What it does

Converts books and documents (PDF, EPUB, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, plain text, RTF, MOBI/AZW with Calibre) into structured agent skills, extracting frameworks, mental models, principles, techniques, and anti-patterns. Use when the user wants to study a document through GitHub Copilot CLI, Amp, Claude Code, Hermes Agent, or OpenClaw, apply an author's frameworks while working, or build a reusable knowledge base from a file.

Install

With the skills CLI, which installs into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents:

npx skills add virgiliojr94/book-to-skill --skill book-to-skill

Or copy the skill folder into Claude Code's skills directory by hand (~/.claude/skills for every project, or .claude/skills inside one):

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/virgiliojr94/book-to-skill
cp -r book-to-skill ~/.claude/skills/book-to-skill
