Distill

The vault's highest-value output is not notes - it is skills: procedures that turn the third occurrence of a problem into a ten-second solve. This skill distills explorations and repeated workflows into reusable Agent Skills.

When to Use

• A workflow has been repeated successfully (3x rule) and deserves to be permanent
• A hard debugging/exploration session produced a solution worth keeping
• The owner asks "can you make this a skill?"
• The reflect pipeline flags a 3x pattern as a distillation candidate

Don't use for: single-use solutions (distilling everything is how you drown in skills), or capturing knowledge (see reference).
