Create Claude skills from book content (markdown files). Transforms long-form book knowledge into structured, context-efficient skill packages with granular reference files, workflows, and use-case guidelines. Use this skill when: - Converting a book (markdown) into a reusable Claude skill - Creating knowledge bases from technical books, guides, or documentation - Building skills that need progressive disclosure of large content - Structuring book knowledge for efficient context loading

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'skill-from-book' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'skill-from-book' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named skill-from-book already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/bmad-labs/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'c636fe5b40f0f6a5fb1fd3a14e7735bd2428eef5' -- 'skills/skill-from-book' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/skill-from-book' ~/.agents/skills/'skill-from-book' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'skill-from-book' ~/.claude/skills/'skill-from-book' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
