> Books as tools for AI agents — MCP servers and Agent Skills built from real books, scoped, cited, and grounded in the source.

Practitioners using AI in serious knowledge work — governance leads, change-management consultants, facilitators, founders, operators — get back fuzzy, uncited paraphrase when they ask their AI assistant about the books that matter most for their work. bookpower.org catalogs structured-knowledge artifacts (MCP servers and Agent Skills) built from real books, so an agent can call into the book on demand and surface scoped, cited excerpts instead.

## Catalog

- [Plurality](/plurality.md): Glen Weyl, Audrey Tang & ⿻ Community on plural-voting, augmented deliberation, and digital democracy — Taiwan-tested civic-tech, made queryable from any AI agent.
- [Governable Spaces](/governable-spaces.md): Schneider's framing of democratic design for online life — 13 tools for diagnosing implicit feudalism, finding precedent democratic-medium cases, and surfacing governance forms (sortition, federated subsidiarity, plural voting).
- [Think Like a Commoner](/think-like-a-commoner.md): Bollier's commons framing — turned into 12 tools for naming enclosures, finding precedent commons, walking Ostrom's 8 design principles, and reframing market-mind problems.
- [Producing Open Source Software](/producing-open-source-software.md): Karl Fogel's canonical guide to running open-source projects — turned into a Claude Code skill (claude-audit-oss) that audits OSS repos against Fogel's chapters.
- [Facilitating Deliberation](/facilitating-deliberation.md): MosaicLab's facilitator's reference — 12 tools for designing and running deliberative democracy processes, from macro/micro design templates through readiness assessments to in-room activity selection. (private — request access)

## Methodology

- [How it works](/how-it-works.md): The context-engineering case for books-as-tools, the artifact pipeline (Kreuzberg → Sonnet via API → MCP/skill → Railway), and the license model.
- [For publishers](/for-publishers.md): How a publisher partnership works — a one-book, four-week, no-cost pilot, the author permission template, and the questions a sustainable model needs to answer.
- [Build a tool](/build.md): Public build spec for making your own book-powered MCP server or skill — what good looks like, the rights discipline, and how to submit a tool to the catalog.

## Optional

- [Full content](/llms-full.txt): All catalog and methodology pages concatenated into a single document.
