Book to Skill

By Virgilio Jr

Turn a book or document into a reusable playbook your AI assistant can apply.

Source Verification

By James Anditis (Journalism)

Verify claims, check sources, and fact-check information like a journalist.

Book to Skill

• Reads PDF, EPUB, Word, HTML, Markdown, plain text, and other document formats
• Extracts named frameworks, mental models, principles, and anti-patterns in the author's own terms
• Creates chapter-by-chapter notes plus a glossary, patterns guide, and cheat sheet
• Offers an analyze-only mode so you can review findings before anything is generated
• Updates an existing book skill when you add new chapters or sources

Source Verification

• Evaluates source credibility using journalism checklists and the SIFT method
• Analyzes social media accounts for authenticity, bot behavior, and red flags
• Guides reverse image searches to find original sources and detect manipulated photos
• Verifies documents by checking metadata, formatting consistency, and provenance
• Creates documented verification trails showing how you confirmed or debunked claims
