Goal

• Given information about books (a partial table or a list), find the following information and save it to a file

Workflow

Gather Fields

• Title
• Authors
  • Use the format from .claude/skills/references.rules.md # Format for General Text
• Publisher
• Year
• Technical: Yes if it's a technical book, otherwise no
• Goodreads (1-10): Goodreads rating x 2
• Reviews (1-10): Relative volume (10 = 1500+ reviews, 1 = <10 reviews)
• Academic (1-10): Theoretical depth and scientific rigor
• Practical (1-10): Industry applicability and hands-on utility
• Clarity (1-10): Accessibility and pedagogical quality
• Average: Simple mean of the previous values

Write Output

• Do not print anything on screen. Only save files
• Output files:
  • book_info.md: Markdown table
  • Say in the file how it was generated, with this line right after the title:

    - Generated by `.claude/skills/book_list.gather_info/SKILL.md`
    

  • book_info.tsv: Tab-separated values
  • Do not overwrite an existing file. Use a name like book_info.<COMMENT>.{md,tsv}

Verification

• Confirm book_info.md and book_info.tsv list the same books with the same values
• Confirm no existing output file was overwritten
• The file book_info.md says that it was generated by .claude/skills/book_list.gather_info/SKILL.md
