What is it?

book-to-course is a Claude Code skill that takes a book in EPUB, PDF, HTML, DOCX, Markdown or plain text and builds it into an interactive course that runs locally in a web browser. The generated lessons include step-by-step explanations, worked examples, diagrams and animations, along with quizzes, chapter tests and flashcards.

For programming books, the course includes exercises with starter code, examples and unit tests. Learners write code in their own editor and run the tests from the course page. Before packaging, the skill checks that the tests fail on the starter code and pass on a reference solution. Progress for lessons, answers and exercises is saved locally.

The repository also includes two companion skills. course-to-apk packages a course as an offline Android app, and course-to-appimage packages it as a Linux desktop AppImage with its own bundled browser engine.
