Same content-consumption pattern: ingest → chunk → extract → optionally capture to second-brain.\n\n## Step 1 — Parse input\n\nAccept:\n- **PDF**: file path (Claude reads PDFs natively in chunks via `Read pages:\"X-Y\"`)\n- **EPUB / MOBI**: file path (needs `pandoc` or `ebook-convert` to extract — see `references/sources.md`)\n- **Markdown / .txt**: file path (read directly)\n- **Pasted text**: just use what was pasted\n- **URL** to public-domain text: `WebFetch` (Project Gutenberg, archive.org, etc.)\n\nDetect type from file extension. If ambiguous, ask.\n\n## Step 2 — Parse mode\n\n| Invocation | Mode | What you get |\n|---|---|---|\n| `/read-book <input>` | **notes** (default) | Chapter-by-chapter: TL;DR + key concepts + quotes + action items + frameworks |\n| `/read-book <input> summary` | summary | Whole-book TL;DR (1 paragraph) + 3–5 key takeaways + who-it's-for |\n| `/read-book <input> quotes` | quotes | Pull-quote highlights only, with chapter context and page refs |\n| `/read-book <input> study` | study | Notes mode + 10–20 spaced-repetition Q&A cards |\n\nIf the book is long (>200 pages) and mode is unspecified, default to `notes` but warn it'll take many tool calls.\n\n## Step 3 — Get the text + chunk\n\nSee `references/sources.md` for per-source ingestion. Output of this step: text content + a chunking plan.\n\n**Chunking strategy** (hybrid, in priority order):\n\n1. **By chapter** if a TOC exists (PDF with bookmarks, EPUB/MOBI converted via pandoc preserves chapter headers)\n   - Use `pdfinfo <pdf> | grep \"Pages\"` for PDFs\n   - Use `pdftotext -layout <pdf> | grep -i \"^chapter\\|^part\"` for chapter detection, or read TOC from page 1–5\n   - EPUB: after `pandoc <epub> -o tmp.md`, chunks are between `# Chapter X` headers\n\n2. **By page count** for PDFs without TOC: 50 pages per chunk\n\n3. **By character count** for text/markdown: 30,000 chars per chunk (~7,500 words)\n\nSave the chunking plan as `~/Documents/books/<author>-<title-slug>-<YYYY-MM-DD>/chunks.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"source\": \"<path>\",\n  \"title\": \"<book title>\",\n  \"author\": \"<author>\",\n  \"type\": \"pdf\",\n  \"total_pages\": 287,\n  \"chunking\": \"by-chapter\",\n  \"chunks\": [\n    {\"i\": 0, \"label\": \"Introduction\", \"pages\": \"1-12\"},\n    {\"i\": 1, \"label\": \"Chapter 1: The Problem\", \"pages\": \"13-32\"},\n    ...\n  ]\n}\n```\n\n## Step 4 — Read each chunk\n\nLoop:\n1. Read chunk N (`Read` tool with `pages:` for PDF, full file for text/MD)\n2. Extract per the chosen mode (see `references/output-modes.md` for templates)\n3. Append the chunk's notes to `~/Documents/books/<workdir>/notes-<NNN>-<label-slug>.md`\n\nFor PDFs, **don't read the whole book in one call** — Claude's PDF tool maxes around 10 pages. Process chunks individually.\n\nIf a chunk fails to extract anything useful (e.g., it's mostly diagrams or front-matter), log the skip and continue.\n\n## Step 5 — Aggregate into final notes file\n\nCombine all chunk notes into a single `~/Documents/books/<workdir>/notes.md` matching the mode's full-book template (see `references/output-modes.md`).\n\nTop of the file always has the metadata block + the second-brain-compatible frontmatter:\n\n```markdown\nsource: <file path or URL>\ncaptured: YYYY-MM-DD\ntype: book\nbook_title: <title>\nauthor: <author>\nmode: notes\nchunks: <count>\nchunking: <strategy>\n\n# <title> by <author>\n\n## TL;DR\n<2–3 sentences>\n\n## Key takeaways\n1. ...\n\n## Chapter notes\n...\n\n## Cross-references (suggested for wiki)\n- Could connect to [[Longevity Biomarkers]] (per Chapter 3 discussion of biomarkers)\n- Could connect to [[Productivity & Systems]] (per Chapter 7 framework)\n```\n\nThe cross-reference suggestions are advisory — they're suggestions for `/sb compile` to act on, not auto-applied. Keep responsibilities separated.\n\n## Step 6 — Offer to capture to second-brain\n\nAsk:\n\n> *\"Want to capture this to second-brain? I'll write it to `${SECOND_BRAIN_VAULT:-$HOME/Documents/SecondBrain}/raw/highlights-<slug>.md` matching your vault's `highlights-` type prefix.