Transform written knowledge into actionable agent skills by extracting structure — not producing summaries.
Books contain crystallized expertise: frameworks, principles, and techniques that took years to develop. This skill extracts that knowledge into a format GitHub Copilot CLI, Amp, Claude Code, Hermes Agent, OpenCode, OpenClaw, or another compatible agent can leverage repeatedly. Extract structure, not summaries. A skill isn't a book report. It's a toolkit of:
Preserve the author's precision. Frameworks often have specific names for reasons. "The 5 Whys" isn't interchangeable with "ask why multiple times." Capture the exact formulation.
