Instructions

Step 1: Find the book

1. Run mcp__bookworm__list_books to get all available books.
2. Match the user's query to a book title (case-insensitive, partial match OK).
3. If ambiguous, show matching options and ask which one.

Step 2: Show table of contents

1. Run mcp__bookworm__list_sections with the exact book title.
2. Display the TOC as a numbered list:

## [Book Title] by [Author]

1. [Section Name] (X chunks, p.XX)
2. [Section Name] (X chunks, p.XX)
3. ...

3. Ask which section they'd like to read, or if they want a summary of the whole book.

Step 3: Read a section

When the user picks a section:

1. Use mcp__bookworm__get_chapter to retrieve the full content.
2. Present the content in a readable format with proper formatting.
3. After showing the content, offer:
   • Read the next/previous section
   • Search within this book for a specific topic
   • Jump to another section

If user wants a book summary:

1. Use mcp__bookworm__list_sections to get all sections.
2. For each major section, use mcp__bookworm__search_library with book_filter to get representative passages.
3. Synthesize a high-level summary with section-by-section breakdown.

Tips

• If the book title doesn't match exactly, try fuzzy matching against the list
• For long chapters, present the content in digestible pieces rather than dumping everything at once
• Offer context connections — "This section relates to [other section] which covers..."