\"*\n\nDefault is **ask**, never auto-write. If yes:\n1. Copy the final `notes.md` (with the second-brain-compatible frontmatter at top) to `${SECOND_BRAIN_VAULT:-$HOME/Documents/SecondBrain}/raw/highlights-<slug>.md`\n2. Tell the user the path\n3. Suggest: *\"Run `/sb compile` later to merge this into wiki pages — the cross-reference suggestions in the footer are starting points.\"*\n\nIf the user skips capture, the workdir still has everything — they can grab the file later.\n\n## Step 7 — Report\n\nIn chat:\n- One-line headline: `<title> · <author> · <total_pages or word count> · <mode> · <chunks processed>`\n- Workdir path\n- The TL;DR section\n- For `notes` / `study` modes: brief list of top 3 takeaways\n- For `quotes` mode: top 3 quotes\n- If captured to second-brain: that path too\n\n## Modes (quick invocations)\n\n| Invocation | Mode | Behavior |\n|---|---|---|\n| `/read-book <input>` | notes | Full pipeline, default mode |\n| `/read-book <input> summary` | summary | Just TL;DR + key takeaways (1 read pass for short books, sampled chapters for long) |\n| `/read-book <input> quotes` | quotes | Chapter-by-chapter, but only output quotes |\n| `/read-book <input> study` | study | Notes + Q&A spaced-rep cards |\n| `/read-book <input> --capture` | (any) | Skip the ask step, auto-write to second-brain raw/ |\n| `/read-book <input> --render pdf` | (any) | Also render the final `notes.md` to PDF via pandoc (uses `~/.local/share/makerskills/render.css`). See `references/output-modes.md`. |\n| `/read-book <input> --render html` | (any) | Same as above but HTML |\n\n## Composes with\n\n- `second-brain` — primary integration: writes `highlights-<slug>.md` to `raw/`. Then `/sb compile` merges into wiki pages.\n- `deep-research` — when a research question turns up a book, `/read-book` is the next step. Notes feed back into the research brief.\n- `business-brainstorm` — when scoring an idea (e.g., business books on similar models), read-book provides the structured evidence.\n- `decide` — when a decision hinges on what an authority has written (e.g., \"should I take VC money?\" → read Naval / Jason Cohen), `read-book` extracts the relevant chapter.\n- `slide-deck` — book takeaways → talk material (book talk pattern).\n- `watch-video` — sibling skill, same content-consumption pattern. Audiobook? Use `watch-video transcript` mode.\n- `nonfictionskills` / `fictionskills` — when researching to *write* a book, this skill reads the comp titles.\n\n## Error handling\n\n| Failure | Response |\n|---|---|\n| EPUB/MOBI without pandoc / ebook-convert | Tell the user: `brew install pandoc` or `brew install calibre` (calibre includes `ebook-convert`) |\n| PDF is scanned (no text layer) | Suggest OCR first: `brew install ocrmypdf && ocrmypdf <pdf> <pdf-ocr.pdf>` |\n| PDF has no detectable TOC | Fall back to 50-page chunks. Note in the metadata. |\n| Book is unusually long (>500 pages) | Warn cost / time, ask if the user wants summary mode instead of full notes |\n| Chunk extraction empty | Skip the chunk, log, continue. Don't fail the whole run. |\n\n## Notes on quality\n\n- **Don't summarize beyond recognition.** A 30-page chapter should produce 8–15 lines of notes, not 3. Compression is good; flattening is bad.\n- **Preserve specifics.** Names, numbers, dates, quotes — keep them. The whole point is later-the user can grep \"what did Andy Wilkinson say about X\" and find it.\n- **Quotes are sacred.** When you flag a quote, copy it verbatim. Note the page if possible.\n- **Action items are explicit.** If the book makes you think \"I should do X,\" flag it explicitly. These are the highest-leverage outputs.\n- **Frameworks deserve their own bullets.** When the author names a framework (e.g., \"the 9-dimension filter,\" \"Save the Cat beats\"), call it out by name in the notes.\n","tagline":"When you want to read and extract structured notes from a book — PDF, EPUB, MOBI, markdown, .txt, pasted text, or URL to a public-domain work.
