Turn written knowledge into an agent skill by extracting structure, not summaries.
A book is crystallized expertise: frameworks, principles, techniques that took years to develop. Read once, forgotten. The workarounds all fail — PDF search returns page numbers instead of answers, an agent handed the raw file hallucinates or drowns, reading notes rot. This skill compiles a source into a knowledge base the agent loads on demand: a small resident core, one chapter file at a time, and never the whole book again.
