Book Installer

Book Installer

Version: 1.0

Changelog

• v1.0 — First tracked version number for this skill. Adds references/mascot-placement-rules.md as the single canonical source for when and how often a learning mascot may appear, plus scripts/render-mascot-guide.py (renders those rules into a book's CONTENT-GENERATION-GUIDE.md between sentinel comments so the copy is regenerated, never hand-edited). The per-chapter ceiling is raised from 6 to 9 admonitions for longer chapters, and scripts/validate-chapter-mascots.py now reports the deprecated -encouraging spelling of the encourage pose class — which mascot.css never defined, so it rendered unstyled — and exempts the Chapter 1 self-introduction from the 1-3 sentence cap it always violated. Version is tracked under metadata: rather than a bare version: key, which strict packaging validation rejects.

Type a number or feature name to install.

Note: If you see `navigation.tabs` in mkdocs.yml, remove it. These books
use side navigation optimized for wide landscape screens.

After displaying the list, wait for user to specify which feature they want.

Step 1b: Check for Navigation Tabs (Existing Projects)

When working with an existing mkdocs.yml, always check for and remove navigation tabs:

# REMOVE these lines if present in mkdocs.yml:
theme:
  features:
    - navigation.tabs        # DELETE
    - navigation.tabs.sticky # DELETE

These books use side navigation optimized for wide landscape screens. Top navigation tabs waste vertical space and are not appropriate for this format.

Step 2: Identify Installation Type

Match the user's request to the appropriate installation guide:

Creates:

• overrides/404.html — Jinja2 template extending Material base theme with mascot image, friendly message, and home link
• mkdocs.yml updates for custom_dir and static_templates

Features:

• Uses the mascot's warning pose (or other pose) centered on the page
• Inherits full site navigation (header, sidebar, footer) from the Material theme
• Customizable message matched to the mascot's personality and voice
• Absolute image paths so the 404 works from any URL depth

Prerequisites:

book-metrics.md

Purpose: Generate comprehensive book-wide and per-chapter metrics for an intelligent textbook

Creates:

• docs/learning-graph/book-metrics.md — Book Composition + Student-Facing Content Metrics tables
• docs/learning-graph/chapter-metrics.md — per-chapter breakdown
• merges a metrics block of book-wide totals into docs/learning-graph/book-metadata.json (author fields preserved)

Uses script: bk-generate-book-metrics (resolves $BK_HOME/src/book-metrics/book-metrics.py); fallback python3 "$BK_HOME/src/book-metrics/book-metrics.py" docs

Features:

• Tracks all 12 book-composition elements with Required/Recommended/Optional status

Uses script: scripts/generate-favicon.py

How it works:

• Detects the bounding box of non-transparent pixels (trims invisible padding)
• Centers the visible content on a square canvas with configurable padding
• Downscales to each favicon size using Lanczos resampling
• Supports transparent or white background canvas

Prerequisites:

• Mascot image at docs/img/mascot/neutral.png (image need not be square)
• Python Pillow library (pip install Pillow)

cover-image-generator.md

Purpose: Craft a high-quality cover image prompt at docs/img/cover-image-prompt.md, built from the book's title, course description, concept list, mascot, and MicroSim screenshots. Image auto-generation is optional and only runs if the user explicitly asks for it.

Provides:

• Guidance for selecting 6-10 montage concepts from the book's own content
• A detailed prompt template covering subject/tone, title typography, montage, mascot, style/color, and things to avoid
• Recommended manual review loop: paste the prompt into a text-to-image tool, compare drafts, iterate on the prompt before finalizing
• Optional automated paths (API, browser automation, or local-prompt) with troubleshooting — only used on explicit request

Prerequisites:

• Existing MkDocs project with mkdocs.yml
• docs/course-description.md with book content description
• Only if auto-generation is requested: OpenAI API billing, ChatGPT Pro subscription, or a free AI image generator

kanban-board.md

Purpose: Create a GitHub Projects (v2) Kanban board for tracking textbook development progress

Creates:

• GitHub Projects board with Board (Kanban) layout
• Priority field (High / Medium / Low)
• 13 standard textbook milestone draft items
• docs/project-management.md with column documentation and workflow guide
• README section about the Kanban board

Features:

• Automated setup via gh project CLI commands
• Links project to the repository automatically
• Pre-populated milestones matching the 12-step textbook workflow
• Fallback instructions for manual setup if gh commands fail

Prerequisites:

• gh CLI installed and authenticated
• project scope on the GitHub token (gh auth refresh -s project)
• Existing MkDocs project with mkdocs.yml

supplementary-content-generator.md

Purpose: Generate all standard supplementary content for an intelligent textbook in a single coordinated workflow

Produces (in execution order):

