Distill Book

Agent skill
1 skill

Distill a long book into a concise, structured set of learnings by processing it chapter by chapter with parallel subagents, then synthesizing the result -- optionally into a Claude Code skill. Works for any format the book comes in -- PDF, EPUB, Markdown, HTML, plain text. Use this skill whenever the user wants to summarize, distill, extract the core ideas from, or "turn into a skill" a book, ebook, manual, or other long-form document that is too large to read in one pass. Triggers include "distill this book", "summarize this book chapter by chapter", "extract the key principles from this PDF/ebook", "make a skill out of this book", or handing over a large multi-chapter document and asking what to learn from it.
