Turn any technical book, document folder, or collection of sources into a unified agent skill — ready to study, reference, and use while you work in GitHub Copilot CLI, Amp, Claude Code, Hermes Agent, or OpenClaw.

24×–51× fewer tokens than dumping the book into context to answer one question, measured on real books ( how it's measured ).
How it works, in 3 steps:
1. Point it at a file, folder, or glob — /book-to-skill ./my-book.pdf 2. It distills the book into a skill — frameworks, decision rules, anti-patterns, and per-chapter files. Structure, not a summary. 3. Your agent loads it on demand — ask /my-book replication and it reads the right chapter and answers from the real content, no hallucination.

🤔 Why
You buy a great technical book. You read it once. Three months later you can't remember chapter 7 existed.
The usual workarounds don't help: • 📄 "Let me just search the PDF" → you get a list of pages, not answers • 🧠 "I'll ask the agent about this book" → it either hallucinates or says it doesn't have the content • 📝 "I'll take notes as I read" → you end up with a 200-line doc you never open again
book-to-skill solves this by turning the book into a structured skill your agent loads on demand.
Once installed, you just type /your-book-slug replication and the agent reads the right chapter and answers from the actual content. No hallucination. No digging through PDFs. The book becomes part of your workflow.
Works with any host that supports the open Agent Skills standard — GitHub Copilot CLI, Amp, Claude Code, Hermes Agent, and…

Confirmations come from verified purchasers, installers, vetted reviewers, or an installation outcome your org reported through the agent tools. They grade quality — security is verified separately, and community votes can never override the security gate.

Full passport →0/0 automated components pass. An automated score is never a security guarantee.
This listing is unclaimed, so publisher identity cannot be verified and it stays below the “verified” tier by design — that is a statement about the listing, not about the project’s quality. Our automated scans still ran; a maintainer who claims it unlocks identity verification.
