Every book is a skill waiting to be unlocked.

**You have 50 books on your shelf. Your agent can't read any of them. And the existing agent-skills ecosystem can't help, because skills only exist where someone bothered to hand-write one, and that someone is almost always a programmer writing programming skills.**

BookForge is a book knowledge engine for AI agents. It runs an automated pipeline that distills non-fiction books into tested agent skills: the decision frameworks, checklists, and workflows inside each book, extracted as instructions your agent can actually execute. Every book, every domain, no expert bottleneck.

Install one, and your agent gains the playbook from a book it'll never read.

No more pasting chapters into context. No more "act as an expert in X". Just `claude plugin install bookforge-never-split-the-difference` and your agent starts negotiating like Chris Voss.
