:material-flash:{ .lg .middle } On-demand chapters
Per-chapter files load only when the topic is relevant, so a 200-page book costs tokens proportional to the question, not the page count.
-
:material-robot-happy:{ .lg .middle } Multi-agent
One
SKILL.mdruns on Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, Amp, and Hermes Agent through the open Agent Skills standard.
Install
As an agent skill (gives you the /book-to-skill command in Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Amp, or Hermes Agent):
npx skills add virgiliojr94/book-to-skill
# or manually:
git clone https://github.com/virgiliojr94/book-to-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/book-to-skill
# then, in your agent session:
/book-to-skill /path/to/book.pdf [skill-name]
As a standalone CLI (just the text extractor, optional):
# not on PyPI yet — pip takes it from the repository
pip install "book-to-skill[pdf,epub,docx] @ git+https://github.com/virgiliojr94/book-to-skill.git"
book-to-skill /path/to/book.pdf --mode text
