This skill applies Mortimer Adler's systematic reading methodology ("How to Read a Book") through a six-step progressive approach: inspectional reading, structural analysis, component extraction, synthesis, skill construction, and validation. The process is collaborative -- at decision points, options and trade-offs are presented for the user to choose.

Methodology composition. All five extractable steps are now backed by domain-neutral standalone skills, reusable beyond skill creation. The orchestration is owned by the skill-creator agent; this skill-file remains as documentation of the methodology and as a way to apply the methodology without the agent's session-workspace overhead.
