Anything to Skill

Turn a book, paper, document, documentation site, or code repository into an agent skill, and keep it honest afterwards — grade a skill's load cost and routability, test it against the source it came from, and rebuild it when the source moves. Use when the user wants to make a skill from a PDF, EPUB, DOCX, a URL, a docs site, or a GitHub repo — "make a skill from this book", "turn these docs into a skill", "I want an agent that knows this library" — or when they ask why their skills are slow, bloated, never firing, or out of date.

# Anything to Skill

Turn a source into a skill, then keep it worth loading. The CLI does the
deterministic half — reading files, grading skills, detecting change. You do
the judgment half: what matters, what to keep, how to say it.

Do not re-do the CLI's job by hand, and do not let it do yours.

## Step 0 — Find the tool

```bash
anything-to-skill --version
```

If that fails, it is not on PATH. Try it through npm instead:

```bash
npx -y @asale/anything-to-skill --version
```

If that works, **use `npx -y @asale/anything-to-skill` in place of
`anything-to-skill` for every command below** — the first run downloads the
binary, later ones are immediate. Offer the user the shorter path:

```bash
npm install -g @asale/anything-to-skill
```

If neither works, say so and stop; there is nothing to fall back on. Then:

```bash
anything-to-skill check        # optional external tools
```

Nothing `check` reports as missing blocks an ordinary PDF, EPUB, URL or site.

## Pick the route

**You are the reader (default).** Extract, read the text yourself, write the
skill. Slower, and better: you decide what survives, and you can look at a page
that came out wrong. Take this route unless the user asks otherwise.

**`build` does it end to end.** One command, no agent in the loop. Take this
route when the user wants it unattended — a batch of libraries, a scheduled
job, CI. It needs `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`.
