virgiliojr94/book-to-skill
A skill (and companion CLI) that converts a book or long document into a reusable agent skill, distilling its methods into something Claude can apply.
Why it matters
A book’s value is locked in prose until you can act on it. Book-to-skill runs a convert-a-book flow to distill a text’s frameworks and steps into a structured skill, turning passive reading into an on-demand capability. For anyone who learns from books and wants that knowledge available at the command line, it closes a real gap.
Use cases
- Turn a methodology book into an installable agent skill
- Extract frameworks and checklists from long documents
- Build reusable skills from your own reading list
- Use the standalone CLI to pull clean text from a book
