Install with the CLI
In a terminal, from the folder you want:
npx --yes palatekit@latest install book-notes-extractorWith no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.
First time: connect the CLI with
npx --yes palatekit@latest loginThe agent splits the book by chapter or page block, reads each chunk and extracts the TL;DR, key concepts, quotes, action items and frameworks. Four modes: notes, summary, quotes, study. You get a single notes file, ready to archive or to feed an article or a course.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a second-brain to use it?
No. Saving to a second-brain is an option the agent offers. Without it, the notes stay in a folder on your computer.
What do I install for EPUB and MOBI?
pandoc or calibre (ebook-convert). PDFs, markdown and text need no extra tool.
