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:

bash
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.

Example

User: "Extract chapters from /path/to/mybook.epub"

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

Output files will be at /path/to/mybook/:

  • 01_introduction.md
  • 02_chapter_one.md
  • etc.

After extraction, open the output folder:

bash
open /path/to/mybook

Output Format

Each chapter file contains:

markdown
# Chapter Title

[Chapter content in markdown format]

Files are numbered for proper sorting: 01_, 02_, etc.
