Once connected, ask your agent:
The agent searches relevant chapter methods, reads the evidence, and applies useful ideas to your question. The agent you are using writes the answer; saved book skills are reusable instructions and references.

​
One skill is enough

Keep the generic Answer with Books skill for a large library. You do not need to clone a repository or install every book. Individual book skills are optional for favorites and local use. To install one, ask “Install the skill for this book.” A ready full-source package includes SKILL.md, chapter notes, glossary, patterns, cheatsheet, and source references. Some hosts discover newly installed skills on the next turn or in a new session.

​
Public and private sources

Public recommendations can include books outside the catalog. When choosing a reading set, the agent should show the selection criteria and let you choose before starting a conversion. Private search only uses your connected account’s eligible books. Hosted semantic retrieval sends the search question to the configured embedding provider. Public CLI retrieval uses the bundled public corpus.

​
Disconnect

Ask your agent to log out of Answer with Books. This revokes its account connection. Book skills already installed on your machine remain local files after logout.
