See what a skill looks like
Bindlore turns a book you have the right to use into a folder an agent can cite: SKILL.md plus chapter references. Below is that shape, filled with a short public-domain text, not a dump of someone else’s copyrighted edition.
The folder
├── SKILL.md
└── references/
├── book-02.md
├── book-04.md
└── book-05.md
Unzip the folder and point Claude, Codex, or another Markdown-reading agent at it. The real extension builds this in your browser; your file isn't uploaded to Bindlore. DRM-locked files are refused.
SKILL.md
Excerpt of the skill file. It tells the agent when to open the book, and how to cite a section instead of paraphrasing from memory.

# Meditations: Book II
**Cite as:** Meditations, Book II, §1 (`references/book-02.md`)
## §1
Begin the morning by saying to thyself, I shall meet with the busybody, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, unsocial. All these things happen to them by reason of their ignorance of what is good and evil. But I who have seen the nature of the good that it is beautiful, and of the bad that it is ugly, and the nature of him who does wrong, that it is akin to me; not [only] of the same blood or seed, but that it participates in [the same] intelligence and [the same] portion of the divinity, I can neither be injured by any of them, for no one can fix on me what is ugly, nor can I be angry with my kinsman, nor hate him. For we are made for co-operation, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of the upper and lower teeth. To act against one another, then, is contrary to nature; and it is acting against one another to be vexed and to turn away.
The other sample chapters are in the zip: Book IV on acting with a purpose, and on retiring into yourself; Book V on setting impressions aside.
