This tool converts various document formats, including PDF and EPUB, into structured agent skills. It extracts frameworks, mental models, principles, and anti-patterns from source texts to make them accessible via CLI agents.
It is designed for users who want to apply an author's specific methodology while working or build a reusable knowledge base that can be queried by coding assistants.
