What it does

kaf-cli converts plain text novel files into common eBook formats (EPUB, AZW3, MOBI). It auto-detects encoding, extracts chapters, supports custom covers and CSS, and can batch-generate multiple formats. The project also includes an MCP server variant for integration with AI assistants.

When to use it

Convert large amounts of TXT fiction into polished eBook files for reading or distribution.
Batch-generate EPUB/MOBI/AZW3 with custom styling or specific chapter matching rules.
Integrate eBook conversion into an automated workflow or an AI assistant via the kaf-mcp server.

What's included

Scripts: CLI binaries and release builds referenced in repo releases.
References: references/installation.md, references/cli-reference.md, references/mcp-usage.md bundled in the repo.
Instructions: Installation steps for Windows/Linux/macOS, detailed CLI flags, examples for chapter matching and cover generation, and MCP integration notes.

Compatible agents

Agents that can call shell commands or MCP servers; useful when an assistant needs to convert text files into eBooks programmatically.

Audit Summary

kaf-cli is a CLI tool for converting TXT novels to EPUB/AZW3/MOBI eBook formats. The SKILL.md is comprehensive documentation covering installation, parameters, examples, and an MCP server variant. No bundled scripts were present for execution testing. The skill is purely informational — it documents a standalone binary tool rather than providing executable agent workflows. Chinese-language primary documentation limits accessibility for global audience.

Watch Out

Primary documentation is in Chinese
Requires downloading a binary from GitHub Releases — no checksum verification in instructions
Linux users need separate kindlegen install for MOBI output
No scripts included — skill acts as documentation reference only

Notes

Clean skill with no security concerns. Well-structured documentation but functions as a reference manual rather than an actionable agent skill. The MCP variant (kaf-mcp) adds some AI integration value. References directory mentioned but not bundled in fetched data.