• docs/about.md — professional about page (via about-page.md reference)
• docs/glossary.md — ISO 11179-compliant glossary (via glossary-generator skill)
• docs/faq.md — ≥ 30-question FAQ (via faq-generator skill)
• docs/chapters/*/quiz.md — per-chapter quizzes (via quiz-generator skill)
• docs/chapters/*/references.md — per-chapter reference lists (via reference-generator skill)
• docs/img/cover.png — book cover image + social-preview hook (via cover-image-generator.md + social-media-preview.md)
• Book metrics report (via bk-generate-book-metrics script)
• Diagram reports (via bk-diagram-reports script)
• README.md — GitHub-facing README after metrics, so it can embed content counts (via the book-publisher readme route — skill)
• docs/index.md — main landing page last, so it can link to all of the above (via home-page-template.md)
• Updated mkdocs.yml nav entries for all generated files

Execution order: about → glossary → FAQ → quizzes → references → cover image → metrics → diagram reports → README → landing page → nav update → verification

Model guidance: All text-generation steps use Sonnet. Any MicroSim created during this workflow must use claude-opus-4-7 with high thinking — Opus is significantly better at the coding and spatial reasoning MicroSims require.

Prerequisites:

• Existing MkDocs project with mkdocs.yml
• docs/course-description.md present
• docs/learning-graph/learning-graph.json present
• At least one chapter under docs/chapters/

slide-generator.md

Purpose: Install the slide-viewer MicroSim into an intelligent textbook project and generate presentation-style slides.md decks for specified chapters

Creates:

• docs/sims/slide-viewer/ — viewer shell (main.html, script.js, local.css, index.md) that fetches any rendered MkDocs page URL, splits its content on <hr> elements, and renders one slide at a time with keyboard + button navigation
• docs/chapters/<slug>/slides.md — per chapter: title slide, content slides separated by ---, retrieval check, bridge, celebration close
• Three-button nav bar (Content, Slides, Slides in Viewer) at the top of each chapter's index.md and its slides.md
• mkdocs.yml nav restructured so each chapter with slides has Content / Slides sub-entries

Features:

• Viewer reads MkDocs' rendered HTML (never raw .md — MkDocs doesn't serve .md directly)
• Mascot integration: neutral pose on every slide, celebration pose on the last slide (uses docs/img/mascot/neutral.png and celebration.png if present; silently absent otherwise)
• First/last-slide jump buttons, Home/End keys, fullscreen, table-of-contents overlay
• Distills chapter index.md into 15–28 slides following project voice/style rules

Prerequisites:

• Existing MkDocs Material project with docs/chapters/ populated
• Chapter index.md files with real content (not just scaffold) — guide checks line counts before generating
• Optional: mascot installed via learning-mascot.md

mascot-placement-rules.md

Purpose: The single source of truth for when a learning mascot may appear, how often, and which pose carries which pedagogical job

Used by: learning-mascot.md, mascot-chapter-updater.md, instructors-guide.md, and the chapter-content-generator skill — all of which reference this file rather than restating its rules

Contains:

• The admonition format and the Markdown-vs-raw-HTML image path rules
• The placement table (context → pose → per-chapter count)
• Hard limits: fewer than 10 admonitions per chapter, no back-to-back placement, one welcome and one celebration, 1-3 sentence bodies
• Per-pose instructional-design rules for all seven poses
• The one-time Chapter 1 self-introduction pattern
• The post-generation validation rule

Important: never copy this file's tables or counts into another skill or into a book by hand. Skills reference it by path; books receive a rendered copy via scripts/render-mascot-guide.py, spliced between sentinel comments so it can be regenerated. Run scripts/bk-check-mascot-rules from the repo root to verify no restatement has crept back in.

mascot-chapter-updater.md

Purpose: Retrofit an existing chapter markdown file with mascot admonitions in the right places, following the canonical references/mascot-placement-rules.md

Creates:

• In-place edits to the specified chapter file only (no new files)
• A placement plan shown to the user for confirmation before editing

Features:

• LLM-driven workflow for semantic placement (no regex auto-insertion)
• Enforces the hard limits defined in references/mascot-placement-rules.md (total ceiling, one welcome and one celebration maximum, no back-to-back placements)
• Image-path guidance for directory-URL rendering (counts ../ from rendered page)
• Voice and body-text rules: 1-3 sentences, in-character, specific to chapter content
• Validation via scripts/validate-chapter-mascots.py that flags count limits, back-to-backs, missing mascot images, and body-text length

Prerequisites:

• Mascot images present in docs/img/mascot/ or docs/img/mascots/
• docs/css/mascot.css loaded and the mascot-test page renders correctly
• Specific chapter file identified by absolute path
