Rules Distill

Scan installed skills, extract cross-cutting principles that appear in multiple skills, and distill them into rules — appending to existing rule files, revising outdated content, or creating new rule files.

Applies the "deterministic collection + LLM judgment" principle: scripts collect facts exhaustively, then an LLM cross-reads the full context and produces verdicts.

When to Use

• Periodic rules maintenance (monthly or after installing new skills)
• After a skill-stocktake reveals patterns that should be rules
• When rules feel incomplete relative to the skills being used

How It Works

The rules distillation process follows three phases:

Phase 1: Inventory (Deterministic Collection)
