Converts books and documents into structured agent skills

Supported formats

Point /book-to-skill at a file, folder, glob, or list of paths. Supported document formats include:

• PDF, EPUB, DOCX, HTML / HTM
• TXT, Markdown, reStructuredText, AsciiDoc
• RTF, MOBI / AZW / AZW3 (via Calibre)

Philosophy

Books contain crystallized expertise. This converter turns that into a toolkit the agent can reuse:

• Named frameworks with clear application
• Actionable principles that guide decisions
• Techniques as step by step methods
• Anti-patterns, what to avoid and why
• Voice calibration for how the author thinks

Preserve the author's precision. “The 5 Whys” is not interchangeable with “ask why multiple times.”

Modes of operation

1. Full conversion (default)

Provide one or more document paths. The skill runs the full pipeline and writes SKILL.md, chapters/, glossary, patterns, and cheatsheet.

2. Analyze only

Ask to analyze first. You get a structured extraction report without writing skill files.

3. Generate from prior analysis

Feed existing analysis notes and skip straight to skill generation.

4. Update / fold in

Merge new sources into an existing skill folder, keeping indexes and glossaries in sync as material lands.

Content type choice

Before extraction, the skill asks whether sources are:

• Technical code, tables, formulas to Docling (about 1.5s per page)
• Text heavy mostly prose to the fastest suitable extractor
