fire-card-to-epub

description

Convert FIRE analysis cards, Chinese knowledge notes, or project-note JSON into validated EPUB books with directory cards, chapter cards, keyword index cards, backlinks, and GitHub-shareable ebook assets. Use when Codex needs to teach or automate the path from `fire-analysis-card` outputs to `project-note-json-to-epub` style EPUB files, including sample JSON manuscripts and attached `.epub` deliverables.

FIRE Card to EPUB

Turn FIRE analysis cards into a small validated EPUB book.

Use this skill when the user asks:

• FIRE 卡片變成電子書
• 把分析卡做成 EPUB
• 教我怎麼從 FIRE 到電子書
• 上傳 GitHub 成為技能，附上電子書檔案
• 把 Obsidian 知識卡整理成 EPUB

This skill bridges two workflows:

Source Skill	Role
fire-analysis-card	Analyze article/note material into Fact, Index, Relation, Encyclopedia
project-note-json-to-epub	Package structured notes into EPUB with TOC, index, links, and validation

Core Workflow

1. Create or collect FIRE cards.

   • Each card should have a stable code, title, body, keywords, and optional fire_card.
   • Keep each body chunk compact: one concept per card.

2. Build a project-note JSON manuscript.

   • Use assets/fire-to-epub-tutorial.json as the starting schema.
   • Required top-level fields: title, creator, language, chunks.
   • Optional but recommended fields: subtitle, index, orthogonal_check.

3. Generate EPUB.

python3 scripts/fire_cards_to_epub.py assets/fire-to-epub-tutorial.json --out assets/fire-to-epub-tutorial.epub --download-copy assets/download.epub

4. Verify the output.

   • The script validates XML, href targets, anchors, backlink counts, index links, and file type.
   • Delivery is acceptable only when errors: 0.

5. Upload as a GitHub Skill asset.

   • Include SKILL.md, scripts/fire_cards_to_epub.py, the sample JSON, and the sample EPUB.
   • Keep the EPUB in assets/ so users can download or inspect it from GitHub.

JSON Schema

Minimal manuscript:

{
  "title": "FIRE 卡片變成電子書",
  "creator": "Codex",
  "language": "zh-Hant",
  "chunks": [
    {
      "code": "1.1",
      "title": "FIRE 先成卡",
      "body": "正文內容。",
      "keywords": ["FIRE", "知識卡"],
      "fire_card": "可選：固定寬度 FIRE 卡文字"
    }
  ]
}

Recommended manuscript:

{
  "title": "FIRE 卡片變成電子書",
  "subtitle": "從分析卡到 EPUB 的最小流程",
  "creator": "Codex",
  "language": "zh-Hant",
  "chunks": [
    {
      "code": "1.1",
      "title": "FIRE 先成卡",
      "body": "先把文章壓成穩定知識卡，再進入電子書結構。",
      "keywords": ["FIRE", "知識卡", "Fact"]
    }
  ],
  "index": [
    {"id": "K001", "keyword": "FIRE", "weight": 
  
   
     
     
       
       
    
  

If index is missing, the script derives it from chunks[].keywords.

EPUB Output

The generator writes:

EPUB File	Purpose
mimetype	EPUB signature, first and uncompressed
META-INF/container.xml	Rootfile pointer
OEBPS/content.opf	Metadata, manifest, spine
OEBPS/nav.xhtml	EPUB navigation
OEBPS/Text/toc.xhtml	Directory card
OEBPS/Text/part001.xhtml	Chapter/card pages
OEBPS/Text/index.xhtml	Keyword index cards
OEBPS/Styles/style.css	Readable style

Validation Contract

Before delivery, report:

errors: 0
title: ...
all_href_count: ...
index_forward_links_tested: ...
body_return_links_tested: ...
index_entries: ...
true_body_cjk_count: ...
file type: EPUB document

If errors is not 0, fix the JSON or generator and rebuild.

Teaching Script

Explain the workflow to the user like this:

1. fire-analysis-card 把文章變成穩定知識卡。
2. 把多張 FIRE 卡整理成 chunks[]。
3. 從 keywords 建立 K001、K002 等索引卡。
4. EPUB 由三層組成：目錄卡、正文卡、書末索引卡。
5. 每個正文關鍵詞回鏈到索引卡；索引卡再連回正文。
6. 驗證所有 EPUB 連結，確認 errors: 0。

Notes

• Keep EPUB attachments in assets/.
• Do not hand-edit generated EPUB internals after validation; fix JSON or script and rebuild.
• Use short Chinese card bodies; EPUB is a sequence of cards, not a long essay dump.
