Book to Skill
virgiliojr94/book-to-skill
Turn a technical book PDF (or docs folder) into a Claude / Copilot skill you can study and use while you work.
GitHub repository
Overview
Stop highlighting PDFs you’ll never reopen. Book-to-skill converts books and document sets into an agent skill — so the book is searchable and usable inside your coding agent. Repo (copy/paste): https://github.com/virgiliojr94/book-to-skill
Work with LimeDock
Using this skill? LimeDock can wire it into a durable automation you own.
Skills show what's possible. LimeDock builds and runs the owned marketing, sales, and ops automations around them.
We sell owned automations for SaaS teams — live workflows that plug into Slack, CRM, and your internal platform — not just a skill list.

Installation guide
Not installed into LimeDock.
1. Copy: https://github.com/virgiliojr94/book-to-skill 2. Install via the repo’s release / README for your agent (Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Amp). 3. Point it at a PDF, EPUB, DOCX, or docs folder you have rights to use. 4. Load the generated skill in your agent.
How to use it
**Simple example** You’re implementing auth and own a PDF of an OAuth book.
1. Run book-to-skill on that PDF. 2. Enable the generated skill in Claude Code. 3. Ask: “Using the book skill, explain PKCE for our SPA and list pitfalls.” 4. Get answers grounded in the book while you code.
Example prompts
- “Convert this internal runbook folder into a skill I can invoke as /runbook.”
- “Using the generated skill, quiz me on chapter 3 before I implement it.”
- “What formats does book-to-skill support?”
Use cases and examples
- Company playbooks → agent skills
- Technical books as always-on references
- Training material that agents can cite while shipping
Prerequisites
- Rights to the books/docs you convert
- Compatible coding agent
- Disk space for source files + generated skill
Tips
- One focused book beats dumping your whole Drive.
- Name the skill after the job (“oauth-pkce”), not the filename.
