book-to-skill

Converts books, documentation folders, and source collections (PDF, EPUB, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, RST, AsciiDoc, RTF, MOBI/AZW) into structured agent skills — extracting named frameworks, principles, techniques, and anti-patterns into a master SKILL.md plus on-demand chapter files, a glossary, a patterns file, and a decision cheatsheet. Use when the user wants to study a document with an agent, apply an author's frameworks while working, turn internal docs or standards into a reusable knowledge base, or package a compiled book skill as a claude-skills plugin.

Quality

Content

77%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-organized, actionable body with strong workflow sequencing and explicit validation gates. Its main weakness is progressive disclosure: the body leans heavily on reference and script files that are not present in the bundle, leaving dead links.

Suggestions

Ship the referenced bundle (references/*.md and scripts/*.py) alongside SKILL.md, or inline the minimum needed to run a conversion so the run block is self-contained.

Trim the motivational Philosophy/intro prose to the actionable principles so every remaining token instructs rather than persuades.

Add a one-line note where references are first cited if any are optional, so a missing file is distinguishable from a broken link.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Mostly lean with tight tables, an executable run block, and no explaining of basic concepts, but the Philosophy/intro prose ('A book is crystallized expertise... The workarounds all fail...') is motivational padding that could be trimmed; efficient with minor over-explanation.	4 / 5
Actionability	The 'Run it' block gives concrete, copy-paste-form bash with real variables and documented --help/--sample/--json flags, but the referenced scripts (extract_document.py, token_budget_estimator.py, etc.) are not present in the bundle, so end-to-end execution would fail; mostly executable with a real gap.	4 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Steps 0-11 are sequenced in a clear table with explicit validation checkpoints (Step 2.5 'wait for approval', Step 9.5 'Errors block. Fix and re-run; never rewrite around a finding') and feedback loops, plus a validator-findings table for error recovery.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	The body is well structured with clearly signaled one-level-deep references (references/conversion_workflow.md and four others), but no ./references/ or ./scripts/ bundle files exist, so every referenced path dangles and navigation breaks — the very index.dead_link defect the skill itself warns about.	3 / 5

Description

96%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific description with explicit what/when structure, natural trigger phrases, and comprehensive format coverage. Slightly broad on the 'knowledge base' framing, which creates minor overlap risk with adjacent skills.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions (extracting named frameworks, principles, techniques, anti-patterns) and concrete outputs (master SKILL.md, on-demand chapter files, glossary, patterns file, cheatsheet) across many named formats, giving comprehensive coverage.	5 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both 'what' (converts sources into structured agent skills with named artifacts) and 'when' ('Use when the user wants to study a document with an agent...') with concrete trigger phrases.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Natural user phrases ('study a document with an agent', 'apply an author's frameworks while working', 'turn internal docs or standards into a reusable knowledge base', 'package a compiled book skill as a plugin') plus file extensions (PDF, EPUB, DOCX, etc.) give comprehensive coverage including synonyms.	5 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Clear niche (book/doc-to-skill conversion) with distinct triggers, but 'turn internal docs or standards into a reusable knowledge base' is broad enough to risk minor overlap with related knowledge-base/authoring skills; not a 5 because of that breadth.	4 / 5
