book-writer is a skill that generates book outlines and expands chapter content with formulas, figures, tables, and code using AI.

About

This skill uses AI to generate a book outline from a prompt and progressively expand each chapter's content. It supports inserting LaTeX formulas, figures, tables, and code, and adapts structure for academic, technical, fiction, and textbook types. A developer uses it via Python scripts to draft long-form books, with content optimization and web material search as helpers.

  • Generates structured book outlines from a prompt and expands chapters level by level
  • Supports formulas (LaTeX), figures, tables, and code across academic, technical, and fiction books
  • Requires OpenAI and Google CSE API keys for generation and material search
