013 Add Help To Book Installer Fdfc606b

# Add Help Feature to Book-Installer Skill

**Date:** January 27, 2025
**Project:** claude-skills/skills/book-installer

## Summary

Added a "help" feature to the book-installer skill that displays a comprehensive catalog of MkDocs features that can be added to intelligent textbooks. When users ask "what does book-installer do?" or request specific features like "add math support", the skill now routes to a new `mkdocs-features.md` reference file.

## Changes Made

### 1. Renamed Skill: installer → book-installer

- Renamed directory: `skills/installer/` → `skills/book-installer/`
- Updated SKILL.md frontmatter: `name: book-installer`
- Updated all documentation references in CLAUDE.md, workshop-prework.md, skill-descriptions

### 2. Updated `skills/book-installer/SKILL.md`

Added new routing table entry:
```
| help, what can you do, features, capabilities, list features, enrich | references/mkdocs-features.md | List all available MkDocs feature enhancements |
```

Updated decision tree to include:
- Help/features routing
- Specific feature request routing

Added mkdocs-features.md to Available Installation Guides section with feature catalog preview.

Added two new examples:
- Example 1: Ask What Book-Installer Can Do
- Example 2: Add a Specific Feature

### 3. Created `skills/book-installer/references/mkdocs-features.md`

New 21KB comprehensive reference file documenting 22+ MkDocs features:

| Feature | Category | Status |
|---------|----------|--------|
| Math Equations (MathJax) | Content | Documented |
| Math Equations (KaTeX) | Content | Documented |
| Code Syntax Highlighting | Content | Documented |
| Code Copy Button | Content | Documented |
| Mermaid Diagrams | Content | Documented |
| Content Tabs | Content | Documented |
| Task Lists | Content | Documented |
| Abbreviations & Glossary Tooltips | Content | Documented |
| Custom Admonitions with Copy | Content | Documented |
| Interactive Quizzes | Educational | Documented |
| Social Media Preview Cards | SEO | Documented |
| Per-Page Social Image Override | SEO | Documented |
| Simple Feedback (Thumbs) | Engagement | Documented |
| Detailed Comment Feedback (Giscus) | Engagement | Documented |
| Image Zoom on Click (GLightbox) | Content | Documented |
| Navigation Tabs | Navigation | Documented |
| Table of Contents Sidebar | Navigation | Documented |
| Search with Suggestions | Navigation | Documented |
| Tags & Categorization | Organization | Documented |
| Blog Support | Content | Documented |
| Privacy & Cookie Consent | Legal | Documented |
| Announcement Bar | Engagement | Documented |

### 4. Updated `scripts/bk-install-skills`

Added automatic cleanup of old/broken symlinks before installing new ones. The script now:
- Detects broken symlinks (target doesn't exist)
- Detects stale symlinks (pointing to renamed/removed skills)
- Removes them and reports what was cleaned up

### 5. Updated Documentation

- `docs/skill-descriptions/book/index.md` - Consolidated install skills into book-installer entry
- `docs/skill-descriptions/book/book-installer.md` - Created new documentation file
- `docs/workshops/workshop-prework.md` - Updated skill name reference
