This page distributes the Reading Pack: reference data for reading, with an AI, the book AGI: How Superhuman Intelligence Reshapes Civilization (Koichi Takahashi, Kodansha Sensho Metier, 2026). Load it into an AI chat such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, and you can ask questions about the book, answered on the basis of the author's views. Agent Skills-compatible hosts can use the packaged Skill containing the same Japanese and English Reading Packs.
The book is published in Japanese only. The English pack is designed for readers who do not read Japanese: it points to the author's English appendices and essays for verification, and the English terminology in it is the author's working translation.
The button opens the AI chat with a loading instruction prefilled; just send it. (Gemini does not load from links or URLs, so its button takes two steps: copy the full pack, then open Gemini and paste.) This works only with AIs that can browse the web. If the one-tap route does not work, copy or attach the Reading Pack instead.
Copy or attach
- Copy the pack with the button below, or download the file.
- Paste it into an AI chat, or attach it as a file. Send the pack alone at first, with no question attached.
- The AI will display what the material is and the cautions that apply. Read that, then start asking.
Example questions: "contents", "summarize Chapter 2", "what grounds the ecosystem scenario in Chapter 6", "where does the book discuss the Landauer limit".
For agents and the command line there is a short URL: curl -fsSL https://koichi-takahashi.me/agibook/pack-en (Japanese pack: /agibook/pack).
Agent Skill
For an Agent Skills-compatible host, download the Skill that bundles the Japanese and English Reading Packs. It is a compatibility container for the same reviewed material; it does not add or change content or approval. Follow your host's instructions for installing a Skill.

About this material
The Reading Pack is a single file carrying, in a machine-friendly notation, a chapter-and-section map, chapter summaries, canonical propositions with their certainty categories and falsification conditions, reading issues and responses, people and term indexes, references, and book-specific policies. Chapter summaries are at the level of a table of contents, not summaries of the text. An AI that can browse may also consult the English appendices and essays and the machine-readable companion bundle online.
