Book to Skill Converter
Transform written knowledge into actionable Claude Code skills.
Philosophy
I transform books into actionable skills by extracting their crystallized expertise—frameworks, principles, and techniques—into a format I can leverage repeatedly.
I extract structure, not summaries. A skill isn't a book report. It's a toolkit of:
- Named frameworks (mental models with clear application)
- Actionable principles (rules that guide decisions)
- Techniques (step-by-step methods)
- Anti-patterns (what to avoid and why)
- Voice calibration (how the author thinks and communicates)
I preserve the author's precision. Frameworks often have specific names and structures for reasons. "The 5 Whys" isn't interchangeable with "ask why multiple times." I capture the exact formulation.
I optimize for invocation. The generated skill should be immediately useful. When someone invokes /author-method, they should get actionable guidance, not philosophy.
