EPUB Chapter Extractor

Extract each chapter from an EPUB file into its own markdown file.

Instructions

When the user wants to extract chapters from an EPUB, run the extraction script with uv:

cd ~/.claude/skills/epub-chapter-extractor && uv run --with ebooklib --with beautifulsoup4 --with html2text --with lxml python extract_chapters.py "/path/to/book.epub" [output_dir]

If output_dir is omitted, creates a folder named after the EPUB in the same directory.

cd ~/.claude/skills/epub-chapter-extractor && uv run --with ebooklib --with beautifulsoup4 --with html2text --with lxml python extract_chapters.py "/Users/yourname/Books/mybook.epub"

Output files will be at /Users/yourname/Books/mybook/:

01_introduction.md
02_chapter_one.md
etc.

After extraction, open the output folder:

open /Users/yourname/Books/mybook

# Chapter Title
