GitHub project book-to-skill converts technical book PDFs into unified agent skills for tools like Claude Code, Copilot CLI, and Amp.
Key Features:
- Reduces token consumption by 24x–51x compared to dumping the whole book into context to answer a question (measured on real books).
- Distills frameworks, decision rules, and anti-patterns from the source material.
- Accepts a file, folder, or glob pattern as input.
