# Book-to-Skill Converter Transform written knowledge into actionable agent skills by extracting structure — not producing summaries. ## Philosophy Books contain crystallized expertise: frameworks, principles, and techniques that took years to develop. This skill extracts that knowledge into a format an agent can leverage repeatedly. **Extract structure, not summaries.** A skill isn't a book report. It's a toolkit of: - Named frameworks (mental models with clear application) - Actionable principles (rules that guide decisions) - Techniques (step-by-step methods) - Anti-patterns (what to avoid and why) - Voice calibration (how the author thinks and communicates) **Preserve the author's precision.** Frameworks often have specific names for reasons. "The 5 Whys" isn't interchangeable with "ask why multiple times." Capture the exact formulation. **Layer depth appropriately.** Simple books → simple skills. Complex books with 10+ frameworks → skills with reference files and on-demand chapters. --- ## Modes of Operation Four paths available. Route based on what the user asks: ### 1.
