virgiliojr94/book-to-skill — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a Python tool that turns a technical book or document into a Claude Code skill I can actually use while working.

I want to give it a file path for a PDF, EPUB, DOCX, text, Markdown, HTML, RTF, or ebook file, and have it create a clean skill inside my Claude skills folder. It should ask me whether the book is very technical or mostly prose, then use the best available extractor for that type. If something is missing, tell me exactly what to install instead of just failing.

The generated skill should not dump the whole book. It should create a short main skill file with the big ideas and chapter index, separate chapter summaries that load only when needed, plus a glossary, patterns file, and quick cheat sheet. The goal is that I can later ask Claude about a topic from the book and get answers grounded in the actual content.

Make it simple to run from Claude Code as a slash command. Look up current docs online if needed.
