@wsl8297: Reading a thick book, the hardest part is not 'having AI summarize it,' but preserving the conceptual relationships between chapters, the argument flow, and a revisitable structure. SpineDigest is an open-source tool that uses an LLM pipeline to compress long books into structured output that resembles a 'skeleton.' GitHub: http…

@GitHub_Daily: SpineDigest is an open-source tool on GitHub that distills entire books into structured key content, allowing you to decide what to retain based on your reading goals. Its processing approach is quite interesting: it first uses AI to extract key knowledge points chapter by chapter, then employs algorithms to construct a knowledge graph that connects related concepts. Finally, it uses…
SpineDigest is an open-source CLI tool that uses a multi-stage AI pipeline to distill long books into structured summaries, generating chapter topology maps and knowledge graphs, and displaying them with the Inkora reader.
@sitinme: Not just "have AI summarize a book", but go further: turning a book or a document package into a Skill that an AI Agent can repeatedly call. This idea is worth discussing. Previously, after buying and reading a book, when I later wanted to find a certain knowledge point, I couldn't find it after flipping through for a long time; asking AI might make things up; throwing the entire PD…
Introduces a tool called book-to-skill that converts books or document packages into AI Agent callable Skills. It supports PDF and other formats, generates SKILL.md and chapter indexes, avoiding loading the full context at once.

Synthadoc is an open-source tool that compiles PDFs, documents, and other project materials into a structured local Markdown wiki, automatically establishing cross-references and detecting contradictions. It is suitable for personal or small teams for offline knowledge management.
@yiyangleex: Using tools like Codex and Cursor to learn and understand codebases has a major issue: if you want to deeply understand a project's architecture, they can often only provide you with a bunch of markdown text or Mermaid diagrams.
Points out that current AI code understanding tools like Codex/Cursor can only provide static text or Mermaid diagrams, while modus can generate interactive diagrams and sandbox HTML in conversation, allowing users to intuitively understand code architecture through dragging and clicking, demonstrated with the Codex CLI source code as an example.
