anything-to-skill

Turn a book, paper, or manual into an agent skill.

Point your agent at a PDF and it reads the whole thing, then writes a skill that carries what the book actually teaches — for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, opencode, and anything else that loads skills from a directory.

Install

clawhub install @asale-ai/anything-to-skill

The skill drives a small binary that does the reading:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asale-ai/anything-to-skill/main/install.sh | sh
# or, if you have Rust: cargo install anything-to-skill

Use

Ask your agent, and point at the file:

turn this book into a skill — ~/books/designing-data-intensive-applications.pdf

It will read the book, ask what you want the skill for — quick reference, a working guide, or deep study — and write the skill at that depth. When a page cannot be read as text, it renders that page and reads it as an image instead of quietly leaving a hole.

Formats
