Of the 200 tech books you've read, how many chapters do you remember after 3 months? PDFs sit on your hard drive, unopened. Notes span 200 lines, never revisited. Ask an Agent, and it either hallucinates or says "I don't know this book." 3 ways to "use" a book: · Stuff it into Claude's context: 200K tokens per session starting cost · Let the Agent read the PDF itself: rediscover the table of contents and flip pages each round · Compile it into book-to-skill: extract once, load one chapter on demand each time The third way is called book-to-skill, 5,350 stars, created 6 weeks ago, 160 KB.
