book-to-skill

v1.0.0

Converts books, documentation folders, and source collections (PDF, EPUB, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, RST, AsciiDoc, RTF, MOBI/AZW) into structured agent skills: a master SKILL.md with core frameworks and a topic index, on-demand chapter files, a glossary, a patterns file, and a decision cheatsheet. Ships 4 stdlib-only tools (multi-format extractor with invisible-Unicode sanitization, four-family generated-skill validator, pre/post-flight token budget estimator, and a plugin emitter that wraps a compiled skill as an installable claude-skills package), 5 references citing 7-8 sources each (including the full step-by-step conversion workflow), a cs-book-to-skill agent, and /cs:book-to-skill + /cs:book-to-plugin commands. 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 plugin.

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.
