Ebook Ingest
Use this skill when the user wants to find, download, and prepare an ebook for AI agent ingestion (RAG, fine-tuning, or long-context reference). Triggers include: requests to acquire a digital copy of a book the user owns in print, building a personal book corpus for an AI agent, converting EPUB/PDF/MOBI to clean Markdown for LLM consumption, or chunking books for vector stores. Handles search across multiple sources (Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks, Anna's Archive, LibGen, Z-Library, archive.org), format conversion via calibre/pandoc, OCR for scanned PDFs, cleanup, metadata, and chunking. Do NOT use for academic papers (use Sci-Hub/unpaywall), bulk public-domain scraping (hit Gutenberg's API directly), or DRM'd commercial ebooks the user has not purchased.
