@NFTCPS: Attention bookworms! Those tech books gathering dust on your shelf finally have a purpose. A new open-source tool called book-to-skill just blew up on GitHub, racking up over 2700 Stars. Its approach is wild: just drop in a PDF or EPUB, it automatically extracts the table of contents, core concepts, and patterns, and generates a skill with one click. Later, just type "/书名技能" plus your topic, and it will flip through the book for you.
Summary
