Add the-knowledge-guy under Productivity & Organization

Hi — adding a skill pair I built and use daily.
the-knowledge-guy is two source skills that compose:
/book-to-skill — a five-stage map-reduce pipeline that turns any PDF or EPUB into a two-tier Claude Code skill (~10 min per 600-page book). Plumbing in Python, intelligence in Claude — every act of understanding is an LLM call./the-knowledge-guy — the auto-discovering router across every installed book-skill, with eleven modes: ask, walk (interactive curriculum + quizzes, resumable), nutshell, library, comparison, cheatsheet, glossary, concept-map, toolkit, ingest, resume.Every output also writes a self-contained HTML artifact under a shared design system, so the nutshell of one book and a cross-book synthesis essay both feel like members of the same product family.
I placed it next to tapestry in Productivity & Organization — they're spiritually adjacent (knowledge networks vs queryable bookshelf). Happy to move it if you'd rather it lived elsewhere.
A few notes that might help the review:
SKILL.md format as of May 2026.uv for a per-skill Python venv (PyMuPDF + ebooklib + beautifulsoup4 + pypdf) — install path is documented in the README.Repo: https://github.com/vitalysim/the-knowledge-guy
Thanks for keeping this list. Let me know if anything needs tweaking.
