+# Book List
+
+Manage a personal reading list stored in MongoDB. Books are stored in the `lists.books` collection with standardized fields.
+
+## Database
+
+- **Database:** `lists`
+- **Collection:** `books`
+
+## Book Schema
+
+Each book document should have these fields:
+
+```json
+{
+  "title": "Book Title",
+  "author": "Author Name",
+  "genre": "fiction|nonfiction",
+  "status": "to_read|reading|completed|dropped",
+  "summary": "Concise description of the book (from jacket/blurb/Goodreads)",
+  "tags": ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"]
+}
+```
+
+### Field Details
+
+- **title** (required): Full book title
+- **author** (required): Author name
+- **genre** (required): Either `fiction` or `nonfiction`
+- **status** (required): One of `to_read`, `reading`, `completed`, `dropped`
+- **summary** (required): Concise description, typically from the book jacket, blurb, or Goodreads description. 1-3 sentences.
+- **tags** (recommended): Array of relevant tags. See Tag Suggestions below.
+
+## Tag Suggestions
+
+When adding a book, suggest 5-10 relevant tags based on the book's content. Categories to consider:
+
+- **Genre-specific:** e.g., `science-fiction`, `mystery`, `memoir`, `philosophy`
+- **Themes:** e.g., `suffering`, `transformation`, `mindfulness`, `redemption`
+- **Religious/Spiritual tradition:** e.g., `buddhism`, `christianity`, `vietnamese-zen`, `mysticism`
+- **Author** (for frequently-read authors): e.g., `thich-nhat-hanh`, `dostoevsky`, `tolkien`
+- **Movement/Period:** e.g., `existentialism`, `stoicism`, `modern-classic`
+- **Topics:** e.g., `meditation`, `ethics`, `psychology`, `history`
+
+**Tag formatting:** lowercase, hyphen-separated, no special characters. Examples: `vietnamese-zen` (not `Vietnamese Zen`), `science-fiction` (not `sci-fi`).
+
+## Dependencies
+
+This skill depends on the **mongodb** skill for all database operations. Reference that skill for:
+- Connection details and credentials
+- How to run Python scripts with `uv run --with pymongo`
+- Code patterns for inserting, updating, querying, and deleting documents
+
+Always use the mongodb skill's patterns when interacting with the database.
+
+## Operations
+
+### Add a Book
+
+When the user wants to add a book:
+
+1. If the user provides only the title, search for the book online to get: author, genre, and a summary
+2. Ask the user for status (default: `to_read`) if not specified
+3. Generate 5-10 relevant tags based on the book's content and author
+4. Show the user the tags you've suggested and ask if they want to add, remove, or modify any
+5. Insert the document into `lists.books` collection
+6. Confirm insertion and show the book's MongoDB document ID
+
+Example insertion:
+```python
+from pymongo import MongoClient
+
+client = MongoClient("mongodb://root:3wwfoUjyk2E2zWELXFlLuHqfw1ALlOp4pb2H5Vq3TImbMIHL2h1u8Jej2mjzCPl@docdb.connorrhodes.com:35563")
+db = client["lists"]
+books = db["books"]
+
+book = {
+    "title": "No Mud, No Lotus: The Art of Transforming Suffering",
+    "author": "Thich Nhat Hanh",
+    "genre": "nonfiction",
+    "status": "to_read",
+    "summary": "The secret to happiness is to acknowledge and transform suffering, not to run away from it.",
+    "tags": ["buddhism", "mindfulness", "suffering", "transformation", "spirituality", "meditation", "vietnamese-zen", "thich-nhat-hanh"]
+}
+
+result = books.insert_one(book)
+print(f"Inserted: {result.inserted_id}")
+client.close()
+```
+
+### Query Books
+
+Common queries:
+
+```python
+# Get all books
+for book in books.find():
+    print(f"{book['title']} - {book['status']}")
+
+# Get books by status
+for book in books.find({"status": "to_read"}):
+    print(book['title'])
+
+# Search by tag
+for book in books.find({"tags": "buddhism"}):
+    print(book['title'])
+
+# Get books by author
+for book in books.find({"author": "Thich Nhat Hanh"}):
+    print(book['title'])
+```
+
+### Update Book Status
+
+```python
+books.update_one(
+    {"title": "Book Title"},
+    {"$set": {"status": "reading"}}
+)
+```
+
+### Update Tags
+
+```python
+books.update_one(
+    {"title": "Book Title"},
+    {"$set": {"tags": ["new", "tag", "list"]}}
+)
+```
+
+### Delete a Book
+
+```python
+books.delete_one({"title": "Book Title"})
+```
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- Always show suggested tags before inserting — let the user confirm or modify
+- Keep summaries concise (1-3 sentences) — copy from jacket/Goodreads rather than writing your own
+- Use lowercase, hyphen-separated tags
+- When querying, use `.limit()` if results might be large
+- Always close the MongoDB client after operations
+- Clean up temporary Python scripts after running
+
+## Triggers
+
+- "add this to my book list"
+- "add [book title] to my books"
+- "what's on my reading list"
+- "show me my to-read books"
+- "mark [book] as reading/completed"
+- "update my book list"
+- "add tags to [book]"
