@stackle_yourcareerlab: How to Turn Any Book Into a Claude Skill Convert a book’s method into a slash command you can run anytime. Book → Method → SKILL.md → /command 1. Pick the right book Works: Books with a repeatable framework, method, or checklist. Skip: Fiction, memoirs, pure storytelling. Test: Can you describe the book’s method in numbered steps? If yes, it’s skillable. 2. Extract the system — 5 questions 1. What problem does this book solve? 2. What are the steps of the method, in order? 3. What rules does the author repeat across chapters? 4. What mistakes does the author warn against? 5. What questions does the author ask the reader? 3. Build the SKILL.md Open Cowork. Use Opus 4.7 with Extended Thinking. Paste this prompt: Use the skill-creator to build a skill from [BOOK TITLE] by [AUTHOR]. The skill should activate when I ask Claude to [exact task — e.g. validate a startup idea, plan a deep work week, write a brand story]. Method from the book: • Steps: [paste] • Rules the author repeats: [paste] • Mistakes to avoid: [paste] • Questions the author asks: [paste] Do NOT use this skill for: [3–4 adjacent tasks — e.g. general writing, unrelated business advice, book summaries]. Interview me on anything missing before generating the SKILL.md. Then run an evaluation. 4. Pro tip: Build 2 skills Big books have two layers. Split them: • /[book]-diagnose — runs the book’s questions and frameworks on your situation. • /[book]-apply — runs the book’s steps and templates to produce the output. Example — The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick: • /momtest-diagnose reviews your customer interview questions and flags the leading ones. • /momtest-apply rewrites them in the Rob Fitzpatrick format. 5. Test before you install Check three things: 1. Try 5 different phrasings of the same request — does the skill activate every time? 2. Try 3 unrelated requests — does the skill stay quiet for the wrong tasks? 3. Ask Claude: “When would you use this skill?” Install Settings → Capabilities → Skills → Upload. Type your slash command anywhere in Claude. The skill runs.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
