Book to Skills — 电子书智能拆解器

Overview

输入一本电子书，自动完成格式识别 → 文本提取 → 结构分析 → 知识点拆解 → 生成多个可直接使用的 WorkBuddy 技能包。支持 PDF、EPUB、TXT、Markdown 四种输入格式，三种输出模式（知识库式 / 行动指南式 / 混合式），生成的技能包直接安装到本地 ~/.workbuddy/skills/，立即可用。

Workflow Decision Tree

User provides a book file
    ↓
Step 1: Format Detection & Text Extraction
    ↓
Step 2: Book Analysis (structure + core concepts + methodologies)
    ↓
Step 3: User Chooses Output Mode (knowledge / action / hybrid)
    ↓
Step 4: Generate Skills (multiple skill packages)
    ↓
Step 5: Install & Deliver (zip + installed locally)

Step 1: Format Detection & Text Extraction

1.1 Auto-detect Format

Use file extension and magic bytes to determine format:

Extension	Format	Extraction Method
`.pdf`	PDF	`pdfplumber` library
`.epub`	EPUB	`ebooklib` library
`.txt`	Plain Text	Direct read
`.md`	Markdown	Direct read

1.2 Text Extraction Commands

PDF extraction (use managed Python):

# Install pdfplumber if needed
python3 -m pip install pdfplumber -q

# Extract text to file
python3 scripts/extract_pdf.py "<input.pdf>" "<output.txt>"

EPUB extraction:

# Install ebooklib if needed
python3 -m pip install ebooklib beautifulsoup4 -q

# Extract text to file
python3 scripts/extract_epub.py "<input.epub>" "<output.txt>"

TXT/MD: Read directly with the Read tool.

1.3 Output

Extracted text is saved to a temporary file: /tmp/book_to_skills_extracted.txt

Step 2: Book Analysis

Load the extracted text and perform structured analysis. The analysis must be thorough — read the full text, not just the first few pages.

2.1 Analysis Dimensions

Produce a structured analysis covering:

书籍元信息: 书名、作者、出版信息、主题领域
章节结构: 目录层级（章→节→小节），每章的核心主题
核心概念清单: 每个核心概念用 1-2 句话概括
可落地方法论: 识别书中明确的操作步骤、框架、checklist
知识产品化信号: 哪些内容可以变成课程/星球帖/公众号文章（关联知识产品化探测器）
技能拆分建议: 建议生成几个 skill，每个 skill 的主题和边界

2.2 Analysis Output Format

输出一份 书籍分析报告.md，结构如下：

# 《书名》分析报告

## 📖 书籍元信息
- 书名：
- 作者：
- 主题领域：
- 核心主张（一句话）：

## 📑 章节结构
1. 第1章：xxx（核心主题）
   - 小节1：xxx
   - 小节2：xxx
2. ...

## 🧠 核心概念清单
| # | 概念 | 一句话概括 | 可技能化 |
|---|------|-----------|---------|
| 1 | xxx  | xxx       | ✅/❌    |

## 🔧 可落地方法论
| # | 方法论名称 | 步骤数 | 适用场景 | 可行动化 |
|---|-----------|-------|---------|---------|
| 1 | xxx       | N步   | xxx     | ✅/❌    |

## 💡 知识产品化信号
- 课程素材：
- 星球帖：
- 公众号：
- 选题关联：

## 🎯 技能拆分建议
建议生成 N 个 skill：
1. `{book-slug}-knowledge` — 知识库 skill（覆盖全书知识点）
2. `{book-slug}-{method-1}` — 行动 skill（{方法论名称}）
3. ...

---

Step 3: User Chooses Output Mode

After presenting the analysis report, ask the user to choose one of three modes:

请选择技能生成模式：

A) 📚 知识库式 — 生成1个综合知识库 skill，包含全书的 references 文档
B) ⚡ 行动指南式 — 为每个可落地方法论生成独立 action skill
C) 🔀 混合式（推荐） — 1个知识库 skill + N个行动 skill

你选哪个？

Do NOT proceed to Step 4 until the user responds with A, B, or C.

Step 4: Generate Skills

4.1 Skill Naming Convention

All generated skills use the prefix derived from the book name:

English book → slugify the title (e.g. atomic-habits-)
Chinese book → pinyin abbreviation or English translation (e.g. yuanzi-xiguan-)

Ask the user to confirm the prefix if ambiguous.

