About

What it does

lijigang-ljg-skill-xray-book is a Claude Code plugin packaging the 深度拆书机 (deep book deconstructor) skill. Solo builders and indie creators install it when they need to mine nonfiction, business, or technical books for ideas, frameworks, and vocabulary before validation or build work. The skill advertises three rounds of cognitive compression: each pass refines what is worth learning, how ideas connect, and what you can apply in your own product, course, or documentation. It suits founders doing competitive or category research, engineers reading architecture texts, and content operators turning reading lists into briefs. It is not a generic web scraper or citation manager—you bring or paste book content and steer the agent through the skill’s structured teardown. Register the plugin in Claude Code, invoke the skill when starting a reading sprint, and keep the structured output alongside brainstorming or writing-plans workflows for downstream specs.

Highlights

  • Three-round cognitive compression pipeline to extract teachable structure from full books
  • Claude Code skill plugin (1 plugin bundle) focused on deconstruction, not summarization fluff
  • Outputs layered hierarchy: themes, arguments, and reusable concepts for later specs or content
  • Works from book text you supply in-session—no separate app UI required
  • Community catalog entry (lijigang/ljg-skill-xray-book) with book, deconstruct, and xray keywords

Why builders use it

You buy books for edge and insight but finish with highlights you never organize into decisions, specs, or content.

After install, Claude can progressively compress a book into layered concepts and arguments you can cite in scope docs, landing copy, or learning notes.
