Active-reading scaffolding for nonfiction books (EPUB). Parses an EPUB, generates a structured book analysis in the user's Obsidian vault at Read/{Book Name} ({Author})/, with 0. General.md as the book-level overview and one numbered markdown file per chapter containing pre-read brief, the user's own notes section, and post-read synthesis — all through configurable role lenses (e.g. PM, CEO, Entrepreneur). Six sub-skills — reading-lens:setup loads an EPUB with lens selection, reading-lens:brief generates a pre-read brief for a chapter, reading-lens:synthesize generates a post-read synthesis, reading-lens:overview-redo regenerates 0. General.md, reading-lens:lenses manages global lens presets, reading-lens:to-notion mirrors the book to Notion via MCP. Use whenever the user wants deep, structured book analysis, says "analyze this book", "read this book", "reading lens", "book analysis", "pre-read brief", "chapter synthesis", or references an EPUB path. Prefer this skill for any book-study workflow — even when the user doesn't say its name.
Load an EPUB into Claude Code and run /reading-lens:setup <epub-path> to generate the initial vault with 0. General and per-chapter stubs.

To generate structured book analyses from EPUB files, you can use a parsing tool that reads the EPUB, extracts the table of contents, and outputs Obsidian-ready markdown files with a general overview and per-chapter notes directly into your vault.
Yes, you can apply configurable role lenses such as PM, CEO, and Entrepreneur to your nonfiction book analysis. These lenses tailor the generated pre-read briefs and post-read syntheses to your specific professional perspective.
The best way to create pre-read briefs and post-read syntheses is by using an automated analysis tool that processes each chapter individually, generating structured markdown files with sections for briefs, personal notes, and syntheses.
Yes, this EPUB book analysis workflow supports parallel processing. It applies a scalable workflow architecture that generates per-chapter briefs and syntheses concurrently, ensuring consistent and high-quality structured outputs.
To mirror your structured Obsidian book notes to Notion, you can use a dedicated integration command that syncs the generated vault files, including the general overview and chapter syntheses, directly to your Notion workspace via MCP.
A limitation when parsing EPUBs for active reading scaffolding is that the input must be a valid EPUB file format. The tool relies on extracting text and table of contents data, so poorly structured or DRM-protected EPUBs may fail to parse correctly.
