Distill Skill

Turn project memory into curated, auto-loading repo skills. Durable patterns and non-obvious gotchas become a SKILL.md the agent loads on matching future tasks.

Topic = skill name or free text from the user. Empty topic = batch (every dense cluster). Named topic = single skill.

Hard principle

Memory is raw. Skills are curated.

• Never dump memory verbatim.
• Keep: repeated procedures, stable file/command facts, multi-hit gotchas, lasting decisions.
• Drop: fixed one-offs, dead ends, timestamps, PR numbers, superseded claims.
• Verify every load-bearing claim against live files. Unverified → hedge, not assertion.