4.2 Knowledge Base Skill (知识库式)

When mode is A or C, generate one knowledge base skill:

{book-slug}-knowledge/
├── SKILL.md           # 知识库 skill 元信息 + 使用指引
└── references/
    ├── overview.md    # 全书概览 + 核心主张
    ├── concepts.md    # 核心概念详解
    ├── quotes.md      # 可引用金句
    └── structure.md   # 章节结构 + 各章要点

SKILL.md template for knowledge skill:

---
name: {book-slug}-knowledge
description: >
  Knowledge base for the book "{Book Title}". This skill should be used when the user wants to
  reference, query, or review concepts, quotes, and methodologies from this book. Trigger phrases
  include: "{book title}", "{author}", "{key concepts from the book}".
agent_created: true
---

# {Book Title} — 知识库

## Overview

This is a knowledge base skill for 《{Book Title}》by {Author}.

## How to Use

When the user mentions this book, its author, or its core concepts:
1. Load the relevant reference file(s) from `references/`
2. Provide accurate, book-grounded answers
3. When the user asks for quotes, load `references/quotes.md`
4. When the user asks about specific concepts, load `references/concepts.md`

## Reference Files

- `references/overview.md` — Book overview and core thesis
- `references/concepts.md` — All core concepts with detailed explanations
- `references/quotes.md` — Memorable quotes organized by topic
- `references/structure.md` — Chapter-by-chapter breakdown

4.3 Action Guide Skills (行动指南式)

When mode is B or C, generate one action skill per methodology:

{book-slug}-{method-slug}/
├── SKILL.md           # 行动 skill 元信息 + 步骤指引
└── scripts/
    └── checklist.py   # (optional) 可执行的 checklist 脚本

SKILL.md template for action skill:

---
name: {book-slug}-{method-slug}
description: >
  Action guide for "{Method Name}" from the book "{Book Title}". This skill should be used when
  the user wants to apply this methodology in practice. Trigger phrases include: "{method name}",
  "{related keywords}", "{book title} method".
agent_created: true
---

# {Method Name} — 行动指南

> 来源：《{Book Title}》by {Author}

## Overview

{1-2 sentence description of the method}

## Prerequisites

- {prerequisite 1}
- {prerequisite 2}

## Step-by-Step Guide

### Step 1: {Step Name}

{Detailed instructions}

### Step 2: {Step Name}

{Detailed instructions}

...

## Checklist

- [ ] Step 1 completed
- [ ] Step 2 completed
...

## Common Pitfalls

1. **{Pitfall}**: {Description + how to avoid}
2. ...

## Related Concepts

- From the same book: {concept 1}, {concept 2}
- See also: `{book-slug}-knowledge` skill for full book reference

4.4 Quality Requirements

Each generated skill must:

Have complete YAML frontmatter with specific name and description
Include agent_created: true flag
Have a clear trigger description (when to use)
Reference bundled resources correctly
Be immediately usable after installation

Step 5: Install & Deliver

5.1 Create Output Directory

mkdir -p ~/workbuddy-output/{YYYY-MM-DD}-book-to-skills/{book-slug}/

5.2 Install Skills Locally

For each generated skill, create the directory under ~/.workbuddy/skills/:

mkdir -p ~/.workbuddy/skills/{skill-name}/

Write all files (SKILL.md + references/scripts/assets) to the skill directory.

5.3 Generate Index Document

Create 技能索引.md listing all generated skills with descriptions:

# 《{Book Title}》技能包索引

生成日期：{YYYY-MM-DD}
技能总数：{N}

## 技能列表

| # | 技能名称 | 类型 | 描述 | 触发词 |
|---|---------|------|------|--------|
| 1 | {name} | 知识库 | {desc} | {triggers} |
| 2 | {name} | 行动指南 | {desc} | {triggers} |
...

## 使用示例

- 想查这本书的某个概念 → 直接说概念名，会自动触发知识库 skill
- 想执行某个方法论 → 说方法名，会自动触发行动 skill
- 想引用书中的金句 → 说"帮我找 {书名} 里关于 {主题} 的金句"

5.4 Package Skills (Optional)

If the user wants distributable zip files:

python3 path/to/skill-creator/scripts/package_skill.py \
  ~/.workbuddy/skills/{skill-name} \
  ~/workbuddy-output/{YYYY-MM-DD}-book-to-skills/{book-slug}/

5.5 Final Delivery

Present to the user:

Analysis report (书籍分析报告.md)
Skill index (技能索引.md)
Confirmation that all skills are installed and ready to use
