book-to-skill

What it does

book-to-skill converts any book or document into a structured, on-demand skill for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Amp. Instead of dumping a whole book into context, it distills the author's frameworks, mental models, decision rules, and anti-patterns into compact files the agent loads only when a topic is relevant. Extraction runs locally, it's MIT-licensed and dependency-light, and it speaks the open Agent Skills standard. 6,000+ stars and a multilingual contributor community.

Turn any book, PDF or EPUB into a structured agent skill for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, Amp and Hermes Agent. Named frameworks and decision rules, loaded on demand.

Turn any book or document into a structured, on-demand agent skill — named frameworks, decision rules, and anti-patterns. Structure, not a summary. PDF, EPUB, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, RTF, MOBI/AZW (via Calibre). Extraction runs locally with graceful stdlib fallbacks — no upload, no lock-in. Named frameworks, mental models, decision rules, and anti-patterns — the author's toolkit, captured with their exact terms, not a book report. 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. One SKILL.md runs on Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, Amp, and Hermes Agent through the open Agent Skills standard. npx skills…from booktoskill.is-a.dev

  I used Claude Code to discover connections between 100 booksJan 2026 · trails.pieterma.es · ▲524

  I think LLMs are overused to summarise and underused to help us read deeper. I built a system for Claude Code to browse 100 non-fiction books and find interesting connections between them. I started out with a pipeline in stages, chaining together LLM calls to build up a context of the library. I was mainly getting back the insight that I was baking into the prompts, and the results weren't particularly surprising. On a whim, I gave CC access to my debug CLI tools and found that it wiped the floor with that approach. It gave actually interesting results and required very little orchestration…

  I Made a Claude Skill for Spec-Driven Development (SDD)May 2026 · github.com · ▲40

  At my work they provided a single Claude subscription for everyone on the team. To be honest I like kiro better as it provides a way better SDD management. But the company can't provide it and I can't afford it yet. Turns out I had the skill creator skill in my claude instance so I made use of it to create this Skill. I made it fully by using Claude but I wanted to make it open source, so I asked it to help me make tests and preparations for it, even a CI to run python tests. Well, we got this results with it: - Phase 2A: 67 static assertions (Python script, runs in CI) - Phase 2B: 15…

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
